June 2020 was a pretty normal month. As a matter of fact, the average temperature for the month at Louisville's Bowman Field was exactly normal, which you don't see very often. Only two days had significant severe weather. The first was on the 10th when storms over the Blue Grass caused scattered wind damage. The other was on the 29th with tree damage widely scattered around central Kentucky.

The most significant event of the month was torrential rainfall that fell on parts of the area from the 27th to the 30th. Several waves of rainfall swept through the region, resulting in mostly minor flooding. However, on the 28th about half a foot of rain inundated Ohio County, leading to the declaration of a state of emergency and voluntary evacuations in Beaver Dam.
