Thunderstorm Wind in Greenup County, Kentucky

In Greenup, a tree fell onto Winifred Street.

A stationary front hovered over Ohio and Pennsylvania on the 5th and 6th of June. The front briefly resumed a southeast march into West Virginia on the 7th before stalling across the area once again. A low pressure system finally pushed the boundary to the north and then sent a cold front through the middle Ohio Valley and central Appalachians on the 8th.

During this time, rounds of very heavy rain within thunderstorms deposited a couple inches of rain in some locations and led to flooding on a few roadways in Boyd County on the 8th. In addition to the heavy rain, a few storms were able to grow strong with the help of daytime on the afternoon of June 9th to produce damaging wind gusts across eastern Kentucky. This resulted in two instances of downed trees in Greenup County that afternoon before activity shifted out of the area.
