Thankfully as it reached eastern Kentucky, it began to break apart. However, embedded stronger storms within the system still led to multiple severe thunderstorm warnings just before noon. Storms continued to pop up throughout the day ahead of the approaching cold front. These storms resulted in high rainfall rates and amounts, and ultimately led to additional flash flood warnings and another severe thunderstorm warning or two.
