Thunderstorm Wind June 26, 2022 · Lee County, Kentucky
Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.
What the National Weather Service wrote
Dispatch reported that thunderstorm winds had blown down a tree onto KY-52 West near Beattyville.
The wider storm
Scattered thunderstorms developed along a weak pre-frontal trough during the early afternoon hours. The very moist dew points in the lower to middle 70s allowed for plenty of instability, but the lack of notable shear prevented storm organization. Instead, the collapse of precipitation-loaded storm cores caused scattered strong wind gusts and isolated instances of marginally severe wind damage.
Began near Mt Olive (37.6200, -83.7300).
