Overview
Supercell thunderstorms developed along a west to east oriented boundary early this afternoon near the Ohio River, congealing into a broken line as they pushed south into eastern Kentucky throughout the afternoon. Several instances of wind damage and hail were observed along with a couple of funnel cloud reports in Rowan County. A strong cold front sparked a second line of showers and thunderstorms that pushed east of Interstate 75 and into eastern Kentucky during the late evening hours of April 8th. These continued to move through the coalfields through the early morning hours of the 9th, producing numerous reports of wind damage. The most extensive of this was found in portions of Fleming County, as well as near Brodhead in Rockcastle County. |
