| Episode Narrative | A surface cold front extended from the Chicago area southwestward across the eastern fringes of the St. Louis metro area to a weak low pressure center over southeast Missouri. The low ejected northeast across southern and eastern Illinois, with the trailing cold front moving east across the Lower Ohio Valley. A broken cluster of severe thunderstorms, with embedded supercells and small bow echoes, moved east-northeastward across western Kentucky. Increasing south-southwesterly low level winds brought plenty of moisture northward into the Lower Ohio Valley, aiding in sufficient destabilization for supercells. The two primary supercells of the night followed similar paths across southern parts of the Purchase area, the Lakes region, and the southern Pennyrile region. Heavy rainfall with the storms, in combination with saturated ground from the May 1 storms, produced localized flash flooding. |
| Event Narrative | Kentucky Highway 189 was closed in the Apex area due to a landslide. Other roads in the Apex area were threatened by high water. Elsewhere in the county, a good number of roads were closed or barricaded. Water was over U.S. Highway 41, as well as Kentucky Highways 109, 115, and 345. Many secondary roads were under water. Many creeks were out of their banks, and lowlands were under water. |
