Read the full account →Minor flooding occurred along the White River about mid-month. An arctic intrusion quickly retreated by the 10th. The combination of rainfall of one-quarter to three-quarters of an inch late on the 10th and slowly melting snow through the 13th broke up the river ice that formed…

Read the full account →All modes of severe weather were noted during this event. Hail was the primary threat from the scattered early event storms. Then, the bow echo pushed across Central Indiana producing widespread wind damage.
Read the full account →Widespread rain with numerous embedded thunderstorms persisted through the overnight hours of the 15th into the early morning hours of the 16th. Locally heavy rainfall caused some minor flooding of roads and low spots.
Read the full account →Clusters of thunderstorms drifted east-southeast across southwest Indiana. A hot and very moist air mass fed north-northeastward into these storms, maintaining a feed of instability. The storms produced torrential rainfall and an isolated microburst.
Read the full account →Flooding occurred across central Indiana due to heavy rain and snow melt. A few observers in south central and southeast Indiana received more than a foot of snow and a foot of rain during March.

Read the full account →The approach of a strong low pressure system from the west set the stage for a significant severe weather outbreak across central Indiana on May 25th. Eight tornadoes touched down in central Indiana, with an additional one moving into the area from southern Indiana.
Read the full account →A warm front was located across central Indiana during the early evening hours. An area of convection moved in from Illinois along the front and weakened below severe levels.
Read the full account →Heavy rain fell on already saturated ground resulting in numerous road closures and some washouts. By the morning of the 12th, as much as 9 inches of rain had fallen across parts of Tippecanoe and Clinton counties since the evening of the 10th.
