Environment
Multiple areas of low pressure brought the rain to central Indiana. Strong southerly flow aloft brought in the plentiful moisture for the systems to work with. After the last low pressure exited the area, winds became strong and gusty due to a tight pressure gradient and strong winds aloft mixing down.
