Overview

Hot and humid conditions developed during the afternoon on June 25th ahead of a dryline moving southeast across Illinois and Missouri. This provided fuel for thunderstorms, which developed by mid afternoon across the Wabash River Valley and tracked into southwest Indiana and northwest Kentucky. Additional storms developed during the evening hours and moved across west Kentucky and southern portions of southeast Missouri. The environment was ideal for large hail development and some hail stones of golf ball to tennis ball sized was reported, particularly across Webster and Daviess Counties in Kentucky. A few areas observed significant wind from the storms as well, most notably near Wingo and Elkton, KY. The KY mesonet station southwest of Elkton reported a 95 mph wind gust shortly before midnight as the final round of storms moved through.
