The wider storm
A cold front approached eastern Kentucky during the day on Tuesday July 12. It then slowed and eventually stalled across eastern Kentucky during the afternoon and evening hours. With most of the area seeing plenty of time for heating and destabalization ahead of the front, the presence of the boundary across the region was the added lift needed to spawn strong thunderstorms that resulted in multiple instances of wind damage, mainly across McCreary and Bell Counties. Pulaski County also experienced some localized damage.
Began near Cumberland Falls (36.8583, -84.4356).
