Overview

A strong and deepening low pressure system moved across the Midwest Thursday and Thursday night March 25, 2021.  As it did so it brought a warm front across Kentucky and Indiana during the daylight hours, with light to moderate rains. As we moved into the late afternoon and evening hours, strong winds above the surface helped to create an environment favoring spinning storms.  In some cases this spinning allowed for large hail to grow and in others, some damaging wind gusts as well as tornadoes developed across central Kentucky.
