The wider storm

A strong cold front opened up the month of April across northeast Kentucky, supplying a brief burst of strong to severe thunderstorms. The first storm of note passed through Lawrence County shortly after midday, leading to local power outages from downed trees and power lines. A few hours later, one more storm pressed through the county and prompted a single downed tree. The bulk of the convective activity then became focused in West Virginia, bringing the severe threat to northeast Kentucky to an end.

Began near Louisa (38.1069, -82.6193).
