Wider weather episode

Central Kentucky sat under the leading edge of an upper ridge during a period of typical summer weather. Temperatures rose during the day creating strong instability in the atmosphere that caused showers and thunderstorms to breakout. As rain filled downdrafts initiated outflow boundaries, the outflow boundaries initiated more storms. This happened daily before a weak cold front pushed drier air into the region. Several counties in central Kentucky received isolated wind damage during this three day stretch. Scott County had flooding issues on June 13th.
