The wider storm
Between June 17-19, the Ohio Valley sat in a warm moist environment with a stationary front draped from northeast to southwest across Indiana and on through Texas. Little wind shear existed above central Kentucky. This provided several days where diurnal heating and shortwave forcing kicked off pulse storms with high rainfall rates. After a few days of this, the ground became more saturated and flooding became easier with each event.
On June 17th in Spencer County, A 40 year old man was traveling across a low water cross while the water level was elevated due to recent rainfall. The vehicle and the occupants were pushed into the creek. A woman and two children made it to safety, but the victim was found later downstream.
Began near Hisle (38.6446, -85.3245).
