Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
Storms developed in a deep south to southwest wind flow of warm and moist air on the back side of high pressure over the Southeast U.S. coast.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
1052 AM CDT MON JUN 24 2013
.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
ISSUED AT 1052 CDT MON JUN 24 2013
IR AND VISIBILE SATELLITE...AS WELL AS KVWX RADAR IMAGERY SUGGEST
A SMALL MESOSCALE VORTEX/SMALL SCALE TROUGH OVER SOUTHWEST INDIANA
NEAR KEVV BETWEEN 14Z-15Z. THIS FEATURE SHOULD ENGAGE ENOUGH LIFT
TO SUPPORT LOCALIZED UPDRAFTS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SMALL HAIL
/POSSIBLY UP TO NICKLE SIZE/ ALONG AND TO THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST
OF THE VORTEX...LEADING INTO THE REMAINDER OF SOUTHWEST INDIANA
AND THE PENNYRILE REGION OF WEST KENTUCKY THIS MORNING.
ALSO...GIVEN THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THIS FEATURE /LESS THAN 12
KNOTS/...AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND TWO INCHES...WOULD
NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE MINIMUM HOURLY RAINFALL VALUES BETWEEN
0.80 AND 1.10 INCHES IN THE HEAVIER RAINFALL CORES. WITH THIS IN
MIND...ADDED A MENTION OF SMALL HAIL/HEAVY RAIN TO THE HIGHEST POP
CATEGORY AREA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING AND INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON MAINLY FOR HEAVY RAIN.
FURTHER TO THE WEST...THETA-E CONVERGENCE OVER SOUTHEAST MO SHOULD
CONTINUE TO EVOLVE IN THE WEEK CONVERGENT FLOW...JUST EAST OF THE
SOUTHEAST MO FOOTHILLS. SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN
HIGH...SO ANTICIPATE SOME ISOLATED DEVELOPMENT DURING THE
AFTERNOON OVER THE SOUTHEAST MISSOURI FOOTHILL INTO SOUTHWEST
ILLINOIS...MAINLY WEST OF INTERSTATE 57.
AM ALSO CONCERNED WITH DIFFERENTIAL HEATING AND AN INSTABILITY
GRADIENT WEST OF THE CURRENT CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON...WITH WEAK
SURFACE CONVERGENCE LEADING TO AT LEAST SOME RENEWED...BUT BRIEF
DEVELOPMENT FROM THE LAND BETWEEN THE LAKES NORTHWARD TO THE
CONFLUENCE OF THE OHIO/WABASH RIVER...WEST OF THE CURRENT
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY THIS MORNING. THE 3KM HRRR AND 4KM NAM-WRF
/NMM VERSION/ SEEM TO PICK UP ON THESE FEATURES AND SO TRIED TO
ADJUST ACCORDINGLY.
AN URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE POSTED FOR
THOSE COUNTIES ALONG AND EITHER SIDE OF THE MCV THIS MORNING AND
INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON TO ACCOUNT FOR THE EFFICIENT RAINFALL
WITH THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORM CORES.

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 643 AM CDT MON JUN 24 2013
UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION FOR 12Z TAFS.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 354 AM CDT MON JUN 24 2013
WEAK FLOW PATTERN WILL PERSIST ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN U.S. THROUGH MID WEEK. AS A RESULT...MUCH OF THE LOCAL
WEATHER PATTERN WILL BE DRIVEN BY MESOSCALE INFLUENCES TYPICALLY
NOT HANDLED WELL BY OPERATIONAL MODELS. THE MAIN INFLUENCE TODAY
APPEARS TO BE AN MCV CURRENTLY DRIVING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY OVER
SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS AND SOUTHWEST INDIANA. THE LATEST NAM AND HRW-
WRF RUNS APPEAR TO HAVE THE BEST HANDLE ON THIS FEATURE. FOLLOWING
THIS GUIDANCE...THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TODAY APPEARS TO BE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA...ESPECIALLY
SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS...SOUTHWEST INDIANA...AND THE PENNYRILE REGION
OF WESTERN KENTUCKY...AS THE MCV SLOWLY WORKS ITS WAY EAST ACROSS
THE AREA. WILL MAINTAIN THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED MAINLY
DIURNALLY DRIVEN STORMS ELSEWHERE.
