The combination of the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Cindy and a late June cold front brought widespread showers and thunderstorms to much of eastern Kentucky this evening. A plethora of moisture in place due to the northward track of Cindy brought hefty rainfall amounts to the Bluegrass region and into portions of east central Kentucky. The highest recorded rainfall amount across eastern Kentucky came from Sharkey, where 3.59 inches fell. Amounts of 1 to 3 inches were common near and north of Mountain Parkway. A few water rescues took place through the evening. Two of these involved residences becoming surrounded by water in Elliott County on Kentucky Highway 1620, while the other occurred near Bethel in Bath County where a vehicle became trapped by flood waters.
Additionally, a period of severe winds and associated tree damage occurred across east central Kentucky, generally within vicinity of Mountain Parkway. These wind gusts were associated with a more unstable airmass that developed farther south ahead of the cold front. Just prior to midnight, Kentucky Power reported nearly 7,500 customers without power.
