Wider weather episode

An outflow boundary from overnight storms initiated a round of strong to severe thunderstorms north of Indianapolis before spreading through much of central and south central Indiana. Radar showed numerous weak microburst/downbursts at times through the late morning and early afternoon with minor tree damage noted in Hendricks and Marion county. Across that same area and also across southern Putnam and northeastern Owen, storms remained stationary which led to pockets of 2-3 inches and flooding.
