An anomalously strong mid- and upper-level trough for late June moved across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley from the afternoon hours on June 25th through the morning hours on June 26th. A 60-70 kt 500 mb jet bisected the mid-Mississippi Valley, placing central Kentucky and southern Indiana in the left exit region, contributing to broad rising motion over the area. Near the surface, a well-defined cold front crossed the Mississippi River during the mid-to-late afternoon hours on June 25th, with temperatures in the upper 80s and lower 90s and dewpoints in the upper 60s and lower 70s in the warm sector ahead of the front. In the warm sector, mixed-layer CAPE of 2500-3500 J/kg provided plenty of fuel for convective development aside from the aforementioned favorable jet forcing. With 25-35 knots of flow at 850 mb, there was also ample vertical wind shear across the region, with effective bulk shear values generally above 45 kt, leading to the development of supercellular structures. The parameter space was favorable for all severe hazards. 0-1 km storm-relative helicity was over 200 m2/s2 and significant tornado parameter values were frequently greater than 1, suggesting the potential for rotating mesocyclones and tornadoes. Downdraft CAPE was over 1200 J/kg along and west of Interstate 65, suggesting the potential for strong winds from any formidable downdrafts. Finally, sufficient mid-level lapse rates and significant hail parameter values warranted concerns for severe hail. As would be expected given the parameter space, all severe hazards were observed, with a couple tornadoes and numerous straight-line wind and hail reports across southern Indiana and central Kentucky. Straight-line winds of up to 100 mph and multiple reports of golf ball or larger size hail serve as evidence of the highly unusual setup across the Ohio and Tennessee valleys June 25th and 26th.

Location: JAMESTOWN
Tornado F-scale: EF1
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A tornado touched down just east of US 127, north of Woolen Mill Road, in an area of mostly open fields with patches of trees along fence rows. Damage could be seen in the tree tops lowering until reaching the ground. The tornado moved eastward towards
West Cumberland Avenue in western Jamestown. While plowing through clusters of trees, tree damage was highly focused with many mature healthy trees being snapped. As the tornado approached a set of apartment buildings on the 1100 block of West Cumberland Avenue, views from an aerial drone showed heavy tree damage with trees falling in several directions. A roof from one of the buildings blew off to a southwest direction. A large window from across the street at the auto museum got sucked out and ended up in the roadway. To the north, large sections of the roof at Jamestown Auto Sales got peeled back from the northwest to the southeast.
The main tornado track continued east while a small suction vortex fed into the main rotation near Telephone Drive. Along Telephone Drive, a large tree was uprooted and fell to the southeast while two well built buildings had their gable porch roofs blown to the north. One remained attached to the roof while the other was blown to the northeast over the building, coming to rest behind C&W Auto Parts which had its own
southeast facing window blown out. All three of these buildings had mud splattered on their southeast facing exterior wall.
Farther east in the main tornado track, the tornado damaged a large area of the Carpet Center's roof. Just to the south, a single family home had half of its roof blown off. To the north and east of the Carpet Center, the strongest damage was done at a residence. A garage made out of cinder blocks was completely leveled by 110 mph winds on two sides while the other two sides saw nothing remain above the windows. Every tree in the area was severely damaged. Multiple trees fell on the house and the
owners vehicles. A limb of a tree punched through the wall and was in the house. Multiple large trees continued to get uprooted as the tornado traveled eastward before lifting near Brown Road.

The National Weather Service in Louisville conducted a storm survey for the macroburst damage extending from western Grayson County, through Edmonson County, before ending in northeastern Warren County. The first area of concentrated damage was observed along US Highway 62 around Caneyville, which consisted mostly of softwood and hardwood tree damage, including numerous uprooted trees and large snapped branches. One double wide trailer suffered considerable roof damage in along Highway 62, though structural damage was otherwise rare in this area. Estimated winds across western Grayson County were generally between 80 and 90 mph. Sporadic tree damage was also observed along Kentucky Route 259 between Leitchfield and the Edmonson County line.
All tree and structural damage was blown to the southeast along the path. This damage pattern is consistent with downburst winds, with the large scale of damage suggesting a macroburst event.

