Wider weather episode

Convection initiated in Central Illinois and developed into a convective line as it approached Indiana. Thunderstorms developed in the warm sector ahead of the initial line and produced multiple outflow interactions. As the line moved into Ohio, embedded rear inflow jets within the line of storms resulted in several swaths of wind damage and isolated tornadoes.
