| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The third round of storms in about 24 hours complicated cleanup efforts in western Kentucky from the previous two rounds. Widespread damaging winds on the 6th were followed by flash flooding on the night of the 6th. Although thunderstorm wind damage on the 7th was not as widespread in southwest Kentucky as on the 6th, there were pockets of winds up to 70 mph. A line of thunderstorms moved east-southeast across the Ohio River early in the afternoon, and then merged with a developing cluster of storms over the Pennyrile region of west Kentucky. The line of storms moved into a moist and very unstable environment. Mixed-layer capes around 4000 j/kg and surface dew points in the lower to mid 70's were supportive of strong convective updrafts. The line of storms intensified ahead of a 500 mb shortwave trough over the mid and upper Mississippi Valley. A west to southwest flow of very moist air at 850 mb averaged from 20 to 30 knots. Wind damage was the primary type of severe weather with the storms. |
