A warm front was parked across western Kentucky during the early morning hours on Sunday June 11th. This slowly transitioned eastward through the first part of the day as an area of low pressure tracked along the Ohio River. By late afternoon and evening, the warm front was through eastern Kentucky, putting us in a more unstable pattern, especially with a quickly approaching cold front and a low pressure system so close by. Multiple Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Warnings were issued between 4pm and 9pm across eastern Kentucky, with widespread reports of damaging winds and large hail from some of the storms that developed. The strongest storm impacted Pulaski county, resulting in baseball size hail between Nancy and Somerset, and widespread straight-line winds in the communities of Faubush and Nancy. Activity finally settled down as we headed into the overnight an lost the best instability, though the cold front didn't move through until the wee hours of the morning on the 12th.
