Several clusters of thunderstorms developed ahead of a cold front across northeastern Indiana and moved into northwestern Ohio. The storms interacted with 30 to 40 knots of shear and CAPES in excess of 2000 j/kg, resulting in several reports of damaging winds. A few reports of possible tornado touchdowns were received, but surveys determined all damage was the result of straight-line winds.
