Overview

A strong cold front moved through the Midwest Friday October 15. Rains for much of the day helped to limit coverage of strong to severe storms Friday evening, as the actual cold front moved into the Ohio Valley. A few stronger storms did develop however, as a couple of brief tornados spun up over portions of south central Indiana.
