The wider storm

On March 14, 2024, in the warm sector ahead of a cold front, a supercell formed on the southern side of a convective line moving east through central Indiana. As the supercell moved east across southern Indiana and northern Kentucky, it produced a tornado which formed near Hanover, Indiana, crossed the Ohio River into Milton, Kentucky, and then crossed the Ohio River two more times before ending east of Carrollton, Kentucky. This tornado reached a maximum strength of 115 mph (EF2) and was on the ground for over 18 miles.

Later that night, ahead of the cold front, a line of thunderstorms brought down multiple trees and a few power lines. It also produced a weak tornado in Breckinridge County. Multiple reports of severe hail were also received from across the region.

Began near Mathers Mill (37.5460, -85.7475).
