The wider storm

Surface high pressure was over the Lower Ohio Valley, but with an upper ridge centered over the CONUS, northwest flow moved several waves of convection through central Kentucky. This resulted in multiple wind damage and hail reports with limited flash flooding reports. A barn fire was also started by a lightning strike.

Began near Cave City (37.1358, -85.9559).
