Flood in Fayette County, Kentucky

A small creek between Laredo Drive and Wilson Downing Road was out of its banks, with about one foot of water spilling into an adjacent parking lot. Water approached a nearby apartment complex as well.

A quasi-stationary front was draped across the lower Ohio Valley from February 5th into the 6th. South of the front, a warm and humid air mass was present, with temperatures in the mid 60s and dewpoints in the upper 50s and low 60s during the early morning hours on February 6th. Temperatures warmed into the low 70s south of the front during the day, with dewpoints remaining in the low 60s. A few elevated storms produced severe hail across Mercer County just after midnight. The main wave of strong to severe storms occurred during the early morning hours on the 6th, as a shortwave in the mid levels moved across the area. A broken line of miniature supercells produced isolated wind damage across south central Kentucky, as well as an EF1 tornado which briefly touched down in Hart County. More isolated wind damage occurred during the late afternoon hours in the Lake Cumberland area before the front pushed off to the east.
