Wider weather episode

Like much of the severe weather in March, the 28th saw the same conditions with the Ohio Valley ahead of an upper trough with an embedded low system. During the day, warm moist air advanced north ahead of a later cold front. This set up provided the atmosphere with the energy to produce lightning and severe winds that caused damage throughout central Kentucky. There were a couple of reports of lightning striking buildings and trees with this system, but the details of damage are unknown.
