A strong low pressure system moved southwest to northeast from the mid-Mississippi valley into the Great Lakes during the day on February 9th, with the low gradually occluding and weakening through the day. Despite the weakening trend, the pressure gradient was still very strong, and as clouds cleared following the passage of a cold front, strong winds were able to mix down to the surface across central Kentucky during the late morning and afternoon hours. There were multiple measured wind gusts of greater than 50 mph, with isolated stronger wind gusts of up to 71 mph in Franklin County. The strong non-thunderstorm wind gusts also led to scattered tree and power line damage across central Kentucky, which caused localized power outages.

An amazing cold front barged through central Kentucky during the evening of December 22nd. The front caused temperatures to crash 50 degrees in 12 hours, from the 40s on the afternoon of the 22nd to subzero readings the following morning. Light rain ahead of the front quickly changed to light snow behind it with 1 to 3 inches falling in many locations. A band of 4 to 5 inches of snow developed from Salem, Indiana to Frankfort, Kentucky. The snow and plunging temperatures were accompanied by wind gusts to 40 mph and wind chills down to 30 degrees below zero, some of the coldest wind chills seen in 25 years. Daytime readings on the 23rd did not get out of the single digits. Near blizzard conditions were observed during the snowfall with visibility limited to a half mile. People were urged to avoid travel on one of the busiest holiday travel days of the year. Numerous crashes and closures were reported on state highways due to the snow and extreme cold temperatures. The extreme cold also resulted in scattered power outages and rolling blackouts in parts of the area.

An arctic front pushed south across central Kentucky on Thursday, February 3, 2022. Southerly flow and a layer of warm air aloft combined with falling surface temperatures to produce an impactful winter storm with a variety of precipitation types. Significant freezing rain and sleet accumulations caused travel impacts, some tree damage, and power outages in some portions of central Kentucky.

On July 14th, as the remains of Hurricane Barry advanced up the Mississippi River Valley, an outer boundary of storms moved northward over the Ohio River Valley. This caused localized tree and power line damage north of Lexington, Kentucky. ||On July 15th, the circulation that was Barry entered central Kentucky, and over the next few days, it produced heavy rainfall rates and damaging winds. This caused isolated flooding and tree damage.

A cold air mass already in place combined with an anomalous low pressure system to produce an early season freezing rain event across central Kentucky and southern Indiana. Many locations received between a tenth and a quarter of an inch of ice accumulating on trees/shrubs and other elevated surfaces. Warm ground temperatures kept most roads ice free, though some bridges had slick spots. ||The ice on the trees, many of which still had leaves that helped to weigh them down, caused several limbs/branches to snap and some trees to fall. There were many reports of power flashes overnight as branches hit transformers. At the peak of the event, over 100,000 customers were without power in the region. One utility company serving much of central Kentucky reported that it was one of the top 10 costliest outages in it's history.

A winter storm produced a band of 4-10 inches of snowfall across central Kentucky during the evening hours March 11 through the morning hours March 12. The heaviest totals of 8-10 inches occurred east of I-65, from Washington/Marion/northern Taylor counties east through Fayette and Madison counties. 9 inches was measured at Blue Grass Airport in Lexington. ||The snowfall was heavy and intense at times, accumulating 1 inch per hour in many places. The snow was extremely wet, which put a high load of weight on trees and power lines. There were numerous reports of downed trees and power lines. In addition, there were widespread school closings across central Kentucky with reports of traffic accidents and hazardous travel conditions.

Tropical Storm Cindy made landfall along the Gulf Coast and quickly lifted northeast toward the lower Ohio Valley June 22-23. The remnants interacted with a cold front from the Upper Midwest to produced widespread heavy rainfall. The unseasonably moist air mass led to widespread rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches with an embedded swath of 3-6 inches across central Kentucky. This led to numerous reports of flash flooding with some swift water rescues occurring as well. Multiple roads across many counties were closed for a period of time due to the high water. Three river points rose into minor flood, mainly across the Bluegrass region. In addition, several strong to severe thunderstorms tracked across the area which brought down numerous trees and power poles. The environment also supported short spin-up tornadoes and 2 did touch down across central Kentucky.

A strong cold front swept across central Kentucky during the afternoon hours on September 10. Warm and moist air ahead of this boundary interacted with this frontal boundary and resulted in a line of strong to severe storms. The primary hazard was damaging winds which brought down some power lines and trees.

The combination of maximum daytime heating and a strong low pressure system racing across the lower Great Lakes region brought strong to damaging winds to many areas across central Kentucky. Maximum gusts reported ranged from 50 to 60 mph that resulted in downed trees and power lines along with some structural damage to property.

