A record breaking low pressure system impacted Indiana on March 3rd initially bringing rain and strong to damaging gradient winds to the area. During the early afternoon hours, a weakening area of storms moved into southern Indiana and caused isolated damaging winds gusts while the gradient winds continued to gradually increase causing additional tree damage and power outages. Across northern Indiana, rain then transitioned to snow with light but non-impactful accumulations. Peak power outages across the state were briefly over 40,000 with much of them along the Ohio River where the thunderstorm winds were more widespread.

A deep, occluded mid-latitude storm system tracking north-northeastward from the Quad Cities area, featured a strengthening upper-level wave. The wave's negatively-tilting trough axis created a strong wind field about 1 mile above the surface at the 850 millibar pressure level. This caused generally 50-60 mph wind gusts at the surface across central Indiana during mainly morning and midday hours on the 5th. The strongest, isolated wind gusts reached 58-65 mph, mainly across Tippecanoe County and Clinton County. Isolated damage reports were led by several counties east of Indianapolis that each reported multiple downed trees and/or numerous power outages.
