What the National Weather Service wrote

Large trees were uprooted. There was also minor structural damage near Hardinsburg Baptist Church.

The wider storm

A low pressure storm system moved from the northern Plains towards northeastern Canada. This placed the Lower Ohio Valley in the system's warm sector in between the system's warm and cold fronts, and with temperatures in the 90s with plenty of moisture, scattered afternoon convection developed throughout the region. A few of these storms produced isolated wind damage across central Kentucky.

Began near Hardinsburg (37.7631, -86.4695).
