Wider weather episode

On the second day of heavy rain across central Kentucky, a quasi-stationary boundary was draped across the area. Training storms across south central KY in the morning resulted in significant flash flooding. Strong to severe thunderstorms then developed during the late morning across east central KY. As these storms moved off to the east another round of storms moved in from the west in response to a system moving out of central Missouri. These storms resulted in many reports of wind damage as well as some additional flooding and flash flooding. Moderate shear contributed to an EF-1 tornado touching down in Louisville near the Ford truck plant.
