The wider storm

A low pressure system approached central Kentucky from the west with a warm front extending to the east and a cold front to the south. Early in the day as the warm front moved north through central Kentucky, the lift provided by the front caused widespread heavy rainfall in areas that were already saturated from previous rains. Flash flooding was the result across several counties in central Kentucky. The rain came to an end as the cold front moved west to east through the area.

Began near Rineltown (37.6884, -85.1411).
