A surface low pressure center between St. Louis, MO and Quincy, IL tracked east-northeastward during the afternoon. A warm front extended east-southeast from the low into the lower Ohio Valley. Behind the warm front, strong southwest winds gusted between 40 and 50 mph at times. Scattered thunderstorms increased during the afternoon as solar heating destabilized the atmosphere. Along the warm front, the strongest storm produced hail up to dime-size. Some of the peak wind gusts outside of thunderstorms included 48 mph at Owensboro, 44 mph at Hopkinsville and Paducah, and and 43 mph at Murray.
