Persistent clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms moved southeast across portions of western Kentucky. The storms first moved across the Ohio River into the Henderson and Owensboro areas early in the evening. The last of the severe storms exited the Pennyrile region of west Kentucky during the overnight hours. The storms initially formed over Illinois and Indiana along the residual outflow boundary left by an early morning thunderstorm complex. The atmosphere was very unstable during the late afternoon and early evening, when peak mixed-layer capes approached 4000 J/kg. Once the storms formed an organized cold pool, new thunderstorms developed on the western flank of the storm complex as an unstable southwest wind flow was lifted over the cold pool.
