The wider storm

A line of showers and thunderstorms developed in the early morning hours of February 10, 2024, ahead of a cold front in an environment that had very strong shear but little instability. The storms, mainly in southern Indiana and portions of north-central Kentucky, ended up morphing into a convective line that produced both wind damage and a couple of isolated tornadoes before weakening and pushing east of the region by sunrise. A total of two small, short-lived EF-1 tornadoes developed with the line, one in southern Indiana and one is central Kentucky.

Began near Floyds Knobs (38.3200, -85.8700).
