With a high pressure center sitting east of the state, Kentucky, along with much of the Deep South found themselves in a strong return flow pattern. This consisted of S to SW winds which were able to pump in ample moisture and warm air from the Gulf of Mexico. However, with no boundaries or airmass changes nearby, the flow aloft was not very strong. High moisture and weak flow materialized into slow moving showers and thunderstorms throughout the day on Saturday. As locations saw rain persist throughout the day, isolated instances of flooding and flash flooding were reported across portions of Rockcastle, Powell, Laurel, Jackson, and Estill Counties.
