A 40-50kt jet out of the WSW continued into the Quad State, bringing enough Gulf moisture to keep PWATs over 2 inches. MLCAPE values reached 2000-2500J/kg, while effective bulk shear remained limited. In Western Kentucky, scattered showers and thunderstorms occurred through the day. A large tree in Murray had large sections blown over due to straight-line winds.
