The wider storm

Rich moisture return occurred this morning and afternoon ahead of a frontal boundary across the lower Ohio Valley. This along with an upper level disturbance led to widespread thunderstorms along and north of Mountain Parkway, with more isolated coverage farther south. Damaging winds were observed in the Bluegrass region and east of Beattyville, while isolated hail was also reported farther south.

Additional thunderstorms developed overnight into the 17th across the Lake Cumberland region, resulting in a few downed trees due to the saturated ground.
