Before yesterdays storms, the biggest uncertainty was instability. Models were not in an agreement with how much clearing there would be after that mornings showers and embedded storms. By 4:00 pm EDT in the afternoon, there was modest clearing with sunshine. At that time we knew we had to focus our attention to the developing squall line to our west that had active tornado warnings.
A report of baseball sized hail come out of Radcliff, Ky. There was a large and ominous looking shelf cloud leading the heavy rain and damaging winds. Tornado & Severe Thunderstorm warnings were put out ahead of the storms as we all knew the spin ups would be quick.
Here is where damage has been reported. The NWS will be conducting surveys Today and have a preliminary rating of an EF 1 that touched town in Jefferson County, KY.
Some of these tracks could be straight lined winds, but we will wait for the NWS to determine.
Below is my gallery of the storm from my perspective.