Location: GAP IN KNOB
Magnitude: 83.00 EG
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A line of thunderstorms dropping south from the Louisville area caused an area of strong wind gusts that brought down  several trees across the Shepherdsville area. The most notable cluster of damage occurred just south of Floyds Fork, along Gibraltar Dr,
where multiple trees in a heavily wooded area were uprooted or snapped. One set of trees fell onto a home, causing roof damage to an in-ground home. A drive east to west along Hwy 44 in that region noted several trees downed by these straight lined winds, likely peaking in the 90-100 mph range. The time for this damage is based on eye-witness accounts matching up with radar, as there were multiple storms that crossed this area that evening.

The National Weather Service in Louisville conducted a storm survey for the macroburst damage extending from western Grayson County, through Edmonson County, before ending in northeastern Warren County.
Scattered tree damage continued through northern and central Edmonson County, with estimated wind speeds generally between 80 and 90 mph. Tree damage increased in intensity as the survey continued into southern Edmonson County, with a high density of fallen trees observed along Sulphur Road and Otter Gap Road. Wind speeds in this area were estimated between 85 and 90 mph. In the vicinity of the Edmonson/Warren County line, higher intensity  damage was observed, with numerous trees down along Otter Gap Road and Aubrey Mills Road atop The Knobs. A barn at the end of Aubrey Mills Road suffered severe damage, with winds estimated at 95 mph at the barn.
All tree and structural damage was blown to the southeast along the path. This damage pattern is consistent with downburst winds, with the large scale of damage suggesting a macroburst event.

Tornado in HARDIN, KENTUCKY
From 25-JUN-23 21:27:00 to 25-JUN-23 21:32:00 (EST-5)
Location: FRANKLIN XRDS
Tornado F-scale: EF2
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A narrow, but powerful, EF-2 tornado developed quickly in the Cecilia area late Sunday evening, as a cluster of thunderstorms briefly interacted with an east-west oriented outflow boundary from earlier storm activity.  The storm first caused tree damage along Long Grove Rd near Tabb Rd. A property near this intersection had several trees uprooted and snapped as well as limbs down. On the south side of Tabb Rd. roofing material from the northern side landed on that property. An RV that had been along a row of trees south of Tabb Rd was forced onto its side as well.
The tornado continued southeast across cropland. Drone footage indicated a nice swath of damage in the corn. The tornado then affected two homes on the end of Basham Lane.  The first house had a carport thrown to the right of the track into an open field. An AC unit was flipped on its side at the house and a brick facade wall came off the house structure. Farther southeast, the strongest winds occurred as the tornado pulled up the wide front porch of a house and then peeled the roof back. Parts of the roof landed upstream of where the tornado caused the damage.  A gazebo behind the house was thrown in a counter clockwise fashion back to the other side of the house. Two parked trucks were shifted from their location as well.  Damage continued in the corn field southeast of property, with drone footage indicating some jagged movement of the tornado on the ground.
It continued just past another row of trees where it impacted a barn before the tornado lifted.
The survey drove to several other sites across the county...along Black Branch, Hayden School, Rineyville, and Locust Grove roads. The rest of the damage had trees falling generally toward the south, in line with straight lined winds on the order of 80-90 mph.