MOST MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT THE CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD DROP OFF CONSIDERABLY TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WITH
NO SUBSTANTIAL FOCUSING MECHANISM. BETTER CHANCES FOR ISOLATED
ACTIVITY SHOULD BE CONFINED TO EASTERN AREAS AGAIN ON TUESDAY. IT
WILL REMAIN VERY WARM AND HUMID THROUGH THE NEAR TERM...WITH LOWS
IN THE LOWER 70S AND HIGHS IN THE LOWER 90S.
.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 354 AM CDT MON JUN 24 2013
THE MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE WHAT HAS BEEN FORECAST FOR A FEW
DAYS NOW. A SIGNIFICANT MID LEVEL HIGH CENTER OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN
WEST WILL BECOME ESTABLISHED...WHILE A TROF OVER THE NE/ERN U.S.
MORPHS INTO A CLOSED LOW FEATURE AROUND THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY
THE WEEKEND ENHANCING THE TROF ALL THE WAY TO THE GULF COAST. THIS
WILL PLACE US IN AN UNSETTLED NW FLOW REGIME ALOFT WITH A SOMEWHAT
ILL DEFINED SURFACE PRESSURE PATTERN...THAT SHOULD CONTAIN MORE THAN
ONE SUBTLE WIND SHIFT UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT WHEN THE FINAL ONE SHOULD
MOVE THROUGH ONCE THE TROF DEEPENS ENOUGH. PRECIP CHANCES NOT REAL
CLEAR CUT IN THIS FLOW PATTERN. HARD TO RULE OUT GIVEN THE TIME OF
YEAR AND UNSETTLED NATURE TO THE FLOW. GIVEN TIMING ISSUES AND MODEL
VARIANCE WHICH IS YIELDING LOW CONFIDENCE...WILL KEEP POPS IN CHECK
AND LOW FOR NOW. THERE IS STILL SOME PERSISTENCE WITH RESPECT TO
LATE WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...IN THAT THERE MAY BE A
CONVECTIVE SYSTEM THAT WILL AFFECT THE AREA. TEMPS ARE A BLEND OF
ECMWF LONG RANGE MOS / GFS MOS AND HPC GUIDANCE.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED AT 643 AM CDT MON JUN 24 2013
A MESOSCALE VORTEX WILL CONTINUE TO TOUCH OFF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AT KEVV AND KOWB THROUGH MID MORNING...WITH
DRY CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE. ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
MAY DEVELOP IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE...BUT LOW
CONFIDENCE PRECLUDES MENTION IN TAFS AT THIS POINT. VFR CONDITIONS
WILL OTHERWISE PREVAIL. EXPECT SOUTHERLY WINDS AOB 10 KNOTS.

The Madisonville city fire department evacuated or rescued numerous drivers from flooded vehicles at a mall parking lot. Police officers in boats checked businesses and vehicles in the mall area, which is on the east side of the city along Interstate 69. Water was over the hood of at least one vehicle. At least five homes were flooded in a residential area along a flooded ditch on the southeast side of town. Police officers went door-to-door contacting and evacuating affected residents, and a water rescue was in progress. Boats were requested to get to stranded motorists. The strong currents carried a car to deeper water. Highway 70 was flooded and closed from downtown Madisonville to the mall entrance on the east side of town. Cars were stranded on Highway 70. Four to six inches of running water covered Highway 70 on the southwest side of Madisonville. The road was not passable. In Mortons Gap, six inches of water was over one lane of U.S. Highway 41. Water approached houses on Highway 813 in Mortons Gap. The Interstate 69 on-and-off ramps at exit 37 were flooded near Mortons Gap. In Madisonville, a section of U.S. Highway 41 was closed. Areas between Kentucky Highways 254 and 281 were flooded on the east side of Madisonville, including a subdivision. Boats were dispatched to get stranded people out of vehicles and houses. A water rescue was conducted in a mobile home park. The Kentucky mesonet site four miles south of Madisonville measured 5.92 inches of rain.
