What the National Weather Service wrote
Flooding was reported during the afternoon on KY-130 south of Uniontown. Rainfall rates in the area peaked at around 1/hr.
The wider storm
As high pressure slowly crept northward towards the Quad State region, ridging remained over the middle Mississippi River Valley. A slow-moving MCS moved through the northeastern half of the Quad State midday to near sunset. CAPE rose to 2000-3000J/kg but shear remained limited in Western Kentucky. Extremely high moisture content with precipitable water values of 2.2in resulted in torrential rainfall rate potential but intensity decreased late afternoon as the storm line dropped into Western Kentucky. Flooding was reported in Union County, while a tree was felled by thunderstorm winds in Hopkins County.
Began near Uniontown (37.7569, -87.9269).
