What happened

The episode as NWS IND wrote it up.

On March 23rd, a long lived mini supercell tracked from Martin County northeast through Bloomington, Shelby County, and the southeast Indianapolis metro, continuing northeast through Muncie. This storm produced a wall cloud and funnel cloud in the Bloomington area, and persistent hail that generally ranged from pea to quarter size throughout much of its lifespan. Golf ball size hail occurred in Muncie after the storm briefly intensified. Maybe most impressive, this storm dropped excessive amounts of small hail throughout northwest Shelby County, causing it to collect to the depths of 3 to 4 inches deep along Interstate 74 and other roads in the vicinity of Fairland. Interstate 74 was closed for an extended time period during the early morning of the 24th as county officials needed to use snow plows to get the remnant hail off the road.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
222 PM EDT FRI MAR 23 2012

.UPDATE...
THE SYNOPSIS...NEAR TERM...SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM SECTIONS HAVE
BEEN UPDATED BELOW

&&

.SYNOPSIS...LOW PRESSURE OVER WESTERN MISSOURI IS EXPECTED TO PUSH
EAST ACROSS INDIANA TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...BEFORE EXITING THE AREA
ON SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY THE LOW AS IT PASSES.

A STRONG AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD ACROSS INDIANA ON
MONDAY AND TUESDAY PROVIDING DRY WEATHER ALONG WITH COOLER
TEMPERATURES.

A FEW FRONTAL BOUNDARIES ARE EXPECTED TO PUSH ACROSS INDIANA ON
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS LOW PRESSURE PASSES TO THE NORTH OF THE
STATE. THIS WILL RESULT IN OUR NEXT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO RETURN ON FRIDAY AS HIGH
RETURNS TO THE OHIO VALLEY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...SURFACE ANALYSIS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS
LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER EASTERN MISSOURI. WATER VAPOR IMAGES
INDICATE CUT OFF UPPER LOW OVER MISSOURI AS THESE TWO SYSTEMS WERE
ASSOCIATED. DRY AIR WAS SEEN INFILTRATING THE LOW. RADAR MOSAICS
SHOWS LITTLE PRECIPITATION IN MISSOURI NEAR THE LOW PRESSURE
CENTER...HOWEVER WHERE THE THE DRY SLOT WAS LOCATED...SOME DAYTIME
HEATING HAVE RESULTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF TSRA OVER SOUTHERN ILLINOIS.

GRADUAL EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOULD
ALLOW A GRADUAL INTRUSION OF THE DRY SLOT OVER CENTRAL ILLINOIS
ACROSS INDIANA THIS EVENING. HOWEVER HEATING AND DESTABILIZATION
WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT IN SHRA AND TRSA DURING THE EARLY EVENING
HOURS...ALTHOUGH COVERAGE AND INTENSITY SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER
SUNSET. TIME HEIGHTS ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA CONTINUE TO INDICATE
SATURATED LOWER LEVELS ALONG WITH GOOD LIFT THROUGH 03Z. THUS WILL
TREND POPS AT OR ABOVE MAVMOS...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE
SOUTHWESTERN PARTS OF CENTRAL INDIANA DUE TO PROXIMITY TO THE
DEVELOPING THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND EXPECTED PROPAGATION.

AS FOR LOWS WILL TREND WARMER THAN GUIDANCE CONSIDERING THE
EXPECTED CLOUDS AND RAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT DURING THIS PERIOD AND WILL
USE A BLEND. THE CUT OFF UPPER LOW IS EXPECTED TO PASS ACROSS
INDIANA ON SATURDAY AND AS STATED ABOVE...THIS SYSTEM IS FILLED
WITH PLENTY OF DRY AIR AND LITTLE PRECIPITATION. LITTLE CHANGE IS
EXPECTED AS IT ARRIVES IN OUR AREA ON SATURDAY AS DEEP FORCING IS
NOT AVAILABLE...NOR IS ANY DEEP MOISTURE. GIVEN THE CYCLONIC FLOW
AND AVAILABLE LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE WILL NEED TO CONTINUE LOW
CHANCES FOR SHRA ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. WILL TREND HIGHS ON
SATURDAY COOLER THAN MAVMOS AS 850MB TEMPS FALL TO NEAR 3C BY 12Z
SAT AND PLENTY OF CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED.

CUT OFF LOW DEPARTS ON SATURDAY NIGHT...AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS
BEGIN TO DRY OUT ON SUNDAY AS STRONG RIDGING OVER THE PLAINS
STATES BEGINS TO BUILD EASTWARD. THUS GIVEN THE LIMITED
MOISTURE...PRECIP THREAT SHOULD END ON SATURDAY NIGHT AS WE ARRIVE
ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE DEPARTING LOW. WILL STICK CLOSE TO MAVMOS
LOWS.

STRONG RIDGING IS EXPECTED TO BUILD ACROSS INDIANA ON SUNDAY.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES THAT SHOULD BE
REACHED DURING THE AFTERNOON...BUT MID LEVEL SUBSIDENCE WILL
PREVENT SHRA...THUS JUST SOME CU IS EXPECTED. GIVEN OUR EXPECTED
850MB TEMPERATURES WILL TREND HIGHS COOLER THAN MAVMOS.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ALONG WITH SOME COLD AIR ADVECTION ON THE
FRONT SIDE OF THE APPROACHING RIDGE WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA ON
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW LITTLE DEEP
MOISTURE ALONG WITH A MID LEVEL INVERSION ON MONDAY. THUS WILL AIM
FOR MOSTLY CLEAR ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND PARTLY CLOUDY ON MONDAY. WITH
EXPECTED COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL TREND LOWS COOLER THAN MAVMOS AND
HIGHS COOLER THAN MEXMOS.

&&

.LONG TERM.../MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/

SEE LITTLE REASON TO DEVIATE FROM ALLBLEND TODAY...AS THERE IS
DECENT AGREEMENT ON A MORE PROGRESSIVE FLOW REGIME WITH ONE OR MORE
DISTURBANCES NEXT WEEK BRINGING AT LEAST ONE CHANCE FOR PRECIP TO
THE AREA.

TEMPS SHOULD CONTINUE TO RUN ABOVE NORMAL...OCCASIONALLY WELL ABOVE
NORMAL...THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 23/18Z TAFS/...

FINALLY SEEING SOME BREAKUP IN RESTRICTIONS ACROSS THE SITES...BUT
THIS MAY BE SPORADIC THIS AFTERNOON. APPROACHING UPPER LOW IS
SPARKING SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO REPLACE GENERAL SHOWERS...AND HAVE
DEPICTED VCTS/CB MENTION FOR PEAK PERIOD BETWEEN ABOUT 20-03Z.

WILDLY FLUCTUATING CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN TS OF COURSE...BUT
OTHERWISE SHOULD SEE BRIEF IMPROVEMENTS THIS AFTERNOON AS DRY SLOT
WORKS WAY OVER. AS CORE OF THE UPPER LOW APPROACHES...CONCERN THAT
COOL AIR OVER MOIST GROUND WILL RESULT IN RENEWED IFR
CONDITIONS...AND THIS WAS THE CASE NORTHEAST OF THE LOW CORE THIS
MORNING. WILL NOT GO QUITE AS LOW...BUT STILL 2SM/OVC009. LIFR/VLIFR
CANNOT BE RULED OUT.

WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE SOUTHERLY BEFORE TURNING TO THE SOUTHWEST
TOMORROW.

&&

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
