Hot and extremely humid surface conditions provided very high instability, while a slowly- advancing warm frontal zone promoted ample vertical wind shear, which led to widespread afternoon thunderstorms along and north of the I-74 corridor. Storms produced isolated flash flooding as well as marginally-severe winds and hail, over both north-central and east-central portions of central Indiana.
