The wider storm

Kentucky sat under the front of an upper ridge as a surface low advanced toward the state. This low anchored a warm front to the east and cold front to the west and caused thunderstorms to breakout across central Kentucky as the system moved through the area. The storms produced wind and hail damage across the region.

Began near Shakertown (37.8163, -84.7398).
