Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA deep closed low near Hudson's Bay on October 7th brought cyclonic flow to the Lower Ohio Valley. Disturbances rotating around this feature brought several rounds of convection from late morning through the evening hours. Low freezing levels and veering and strengthening winds with height provided the ingredients for rotating storms and very large hail. During the late morning hours, a severe convective line segment exhibiting areas of rotation moved southeast across southern Indiana, crossed the Ohio River just north of Louisville, and moved across the northern Bluegrass Region north of Frankfort and Lexington. This fast moving line of storms brought widespread wind damage and large hail to Clark County, Indiana and along its path across the northern Bluegrass. Rotation increased within this storm complex when it was north of Lexington, when it spawned a family of relatively weak tornadoes. This initial round of storms left behind a stationary boundary. By mid afternoon, a whole series of rotating supercells developed along this boundary, each of then tracking essentially along the same path from southern Indiana into Oldham County and across the northern Bluegrass. These individual storms each produced large hail and occasional funnel clouds.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThe Oldham County Dispatch received several reports of rotation and funnel clouds associated with the first of two supercell storms that tracked across the county around one hour apart. Golf ball sized hail accompanied this first supercell.
