Event narrative

An 8 diameter tree blew down near the intersection of Jefferson and Lemon Roads.

Wider weather episode

Early in the day, low level wind shear was very strong. A stable layer over the area allowed a warm front to bring sunshine and warmer temperatures to the region, but the warming surface temperatures caused the stable layer to erode and become less stable. Later, as storms along a cold front moved through the area, one report of tree damage was reported in south-central Indiana.
