Wider weather episode

Surface high pressure was over the upper Mid-west while a cold front extended through central Indiana to southwest through Missouri. In the mid and upper levels, northwest flow prevailed over southern Indiana and central Kentucky. Ahead of the cold front, a line of storms began with the heating of the day. This line traveled south as it intensified, becoming a Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) which produced large severe hail in southern Indiana and hail and damaging winds in central Kentucky.
