Kentucky was experiencing warm and moist SW flow heading through the day on July 5, while flow in the mid and upper levels was more westerly. While no forcing mechanism was in place across the state )as far as low pressure center, shortwave, or frontal boundary) and the better severe weather concerns were concentrated well to our NW, the low level wind sheer and decent Cape values were enough to create good boyancy and spawn showers and thunderstorms throughout the afternoon and evening. The main concern with these storms was strong winds being transferred down to the surface, which did result in multiple instances of downed trees. Heavy rain that impacted Clay County and Montgomery County also lead to a swift water rescue and isolated instances of flash flooding.
