==Meteorological synopsis==
On June 2, an unseasonably intense [[low-pressure area|surface low]] over eastern North Dakota brought with it a [[cold front]] across the [[Mississippi Valley]]. Ahead of the front, a highly [[Convective available potential energy#Example from meteorology|unstable air mass]] combined with a strong [[jet stream]] that increased the [[Synoptic scale meteorology|synoptic-scale]] [[Momentum|lifting]] favoring [[supercell]] development. Meanwhile, backed [[Thermal wind#Advection turning|southerly low-level winds]] brought moist [[dew point]]s well into the region.<ref name=NWSIndianapolis1 /> The [[Storm Prediction Center|National Severe Storms Forecast Center]] in [[Norman, Oklahoma]], put out a [[List of SPC high-risk days|high risk]] for [[severe weather]] over much of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and northern Kentucky. A notable feature of this outbreak is that there was a sector of weak tornadoes north of [[Terre Haute, Indiana]], while a sector of strong and vicious tornadoes developed south of the city.<ref name=NWSIndianapolis1 />
