The wider storm
A squall line of thunderstorms occurred ahead of a strong cold front that trailed southward from a low pressure center over the Great Lakes region. The squall line moved rapidly east-northeast from Arkansas and northwest Tennessee across southwest Kentucky. Pockets of minor to moderate wind damage occurred south of a line from Paducah to Madisonville to Owensboro. A few brief tornadoes accompanied meso-vortices within the line. Heavy rainfall associated with this system caused minor flooding on the Green River, along with a few flooded roads.
Began near Mayfield (36.7700, -88.6400).