A small but intense complex of severe thunderstorms developed north of the area but quickly moved into north central Kentucky during the evening hours of July 17th. Widespread damaging wind gusts estimated between 55 and 60 mph occurred, resulting in toppled trees and power lines. This storm significantly impacted the Louisville metro area and caused thousands of homes and businesses to lose power. A popular outdoor music festival in Louisville was hit by the storms as well, forcing thousands of concert goers to seek shelter and cutting short the evening performances. Flash flooding also occurred as a result of the very intense rainfall rates and very wet antecedent conditions.

A series of upper level disturbances moved from the Upper Midwest into the lower Ohio Valley and interacted with a moist, warm and unstable atmosphere. Strong to severe thunderstorms developed and then organized into bowing segments across the area, spawning three weak tornadoes in addition to widespread areas of downburst wind damage. Thousands of trees were downed, causing scattered power outages and some structural damage. In addition, due to the very wet antecedent conditions, flash flooding occurred in several locations, resulting in closed and impassable roads, water rescues and significant property damage. The most widespread and hardest hit areas were along and east of Interstate 65 in central Kentucky. Rainfall amounts over the period were in excess of 5 to 7 inches. Several rivers across the region went above flood stage, cresting several feet above flood stage.

A moist and unstable air mass interacted with a stalled frontal boundary across central Kentucky and an approaching upper level disturbance to spark a round of severe thunderstorms during the late morning and afternoon hours July 10th. Damaging winds brought down trees and power lines resulting in some structural damage across the area. A couple of short lived tornadoes were also found to have occurred near Fort Knox and Belmont, Kentucky.

An intense storm system brought flooding rains to central Kentucky, followed quickly by exceptionally heavy snow. This amount of rain, followed by such heavy snow, is practically unprecedented. The upper level pattern featured a positively tilted upper trough across the desert southwest on the 3nd of March. A tight baroclinic zone stretched northeastward through southern Indiana. Strong southwesterly flow at lower levels brought rich moisture along this nearly stationary boundary. Initially, during the evening hours on the 3nd, rain developed along this boundary and gradually overspread all of southern Indiana and central Kentucky. Steady rain continued through the late afternoon on the 4th. Two to almost 3 inches of rain fell across north central and central Kentucky before precipitation changed into snow during the late afternoon hours on the 4th. Minor areal flooding developed with several roads and low water crossings closed. ||Rain changed into heavy snow near the Ohio River around 5pm, with precipitation changeover slowly moving farther south during the evening, Rain finally changed over to snow near the Tennessee Border during the early morning hours. Intense frontogenesis and lift associated with the right rear quadrant of a powerful jet led to the development of several intense snow bands where snow fell at a rate of 2 inches per hour. One band developed from near Breckenridge County and stretched through Bullitt County and across the northern Bluegrass. Under this nearly stationary band, snow totals ranged from 15 to locally over 20 inches. One reliable snow report from near Radcliff, Kentucky measured 25 inches, which is one inch short of the all time Kentucky storm total snowfall record. Snow diminished from west to east during the mid-morning hours on the 5th. Snow totals across south central Kentucky, adjacent to Tennessee, ranged from 5 to 8 inches.

A cyclone that developed across the southern plains early on the 4th of February spawned weak low pressure that moved into western Tennessee by early afternoon, crossing eastern Kentucky during the evening hours. A strong southwesterly low level jet developed during the morning hours, bringing ample moisture northeast toward the Commonwealth. With the track of the surface low, north central Kentucky experienced northeasterly winds. With antecedent cold air, aided in part by a fresh snow pack, surface temperatures stayed around 31 to 32 through the afternoon and evening hours. Brief heavy snow quickly changed to sleet and then freezing rain during the mid-afternoon hours, continuing until just after midnight. Even though temperatures did not support efficient ice accumulations, ample rainfall brought ice amounts of one quarter of an inch on elevated surfaces. Lessor amounts of ice accumulated along and southeast of the Cumberland Parkway. Scattered tree damage and power outages were reported across northern Kentucky. Heavy rain in excess of 2 1/2 inches fell within a 6 hour period on partially frozen ground near the city of Bowling Green, several streets became impassable with local emergency management reporting some water rescues.

A powerful cyclone began to deepen over Illinois during the afternoon hours on October 31st. Towards midnight, as low pressure moved across southern Lake Michigan, it deepened to well below 990mb. A powerful low level jet developed over the Lower Ohio Valley by mid-afternoon, as winds at 925mb increased to around 55kt by evening. These winds translated to surface winds of around 30 mph with frequent gusts up to 50 mph across southern Indiana and the Commonwealth. Widespread minor wind damage developed as large branches fall across roads and power lines. In addition to strong gradient winds, several convective lines of showers developed by mid-evening across central Kentucky. Despite a lack of thunder, these lines of showers brought additional wind damage.

