The wider storm
A slow-moving cold front plodded southeastward into western Kentucky during the evening hours of June 25th. Thunderstorms developed along this boundary across the Lower Ohio Valley, grew upscale and became a cold-pool driven line with embedded supercells. These storms dropped southeast across Central Kentucky through a high instability environment before encountering a more stable air mass east of the Pottsville Escarpment. This led to a gradual weakening of the line of storms once they moved into the Eastern Kentucky Coalfields but not before producing dozens of wind damage reports.
Began near Lerose (37.4823, -83.6149).
