Central Kentucky was sitting under an upper ridge in an area of high pressure. The air mass over Kentucky was moisture rich but contained little shear. This resulted in an environment conducive to disorganized severe weather, and that's what happened with the diurnal heating of the day. Outflow boundaries provided forcing to initiate further convection which resulted in tree damage and localized flooding issues throughout the area.
