August Summary

This was a fairly typical Ohio Valley summer: heat, humidity, and occasional thunderstorms. Where there were instances of local flooding and tree damage from storms, fortunately there were no tornadoes. The most impactful weather event of the season was a squall line on July 11 that brought severe winds to southern Indiana and north central Kentucky, including a measured 59 mph gust at Jeffersonville, Indiana. The remnants of Hurricane Laura traveled the length of Kentucky on August 28 but had little effect other than an inch or two of rain and isolated tree damage.
