The trailing edge of a Mesoscale Convective Complex across Indiana and Illinois interacted with a moist very unstable environment over central Kentucky. Isolated showers and thunderstorms developed into a broken line that slowly moved across the region.  Slow moving storms produced torrential rainfall and led to some isolated flash flooding.  Wet microbursts also produced wind damage scattered across the region.
