Plenty of sunshine through the early afternoon of June 5th allowed for heating of the atmosphere. This heating caused unstable conditions to develop across Eastern Kentucky. A cold front approached the area from the lower Great Lakes region during the afternoon hours. The instability, combined with the cold front, created numerous thunderstorms across Kentucky. Some of these storms were severe, producing large hail, up to half dollar size, and damaging winds.
