Episodes

February 28, 2017

An isolated but very powerful supercell thunderstorm moved across southwest Indiana during the late evening hours. The storm originated over Missouri in a destabilizing pre-frontal air mass characterized by dew points in the lower to mid 60's. This intense supercell storm awaited the approach of a mid-level impulse from Oklahoma, which was downstream from the primary shortwave trough over the Plains. A southwesterly low-level jet increased substantially during the evening. A long-track, strong tornado was spawned in southeast Illinois, and it continued east-northeast for about 45 miles before lifting in eastern Gibson County, Indiana.

January 13, 2017

North and west of Evansville, up to one-tenth inch of ice accumulated on elevated surfaces, including trees and power lines. Ground surfaces were relatively warm following three days of high temperatures in the 50's and 60's. Therefore, impacts on travel were quite minor due to the melting on pavement. The freezing rain occurred north of a stationary front that extended from southern Arkansas to southern Tennessee. High pressure over the Upper Mississippi Valley produced a cold northeast wind flow at the surface.

May 13, 2009

Strong winds developed in association with a line of moderate showers. Trees and power lines were blown down near Arthur in Pike County. Trees and power lines were down in Gibson County. Widespread wind gusts around 55 mph were reported in Gibson County. Power lines and trees were down at Francisco in Gibson County. A vehicle was off the road.

April 11, 2007

A powerful low pressure system moved east-northeast across central Illinois. Isolated severe thunderstorms developed ahead of a cold front that trailed south from the low across southern Illinois. These storms produced hail along with isolated reports of gusty winds.

February 24, 2007

A strong low pressure system tracked northeast from central Kansas to northwest Missouri during the afternoon and evening. Strong southeast to south winds ahead of this system gusted up to 45 MPH at times. In Gibson County, several trees were blown down in various parts of the county. Some trees landed on power lines. A car port was blown over.
