The episode as NWS IND wrote it up.
Overnight thunderstorms crossed into southwestern Indiana which caused damaging wind gusts in Knox county around dawn on the 26th, before dissipating as they continued further into central Indiana.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 632 AM EDT Wed Jul 27 2022 ...Updated Aviation Discussion... .Short Term...(Today through Thursday) Issued at 253 AM EDT Wed Jul 27 2022 ....FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA INTO EARLY EVENING... * Heavy rain remains possible across southern sections of central Indiana today * Lower confidence in coverage of rain today through Thursday Early this morning, scattered thunderstorms are once again developing across the southern half of the forecast area. This is north of the old quasistationary boundary, and near an increase in 850mb winds and moisture transport. Coverage may increase in the predawn hours with the 850mb jet continuing. Will wait and see coverage before issuance time, but will probably have likely PoPs south with chance PoPs elsewhere. Some models try and bring the convection farther north, but confidence is lower with that area being farther from the low level jet and best moisture advection. This initial round of convection will diminish during the daylight hours of the morning as the 850mb jet weakens, so will diminish PoPs accordingly. However, will have to keep an eye on how the convection currently moving over Missouri does. If it holds together longer, PoPs may need to be kept higher for longer. A surface cold front will move into northern Indiana this afternoon. Some breaks in the clouds are expected, and this will allow some instability to build. Thus, scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible. Will have chance PoPs. Best instability remains south of the area, but an isolated strong to severe storm may be possible across the southern forecast area (closer to the old surface front) if enough instability can build. Precipitable water values remain high, keeping the threat for heavy rain around. Given recent heavy rains, will keep Flood Watch going as is for now, even though confidence on coverage is lower than desired. Scattered convection will diminish this evening, but some interaction between 850mb winds and the old surface boundary will keep a low threat for convection going overnight, especially south. On Thursday, a stronger upper system will approach the area and generate more convection. The surface front will be across the southern forecast area, so better chances for rain will be there. Will go likely there with lower PoPs elsewhere. Locally heavy rain will again be possible, so will need to keep an eye on the southern forecast area once again. Temperatures today will depend on how much clearing occurs, but feel that highs from around 80 to the lower 80s is reasonable. Highs on Thursday should also be in the lower 80s given expected coverage of rain. && .Long Term...(Thursday night through Tuesday) Issued at 253 AM EDT Wed Jul 27 2022 * Seasonably cool and drier to end the week * Showers and thunderstorms may return by the end of the weekend * Increasing temperatures next week Friday and Saturday A potent trough will be in the process of flattening and ejecting eastward on Friday, with a cold front dropping south out of the CWA. Any lingering showers from the front should be confined mainly to our southern counties. Northerly flow and drier air in the post- front environment, combined with a strengthening surface high pressure, will result in generally quiet weather. Tranquil conditions should then continue through Saturday and into Sunday. Sunday and Monday As the upper-level trough ejects eastward, temporary zonal flow takes hold long enough for the aforementioned surface front to stall just south of Indiana. Flow aloft gradually takes on a slight cyclonic curvature as broad weak troughing returns to the eastern US. A few impulses embedded within this weak flow may allow some showers and storms to fire up along the now stalled surface front. A few of the deterministic models have some precip clipping our southern counties beginning on Sunday. Will carry slight to chance PoPs to account for this possibility. Uncertainty in the eventual location of the stalled front and timing of upper-level waves are the limiting factors regarding precip potential later this weekend. Additionally, guidance is hinting at the development of a strong surface low pressure system over western Canada that tracks eastward over the weekend. The system's associated cold front sweeps southward into the Ohio Valley by Monday evening. Coverage and timing of showers and storms associated with the front vary from model to model. Some other factors to take into consideration are any ongoing showers and storms with the stalled boundary already over the region. These storms could prevent moisture and instability from spreading northward to be utilized by the second front. Therefore, confidence is low, so will maintain chance PoPs through Monday into Tuesday. Tuesday and Wednesday Showers and Thunderstorms from the secondary cold front may still be around by this point in the long range, but a drying trend should resume. Broad cyclonic flow aloft is shown by both GFS and ECMWF ensembles to become more anticyclonic as ridging amplifies over the Great Plains. A transition to ridging implies a warming trend is possible next week, with hot and humid weather making a return. Despite being at the end of the long range, confidence is above average given the strong signals for ridging in nearly all guidance. Details will vary, of course, but the potential for above-average temperatures next week is increasing. && .Aviation...(12Z TAF Issuance) Issued at 632 AM EDT Wed Jul 27 2022 Impacts: * Some TSRA will be around this morning, especially at southern sites. IFR or worse possible in TSRA. * Outside of TSRA, a period of MVFR (and some IFR) conditions through the morning and possibly into early afternoon. * Scattered convection again later this afternoon and tonight. Discussion: First area of convection will be east of the sites by valid time, but area of convection across southern Illinois will move east/northeast into the area early in the period. There should be a weakening trend, but with uncertainty on when that will happen, went ahead and put in a VCTS mention at all but KLAF early in the period. This convection will weaken/move out of the area by late morning. Additional convection will develop later today but coverage of TS will likely be too low to mention in TAFs. Went with VCSH. Conditions will deteriorate to MVFR and IFR during the morning into early afternoon, then improvement should occur to at least low VFR. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