Location: JAMESTOWN
Magnitude: 87.00 EG
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A very pronounced bowing segment cut southeast across Russell County during the early morning hours on Monday. This area of surging wind caused widespread tree damage in the Jamestown area.
The survey team focused on areas with the heaviest damage which were all south of Jamestown. The first area of considerable damage was at Jamestown Boat Storage on the west side of State Road 92. One of their large multi bay buildings had 5 southwest
facing oversized garage doors damaged. This allowed wind to get into the structure causing parts of the roof to collapse and other parts to blow off. The southeast wall sheet metal was also blown out. Half of the roof was completely gone over 9 bays, and
on the northeast side of the building the whole roof was down over 5 bays. Another storage building, to the southeast, on the same property had a few damaged garage doors and a small area of roof damage above the doors.
Less than a mile farther south on State Road 92, Stripers Boat Storage had 4 northwest facing garage doors blown in and damaged. Wind that made it into the building blew out 2 southeast facing doors. On the southwest side of the building, there were a couple snapped and uprooted mature trees facing to the southeast. Across the road on Lily Creek Ramp Road, Cumberland Boat Storage had at least 9 bays of their western most building completely destroyed. Wind blew in the doors on the northwest side of the building before blowing off the roof structure and walls. Nothing was left standing on the southwest side of the building.
A little farther south, a concentrated area of tree damage stretched along a southwest to northeast axis which was along  area ridge tops. Along these ridges many roads including Oak Road, Carriage Lane, Pumpkin Creek Road, Harbor Springs and a few
others there were hundreds of large mature trees that were snapped and uprooted, many of which brought down area power lines and poles. Many trees fell on houses causing major damage. A few houses on Pumpkin Creek Road were completely destroyed due to multiple trees falling on them. All the downed trees in the area
fell to the southeast. No definitive convergence was observed.
The last of the damage was observed just under a mile farther south on Harbor Springs Road. Large uprooted trees were a common sight. This brought down power lines and poles, but the damage wasn't nearly as concentrated as that along Pumpkin Creek Road.

Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

The National Weather Service in Louisville conducted a storm survey for the macroburst damage extending from western Grayson County, through Edmonson County, before ending in northeastern Warren County.
As the survey continued into northeastern Warren County, multiple barns suffered damage along Louisville Road (US Highway 31W), resulting in wind speed estimates between 85 and 95 mph. Additionally, in this area, scattered tree damage continued to be observed. Another pocket of heavily concentrated damage was noted in the Smiths Grove, Oakland, and Plum Springs communities, resulting in minor structural damage and numerous trees down. The most severe tree damage along the whole path of the macroburst was observed in Smiths Grove, where multiple large trees were snapped near their bases. Maximum wind speeds in Smiths Grove were estimated at 100 mph, with wind speeds elsewhere in northeastern Warren County estimated between 85 and 95 mph. While isolated damage continued farther to the south and west, the area between Plum Springs and Smiths Grove served as the end of the path of heavy damage.
All tree and structural damage was blown to the southeast along the path. This damage pattern is consistent with downburst winds, with the large scale of damage suggesting a macroburst event.

Location: RICHMOND
Magnitude: 96.00 EG
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

The National Weather Service conducted a storm survey for the macroburst damage received near Richmond in Madison county, Kentucky. Damage was first observed along US Highway 25 where some isolated tree snaps occurred. Plenty of tree damage continued to Hunter Lane and extensive property damage occurred to a home where roof damage and damage to outbuildings occurred.
The storm continued along Four Mile Road where damage to a barn roof occurred with more trees uprooted and snapped. Damage continued to become more sporadic along Greens Crossing Road where lots of tree damage and barn outbuildings had roof damage. Richmond Speedway also received roof damage to the restrooms and grandstand seating. The most concentrated damage occurred along Forest and Kennedy Lanes where several residents received damage with very extensive tree damage, including a mixture of uprooted and snapped hardwood trees. Several barn outbuildings also received considerable roof damage. Observable damage continued with trees down along Whitt Road and Speedwell Road and some barn roof damage. Barn outbuildings and tree damage continued toward Brassfield Road before the main extensive damage ended. A majority of the damage was observed in a southerly direction, although some damage varied between the easterly and southwesterly directions. This damage pattern coincides with a macroburst style severe straight line wind downburst from the parent thunderstorm that moved across Madison County. Damage was widespread and appeared to even fan out in many areas, which is also consistent with a straight line wind event. Most damage was consistently in the 90-100 mph range with a max wind speed of 110 in some locations.
