The wider storm
A strong storm system was in place across the Upper Mississippi Valley, with all attention for severe weather concentrated there for the day. SPC had all of eastern Kentucky in just a general thunderstorm risk, with increasing risk levels as you headed farther northwest towards the main storm system. That being said, with high pressure to our southeast, Kentucky was in a warm and moist airmass with decent SW flow into the state. Showers and thunderstorms developed throughout the day, mainly in an area oriented from SW to NE. These expanded to eastern Kentucky during the late afternoon and evening hours. Storms ended up producing generally isolated wind damage in Perry and Montgomery counties. The heavy rain also caused some urban flooding in Hazard, KY.
Began near Hazard (37.2398, -83.2129).
