Reported by: Public

Two trees were snapped by winds.
An extensive squall line crossed western Kentucky, producing strong to severe wind gusts along its path. Thunderstorms were organized into bowing line segments that moved rapidly east at 50 to 60 mph. The storms occurred along and ahead of a cold front that trailed south from a low pressure center near St. Louis. Isolated severe thunderstorm cells developed ahead of the quasi-linear convective system. Moderate instability existed ahead of the line of storms, with capes from 1500 to 2500 j/kg. Wind shear remained more than adequate for organization of the storms, with winds veering vertically in the lowest 3 km.
