The wider storm
What started as a cold front moving across the Ohio Valley on the 29th, turned into a stationary front as reached eastern Kentucky during the overnight hours. During the day on the 30th, this stationary front moved slightly to the northwest, but generally remained across northern Kentucky, southern Ohio and southern Indiana. Decent warm air and moisture advection from the south through the day contributed to showers and storms developing south of the frontal boundary across eastern Kentucky. These storms produced large hail, generally in the 0.75 to 1.00 inch range. While the hail was mainly sub-severe, one of these reports verified a severe thunderstorm - a 1 inch hail report in Morgan County.
Began near Sprout Spgs (37.8380, -83.9666).
