A large slow moving area of low pressure located over the northern plains and a large subtropical ridge of high pressure situated off the southeastern U.S. produced a steady flow of warm moist air off the Gulf of Mexico and convergence over central and eastern Kentucky on June 9th. As a result, scattered strong to severe thunderstorms formed and moved from south to north across eastern Kentucky during the afternoon and evening.  One storm in particular produced sporadic wind damage and large hail in a track from near Beattyville in Lee County, then across Wolfe, Magoffin and Johnson Counties.  Significant straight-line wind damage occurred from this storm in the Wheelersburg community of Magoffin County.  The storm then went on to produce a short-lived tornado on the Johnson/Lawrence County line.
