The wider storm

During this period, upper high pressure remained over the southern United States. At the surface, a couple of cold fronts, riding along upper flow, passed from west to east near the Ohio River. These fronts, along with outflow boundaries from previous storms, helped thunderstorms in central Kentucky to form, which resulted in wind damage and some isolated flooding.

Began near Head Quarters (38.3628, -84.1240).
