| Episode Narrative | A persistently humid and unseasonably warm air mass provided ample instability late on the 16th. Meanwhile, mid-level forcing streamed into central Indiana from west to east, around the southeastern periphery of a strong mid-latitude cyclone positioned over the Upper Midwest. These ingredients combined to produce rotating storms with damaging winds and tornadoes across southern central Indiana through the late day. |
| Event Narrative | The episode's second tornado was the second of three tornadoes spawned from a rotating supercell that crossed southern central Indiana. This was the weakest of the three supercell circulations, tracking only briefly within northeastern Greene County. The tornado tracked in an overall west to east direction, from about 1.5 miles to about 3.5 miles east of the Tulip community. The track was indicated by overall widespread tree damage from high resolution sateillte imagery, from a quarter mile west-northwest of the intersection of East Tulip Road and North Viaduct Road to a half mile north-northwest of the intersection of East Tulip Road and North Parsley Road. Peak wind gusts were 94 mph. |
