| 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 fourth tornado, which had started in Crawford County, Illinois before reaching EF1 intensity in Clark County, IL, crossed the Wabash River into far northwestern Sullivan County while continuing to weaken through EF0 intensity. The tornado uprooted and downed several trees near its end point south-southwest of the Riverview community, about 600 feet northeast of the intersection of County Roads 1100 West and 600 North. Peak wind gusts were 80 mph. |
