The wider storm

Central Kentucky was located in the warm sector ahead of a surface low to the west, a west to east oriented warm front to the north, and a north to south oriented cold front to the southwest. Moderate instability and shear from strong southern flow took advantage of the added Gulf of Mexico moisture. This produced thunderstorms that caused isolated severe wind damage and flash flooding over the two day period.

Began near Winchester (38.0000, -84.1900).
