The wider storm
An unstable atmosphere was in place ahead of a strong cold front moving into the region from the west and a weak warm front located across northwestern Indiana. These features combined with a high shear environment supported development of thunderstorms across northern Illinois. These storms moved across southern Lake Michigan, producing gusty winds as they came onshore.
Began near Michigan City C-man Station (mcyi3) (41.7300, -86.9100).
