The wider storm

On the 14th, a cold front worked its way south through central Kentucky to Tennessee, but by the 16th, the slow moving front was on its way back north as a warm front. Even though the threat of severe weather was low, the moist environment produced isolated flash flooding in two central Kentucky counties.

Began near Carlisle (38.3200, -84.0500).
