Flash Flood July 3, 2019 · Bourbon County, Kentucky

Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

What the National Weather Service wrote

Parts of State Road 627 were closed due to high flowing water.

The wider storm

Central Kentucky was sitting under an upper ridge in an area of high pressure. The air mass over Kentucky was moisture rich but contained little shear. This resulted in an environment conducive to disorganized severe weather, and that's what happened with the diurnal heating of the day. Outflow boundaries provided forcing to initiate further convection which resulted in tree damage and localized flooding issues throughout the area.

Began near Escondida (38.1331, -84.2078).
