I know this is a good while away but not what you want to see if you hate severe weather coming into April. A -PNA flexing. Not a bad signal that far-out. If true will be more profound as we get closer.

The most long-lived tornadic supercell of this system but it has yet to produce anything... probably. A couple cells behind it are weakly rotating.

It's been going for at least an hour.

0z ILN sounding shows very strong low-level shear but chaotic and at times weak mid-level flow. I can't imagine the latter isn't present with the Indiana supercell, yet it's managed to maintain a mesocyclone. 

Instability is enough for thunder but that's about it. Mesoanalysis shows the warm front is just to our south, so maybe instability will increase as that supercell approaches. I expect it to weaken and probably not be tornadic by the time it makes it to Ohio but who knows.

Hard to tell exactly how strong the rotation is when it's this close to the radar but very well defined supercell. Definitely not your Plains kind of supercell but apparently that warm front is a vibe.

5 damaging wind reports in Indiana--Washington county--are tagged with possible tornado. There was definitely a tornado just NW of Elizabethstown, KY because of debris... and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a tornado in the vicinity of KLVX radar.
