What happened
The episode as NWS IND wrote it up.
Scattered severe thunderstorms developed on the afternoon and evening of the 11th as a warm front lifted north across the region. A remnant outflow boundary extending west to east near Interstate 70 was a catalyst in thunderstorm coverage and intensity. The most intense storm was over Rush County, producing large hail and a funnel cloud. Other storms produced wind damage and large hail up to half dollar size.

Area forecast discussion, May 11, 3:45 PM EST, 21 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 445 PM EDT SUN MAY 11 2014 .UPDATE... THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 304 PM EDT SUN MAY 11 2014 A FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL ALLOW THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TO PERSIST ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA THROUGH MIDWEEK. SEVERAL ADDITIONAL WAVES WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TOWARDS THE END OF THE WORK WEEK BRINGING MORE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE BEFORE A COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT WITH LOWER READINGS RETURNING FOR THE END OF THE WORK WEEK AND NEXT WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT/... ISSUED AT 304 PM EDT SUN MAY 11 2014 AS OF 19Z...A WARM FRONT WAS POSITIONED ACROSS THE EXTREME NORTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY...IN ADDITION TO ANY REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM CONVECTION EARLIER THIS MORNING...ARE EXPECTED TO BE THE FOCUS OF ANY THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE SHEAR VALUES DO NOT LOOK TO BE IMPRESSIVE...UP TO 35 KTS IN THE SOUTHWEST BUT DROPPING OFF RAPIDLY TO THE NORTH...MODEL SOUNDINGS STILL FORECAST SBCAPE VALUES OF OVER 2000 J/KG. HOWEVER...LATEST LAPS SOUNDINGS STILL INDICATE A DECENT CAP IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA WHICH CONTINUES TO INHIBIT ANY DEVELOPMENT AT THIS TIME. AS THE WARM FRONT EXITS THE FORECAST AREA WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...ANY LINGERING STORMS SHOULD DIMINISH BY LATE THIS EVENING. WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE REMAINING AND DECENT CLOUD COVER EXPECTED TO SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE...ALONG CONTINUED SOUTHERLY WINDS...TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN IN MID 60S OVERNIGHT. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... ISSUED AT 304 PM EDT SUN MAY 11 2014 THE MAIN CHALLENGE THROUGHOUT THE SHORT TERM WILL BE CONTINUED PRECIPITATION CHANCES. TEMPERATURES BEFORE AND AFTER COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL BE A SECONDARY CHALLENGE. THE NAM SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST HANDLE ON THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY OUT IN THE PLAINS AND ITS ASSOCIATED FRONTS SO MAINLY IT WAS USED FOR TODAYS FORECAST. THE AREA SHOULD SEE A BREAK IN ANY CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION EARLY MONDAY WITH MID LEVEL RIDGING BUILDING IN. DECENT WARM AIR ADVECTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WITH SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 20-25 MPH ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO SOAR INTO THE THE LOW TO MID 80S. ANY BREAKS IN CLOUD COVER COULD ALLOW FOR EVEN SLIGHTLY HIGHER READINGS WITH A DECENT AMOUNT OF SOLAR. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN MILD MONDAY NIGHT AS WINDS STAY UP AND CLOUDS INCREASE AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. TUESDAY LOOKS TO BE A SOGGY DAY AS THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY MAKES ITS WAY FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. ALL MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE NAM IN REGARDS TO THE TIMING OF THE FRONT. THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO BE POST FRONTAL SO TRIED TO CUT BACK ON POPS PRIOR TO 12Z TUESDAY. ALSO...WITH PRECIPITATION EXPECTED MAINLY BEHIND THE FRONT AND MINIMAL INSTABILITY REMAINING...REDUCED THUNDER MENTION. RAIN SHOWER CHANCES WILL CONTINUE TUESDAY NIGHT WITH THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY EXITING THE AREA. A DEEPENING 500 MB TROUGH AND SEVERAL WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW WILL CAUSE PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO RETURN IN MORE EARNEST ON WEDNESDAY WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING TO BELOW NORMAL VALUES. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... ISSUED AT 207 PM EDT SUN MAY 11 2014 EXTENDED MODELS ARE SIMILAR WITH CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT THROUGH SATURDAY WITH RIDGING STARTING TO BUILD IN SUNDAY. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN SHOWER CHANCES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT ALONG WITH COOL TEMPERATURES. AFTER THAT...MOISTURE IS LACKING...SO WILL KEEP IT DRY. REGIONAL BLEND LOOKS GOOD ON TEMPERATURES CONSIDERING THE CYCLONIC FLOW AND LOW LEVEL THERMAL PROGS. && .AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 112100Z TAF ISSUANCE/... ISSUED AT 445 PM EDT SUN MAY 11 2014 MOVED TIMING UP FOR VCTS TO TIME OF AMENDMENT AND TO 21Z AT KBMG FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THAT STARTED POPPING AROUND CENTRAL INDIANA SHORTLY BEFORE 20Z. ALSO ADDED TEMPO THUNDER EARLIER AT KIND THROUGH THE TOP OF THE HOUR FOR STORMS THAT HAVE ALREADY MOVED TO THE EAST OF THE AIRPORT. WITH SCATTERED NATURE OF CONVECTION STILL NOT ABLE TO PIN DOWN MORE THAN WITH VCTS AT THIS TIME. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON EXPECT PERHAPS IN THE THUNDERSTORMS. WARM FRONT HAS LIFTED NORTH OF THE TERMINALS AND WILL RESULT IN SOUTH WINDS 10 TO 15 KNOTS GUSTING TO NEAR 20 KNOTS. RAPID REFRESH REFLECTIVITY PROGS SUGGEST SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP AFTER 21Z AND LAST THROUGH 02Z. WILL GO WITH VCTS TO COVER THE ACTIVITY.
