The radar
The Evansville,IN radar (KVWX), 77 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 03:46 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Lincoln, IL (KILX), launched 00:00Z, 3.8 hours before the alert went out and 201 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 809 PM EDT Sun Jun 21 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Heavy rain and severe storms are possible this afternoon into early Monday - Flooding threat for both river/non-river will increase through the early week from heavy rainfall on damp/saturated soils - Temperatures will trend from slightly below normal to near normal through Saturday...trend to very warm/humid late in period && .DISCUSSION (This evening through Sunday)... Issued at 302 PM EDT Sun Jun 21 2026 This afternoon through Monday... Quiet weather conditions continue across central Indiana at this time ahead of an approaching MCS with an associated MCV. Look for this system to continue pushing eastward supporting widespread showers and thunderstorms towards this evening. Increasing clouds has limited destabilization to some degree, but moisture advection and daytime heating is allowing for gradual destabilization this afternoon. Deep-layer and low-level shear will also increase over the next several hours with the approaching disturbance promoting stronger flow. Favorable effective shear values around 30-50 kt combined with modest instability supports the potential for organized storms with all hazards possible. Latest model guidance still depicts enlarging low-level hodographs across portions of central IN favoring an isolated tornado threat. The greatest tornado threat is across southwest portions of central Indiana where the greatest instability and low-level wind shear overlap. Some uncertainty remains on storm mode at least initially. There does appear to be at least a brief opportunity for discrete cells later this afternoon into the early evening before multiple linear segments then develop leading to a greater damaging wind gust threat with embedded tornadoes possible. Isolated large hail cannot be ruled out, but modest instability and linear storm mode by the evening hours should mostly limit this threat. A Flood Watch is in effect through 8 AM Monday morning for much of central IN with the potential for 1 to 3 inches of rainfall from multiple rounds of storms. Locally higher amounts cannot be ruled out. Expect precipitation chances to diminish late tonight into Monday morning as the aforementioned disturbance shifts east. Surface high pressure will then build in providing quiet weather for much of the day Monday. Isolated showers are possible across east- central IN through the first half of the day. Lingering clouds and northerly surface flow will keep temperatures cooler. Look for highs in the 70s. Monday night through Sunday... Generally active pattern will continue this week amid overall zonal pattern. Established trough over northern North America that has been guiding mid-latitude pattern...will shift from south-central Canada to more pronounced, perhaps cut-off upper lows over SW Canada to the northern Rockies late this week. This transition will allow a subtropical ridge to build over the central US, bringing seasonably warm and humid conditions into Indiana next weekend. The next round of broad and seasonably weak Canadian surface high pressure will pass through Indiana Monday night to Tuesday night, dropping dewpoints to the mainly low to mid-50s at night, and light northerly breezes under H850 temperatures as low as 10 degrees Celsius during the day Tuesday. Transition back to more summery weather Wednesday with light southwest flow returning moderate humidity ahead of next wave...which should bring periods of scattered RWs/few TRWs through the Wednesday night-Thursday night period as the disturbance's boundary slowly crosses the region. Expect a shorter period of improvement around the Friday timeframe as western trough deepens near Vancouver...only allowing next northern surface ridge to graze the CWA, with isolated diurnal convective chances continuing...and increasing through Saturday as light southerly flow boosts humidity through moderate to high levels. Temperatures through the workweek to see subtle increase in afternoon maximums from around 80F to low 80s, although mid-80s should be more common along the US-50 corridor...while morning lows steadily climb from 50s to 65-70F by week's end. && .AVIATION (00Z TAF Issuance)... Issued at 809 PM EDT Sun Jun 21 2026 Impacts: - Thunderstorms ongoing at the beginning of the TAF period with lowered ceilings and visibilities - Rain and isolated thunderstorms to continue through around 12Z - MVFR to IFR ceilings to persist from early morning through much of tomorrow - Winds shifting from SE to W to N through the period Discussion: Ongoing thunderstorms at the start of the period with strongest storms just exiting TAF sites as of 00-01Z. As these storms move off to the east, expect visibilities to improve but MVFR to IFR ceilings are expected to persist through much of the day tomorrow. Winds will start out from the SE with gusts up to 20 kts outside of thunderstorm wind gusts. Winds will shift to out of the SW by early morning and eventually from the north as this storm system moves through the region. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
