What the National Weather Service wrote
Water flowed over Miller Road near Highway 90.
The wider storm
A moist and unstable air mass sat over the Ohio River Valley. CAPE values exceeded 3000 J/kg, but shear was weak. This provided an environment for pulse type thunderstorms. As the heat of the day began to build, it became enough to kickoff area thunderstorms. Thunderstorms across Kentucky caused several trees to fall, severe hail, and heavy rainfall which caused several locations to flood.
Over the flowing couple of days, moist air moved north from the Gulf of Mexico. Instability was enough to produce heavy rainfall, but not enough for widespread severe weather. Flooding was the result.
Began near Snow (36.7503, -85.1249).
