Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeStrong instability developed during the afternoon of the 21st to the south of a weak boundary sliding south across central Indiana. A shortwave moving across the western Great Lakes contributed to steep low level lapse rates and strong mid-level winds that supported several rounds of strong convection. During the early evening, a southeastward-moving bow echo brought widespread wind damage to the western Bluegrass Region. This initial round of storms produced an outflow boundary that moved west of Louisville and later proved a focus for additional severe storms during the early morning hours. These additional early morning storms were also supported by a strong low level southwesterly jet. During the early morning hours, a wet microburst developed near Radcliff. This microburst was the beginning of a long-lived bow echo that rapidly moved southeast and brought large hail and widespread wind damage across central Kentucky, including the towns of Elizabethtown, Hodgenville, and Campbellsville.
