Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA mesoscale convective system moved east-southeast from southern Illinois into southwest Indiana. The complex transitioned from a continuous line of storms to a more discrete storm mode, with two distinct supercells. The supercell over southwest Indiana produced three tornadoes along its track across Vanderburgh, Warrick, and Spencer Counties. The storms encountered a moderately unstable air mass and sufficient deep-layer wind shear for storm organization. Mixed-layer capes around 1000 to 1500 j/kg were supported by temperatures in the upper 70's and dew points in the lower 60's. This instability, coupled with effective wind shear near 40 knots, supported supercell activity with tornadoes.
