EF1 tornado in Cass County, Indiana

A NWS survey of the area confirmed the touchdown of a tornado in Carroll county, which tracked east into Cass county. Most of the damage was confined to crops along the path. However, several trees were blown down off of S County Road 125 E and 200 E. A poorly anchored smaller barn was destroyed with a nearby larger barn suffering metal roofing damage. A home in the area also suffered minor damage. Maximum winds were estimated at around 95 mph.

Synoptic quasi-stationary boundary was located across the forecast area, initially across northern parts during the morning and then sagging south as an upper level wave moved into the region during the late afternoon and evening hours. A morning complex of storms caused sporadic wind damage as well as some areal flooding. Subsidence behind the system kept any further development of storms limited until the approach of the wave. This wave, combined with the front and instability advected in from central Illinois all set the stage for increasing thunderstorm development. Several supercells developed, producing long lived wall clouds and two confirmed tornadoes. IN addition, training of convection caused flash flooding in some parts of Indiana and Ohio.
