| Episode Narrative | Thunderstorms intensified along and ahead of a cold front as it pushed south across the Lower Ohio Valley. A very unstable air mass fueled intense thunderstorm development during the late afternoon hours. The initial activity included storms that were discrete and supercellular in nature, with damaging winds and a couple of tornadoes. As storm coverage increased during the evening, the storms merged and evolved into a forward propagating mesoscale convective system across southern parts of western Kentucky. The slow southward movement of the storms resulted in very intense rainfall rates and local flooding. The storms were located within a very moist air mass, with precipitable water values from 1.5 to 1.8 inches. |
| Event Narrative | The tornado moved through a partially wooded area southeast of Sturgis along the Union/Webster County line. Several trees were snapped or uprooted. Peak winds were estimated near 110 mph. The tornado continued moving southeast into Webster County. |
