A strong southerly flow and developing low pressure helped push a warm front north into parts of Northern Indiana.  A cold front swept in from the west as well. Strong to extreme low level shear was located near the warm front.  However, many of the storms were not able to fully utilize this stronger shear.  Numerous low topped thunderstorms developed with several exhibiting persistent rotation across western portions of Indiana. Isolated severe hail was reported. A few reports of wall clouds or rotation were received, but a lack of backing winds prevented favorable tornadic environment.  As the storms attempted to interact more with the warm front, a Line Echo Wave Pattern (LEWP) developed and a few of the storms began to produce locally damaging winds.
