Flash Flood in Johnson County, Kentucky

Pictures on social media showed a creek was out of it's banks and water flowing around several homes on Silk Stocking Loop near the community of VanLear.

On the afternoon of the 2nd a strong surface low was located over the MN/WI area, with a warm front extending southwest through the OH valley, and a trailing cold front extending SSE through the Ozarks. By 00Z (the evening of the 2nd), a strong convective squall line had developed across the Ohio and Mississippi Valley which slowly continued east through the evening. By early morning on the 3rd this strong, nocturnal convective squall line continued to move through Eastern Kentucky. As the driving cold front approached SE Kentucky behind this convective line, it stalled for several hours before becoming a warm front around 15Z on the 4th. Between the convective squall line early on the 3rd and the cold front becoming a warm front through the 4th, many areas picked up 2 to 5 inches of rainfall, experienced severe wind gusts, wind damage, and flooding.
