What the National Weather Service wrote

KVKY reported a 34 knot thunderstorm wind gust.

The wider storm

Erosion aloft of a ridge of high pressure centered west of the region reduced subsidence and increased buoyancy. That increased lift combined with mid level drying created an environment conducive for supercell development.

Began near Main Pass 289 Awos (kvky) (29.2500, -88.4400).
