| Episode Narrative |
A cold front moved through southern Indiana and central Kentucky on the morning of February 28. A strong low low level jet developed ahead of this front with winds of 60-80 knots at 2-3 thousand feet, resulting in very high speed shear and storm relative helicity values. A squall line with bowing segments developed to the west of the Louisville forecast area and crossed the region during the early to mid morning hours. This line produced multiple tornadoes across the region as well as straight line wind damage. |

An NWS storm survey confirmed a tornado which crossed the Ohio River from Clark county, IN to Jefferson county, KY. The tornado was rated an EF-0 in Indiana and an EF-1 in Kentucky. This tornado touched down in Clark County near Centennial Boulevard. Large hardwood trees were uprooted along the tornado's path towards Utica. A house on Middle Road had a tin roof blown off and thrown 200 yards. A couple of garage doors were dented in. Winds along this part of the tornado path were estimated to be 85 mph with a path width of 100 yards. |
