The episode as NWS LMK wrote it up.
Multiple rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms moved across Kentucky between July 6th and July 8th. The main focus for convection was areas along and just south of a quasi-stationary surface front, initially positioned from west to east across central Indiana on July 6th. Each afternoon, thunderstorms developed in the unstable airmass, gradually pushing south and east before dissipating quickly after loss of daytime heating. On July 6th, a broken line of strong-to-severe thunderstorms crossed the Ohio River from Indiana during the mid-afternoon hours. As the storms pushed across central Kentucky, downdraft CAPE of greater than 1200 J/kg helped damaging wind gusts reach the ground, and several wind damage reports were observed, mainly across north central Kentucky. On July 7th, lesser instability led to the development of garden-variety thunderstorms, with wind damage only being observed in a few of the strongest cells. Finally, on July 8th, clusters of strong and severe thunderstorms produced scattered wind damage across south central Kentucky, with flash flooding also being observed in Russell County due to repeated bursts of heavy rainfall.

.Forecast Update...
Issued at 1024 AM EDT Wed Jul 6 2022
Remnant convective outflow continues to sag southeast near the Ohio
River, while a somewhat sharper outflow boundary pushes southwest
through north-central KY. KY Mesonet obs and METARs reveal good low-
level convergence over the Bluegrass Region, where weak scattered
convection is already ongoing. The remnant outflow near the Ohio
River also has a somewhat narrow cirrus shield spreading southeast,
and this feature is producing a mesoscale temperature gradient. All
of these various boundaries, and their intersections, will be
possible triggers for new convection over the next 3 hours.
Convection will be mainly isolated to widely scattered in nature.
South of the cirrus shield, strong heating is taking place and RAP
forecasts do suggest an instability gradient will set up from SW to
NE over southern and central KY. Finally, there is weak convection
ongoing along the slow-moving cold front across central IL/IN. This
activity appears set to move southeast throughout the day and may
help force new convection over southern Indiana and central Kentucky
late this afternoon and evening. Storms will again be somewhat
disorganized given weak shear, but cold pool propagation could
locally organize storm clusters and result in a briefly higher
severe wind threat.

.Short Term...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 330 AM EDT Wed Jul 6 2022
Hot, Humid, and Potentially Stormy Again Today...
Another tricky forecast today from both a heat/humidity and storm
potential perspective. Things are currently quiet across the CWA,
however we are monitoring a couple of upstream MCS complexes. The
lead complex over OH is quickly diving SE and away from our CWA, but
will be watching to see if any convectively reinforced outflow
pushes westward from this into our eastern CWA. The second complex
has weakened considerably over IL, however outflow from this feature
will steadily push toward our area over the next 6 to 9 hours,
possibly even slower as it loses momentum. Even though hi-res CAMs
aren't handling the current convection well, there is reasonable
confidence that it will take a while to get convection going today
due to the lack of a trigger. The convective outflow is the most
likely candidate, and the ultimate question is how long it will take
to get here?
1000-850 mb thicknesses would again support temps at or just above
what we saw yesterday, so will be going with numbers similar to
that. In addition, still expecting low to mid 70s dew points, so
pretty much have our entire CWA at or above Heat Advisory Criteria.
Also have a good chunk of our CWA along and west of I-65, and then
over toward Frankfort supportive of Excessive Heat Warning criteria,
but with bigger bust potential if convection and/or convective
debris spoil the temps. Will likely lift both headlines as mentioned
in coordination with other offices, but with the disclaimer that
there is bust potential.
As far as the storm and severe threat go, it will be another round
of low confidence potential. Will likely have to rely on the
boundaries from upstream convection for weak triggering, so coverage
may not be all that high. We will once again by strongly unstable
with ML CAPE values likely between 2000-3000 J/KG, however deep
layer shear continues to be lacking and would only support pulse
type storm modes outside of any organized cold pool driven clusters
from upstream. Mid level lapse rates also continue to be marginally
weak, and with the lack of stronger forcing this will also be a
limiting factor. Nevertheless, any stronger updrafts that do get
going will have the potential for locally damaging winds given the
large T/Td spread at the surface (inverted V on soundings), and the
resulting elevated DCAPE values. Locally heavy rainfall would be the
other concerns due to slow storm movement and a moist atmospheric
column. Hail is less of a concern due to freezing levels about 16
thousand feet.
.Long Term...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 320 AM EDT Wed Jul 6 2022
Hot and humid conditions continue into the long term period as
strong mid level ridging lingers over the Southeast. 1000-850mb
thicknesses indicate sfc temps could warm again into the upper 90s
for portions of the region, except for the Bluegrass which may top
out in the low 90s due to more cloud coverage. The east-west
oriented quasi-stationary boundary will be located somewhere just
north of the Ohio River, resulting in moisture pooling along and
south of the boundary. Though southerly sfc flow will be weak, it's
possible to see PWAts rise above 2 inches (among max moving avg in
sounding climo from BNA and ILN), and dewpoints in the mid to upper
70s. Combined with temps in the upper 90s, it's possible to have
heat index values in the neighborhood of 100-105F.
Besides the heat, there is a slight risk for severe storms during
the Thursday afternoon and evening hours. Ongoing morning convection
is expected to restrengthen as strong diurnal heating results in
moderate to very unstable conditions by the afternoon, along with
steep low level lapse rates. However, modest west-northwest flow
through much of the sounding profiles will inhibit deep layer shear,
thus supporting pulse-like clusters of scattered storms. Given the
amount of instability possible Thursday afternoon, a few storms may
still become severe without much shear, capable of producing locally
damaging winds as storms collapse on themselves. Additionally, any
outflow boundaries will act as triggers for new convection to fire
up in the unstable and high-PW airmass. General storm motions on
Thursday will be to the southeast. Convection and convective debris
should provide some relief from the heat, which could prevent some
localized areas from reaching advisory criteria Thu afternoon.
By Friday, the stationary boundary will be pushed southward through
our region as a Canadian high sets up over the Great lakes region.
Best precip chances of the week will be late Friday and into
Saturday morning as we finally get better forcing within a high CAPE
and high PW airmass. QPF guidance supports widespread rainfall
Friday evening and overnight, which should be very beneficial to the
moderate drought conditions that most of our region is experiencing.
Given the frontal passage, convective debris, and increased cloud
cover, max temps will vary quite a bit from north to south for
Friday. Southern IN counties could stay in the upper 80s or near 90,
and well into the mid-90s across our far south-central KY counties.
As the front continues to slide southward, the Great Lakes high
pressure will build further south into the Ohio Valley. Drier
conditions are expected Saturday evening and into Sunday, with temps
likely being limited to the 80s for the weekend. We look to start
off next week dry, but precip chances could return by Tuesday
afternoon as another frontal boundary approaches.

.Aviation...(18Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 145 PM EDT Wed Jul 6 2022
In the near-term, SCT convection appears likely to move southeast
across south-central Indiana and into portions of north-central KY.
LEX has the best chance at seeing TSRA this afternoon and evening.
Weakly forced SCT storms are also ongoing over southern KY, but
mainly south and east of BWG.
Sfc winds begin the period out of the southwest, but will veer NW
this evening behind the SCT convection moving in from the northwest.
Winds then go light and variable overnight with precip coverage at a
minimum after 06z.