An Alberta Clipper tracked across central Kentucky during the early morning hours on March 5th. Despite limited moisture, strong lift associated with the nose of a power upper jet brought several hours of heavy snow across north central Kentucky and the Bluegrass Region. Heavy wet snow with flakes the size of quarters fell at a rate of over an inch an hour shortly after midnight in Louisville. Three to locally over 5 inches of snow fell along the Interstate 64 corridor from Louisville to east of Lexington.

A fast moving compact bow echo that developed along Interstate 64 in southwestern Indiana continued moving east, through Jefferson, Shelby, Franklin, Scott and Fayette Counties in Kentucky. Louisville was especially hard hit. Widespread winds ranging from 55 to 70 mph downed many trees and power lines across the northern and central portions of the city. Widespread road closures and power outages to more than 100,000 customers occurred. Electricity was not restored in some neighborhoods for several days, delaying the start of the school year by two days for 98,000 public school students. Farther east across the Bluegrass Region, a narrow path of damage continued across northern Woodford County and into Lexington.

Shortly after one o'clock in the morning on April 26, 2011 a powerful squall line brought damaging straight-line winds to much of Logan County. The strongest winds, possibly up to 100 mph, swept from Olmstead to Chandlers Chapel. This squall line tracked east through the early morning hours causing wind damage across south central Kentucky. Storms redeveloped later in the afternoon as a the lower Ohio was situated in an area of strong upper level divergence with multiple vortmaxes rotating across the region. The storms that developed during the afternoon and evening hours produced large hail as well as three tornadoes across Grayson and Hardin counties.

A strong cold front moved through the region during the day on October 26. During the early morning hours a low level jet of 60 to 70 knots formed. A squall line developed ahead of the front with produced widespread damaging wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph. Additionally a few tornadoes formed along this squall line as it moved across central Kentucky. Tree damage, damage to buildings, and power lines down were all reported with this squall line. Ahead of this squall line the tight pressure gradient led to winds gusting up to 50 mph preceding the thunderstorm activity.

A MCS that formed in Illinois dove southeast through the day. This complex entered southern Indiana as a broken line with numerous damaging wind reports upstream. This system continued to produce widespread damaging wind gusts across southern Indiana and central Kentucky as it progressed into an unstable environment with 3500-4000 J/kg of CAPE. Numerous trees were toppled and power lines were downed leaving some residents without power.

A deep cyclone that brought record low barometric pressure to Grand Rapids for the month of December (28.86 in Hg), brought strong gradient winds to central Kentucky on December 9th. Gusty winds developed during the early morning hours and increased by late morning as colder air arrived. Sustained winds of 30 to 40 mph with peak wind gusts over 50 mph were widespread. Some of the strongest gusts developed over some of the higher terrain of the Bluegrass Region. The Kentucky Mesonet measured peak gusts of 56, 53, and 51 mph in Mercer, Lincoln, and Franklin counties respectively. Outside of the Louisville and Lexington metropolitan areas, Kentucky Utilities reported around 3000 brief power outages.

A strong trough exiting the Rockies lead to explosive development of surface low pressure during the day Wednesday February 11th. At dawn, low pressure near 998 mb formed over southern Missouri. This cyclone deepened to 986 mb as it crossed into southern Michigan by late evening. The cyclone brought widespread high winds stretching from Tennessee through Michigan.||Convective showers along an occluded front crossed central Kentucky during the afternoon. This line brought widespread severe wind gusts 55 to 65 mph along and south of the Bluegrass Parkway. Behind this front, gradient winds increased to 35 to 40 mph...with gusts up to 65 mph during the late afternoon and early evening. Scattered structural damage, tree damage and power outages resulted from both the winds associated with the convection and from the gradient winds outside of precipitation areas.

A prolonged ice and snow storm began around just after midnight Tuesday January 27 and continued through 11 am Wednesday January 28. The mixed freezing rain and snow that fell over central Kentucky was just one aspect of a widespread overrunning event that brought destructive winter weather from Texas, through the Ohio Valley, into New England. Arctic air centered across the Upper Midwest supplied low level cold air. Several disturbances moved east across a nearly stationary front stalled across the Tennessee Valley.||Snow, mixing with sleet, brought accumulations of around 2 to 4 inches from areas just south of the Ohio River through Frankfort and the northern Bluegrass Region by dawn on January 27th. Farther south during this time, ice accumulations ranging from one half to just over one inch stretched from Ohio county eastward through the southern Bluegrass Region. Along the Tennessee border, ice on elevated surfaces averaged one quarter of an inch. ||During the afternoon of the 27th and into the morning hours on the 28th, freezing rain developed along and north of interstate 64 and brought widespread ice accumulations averaging 1/2 inch. Rain fell over south central Kentucky. Icing lead to widespread tree damage and power outages by the morning of the 28th. Colder air arrived after dawn on the 28th. Freezing rain changed back to snow with additional accumulations of 1 to 3 inches along and north of Interstate 64.||This winter storm brought the most widespread damage due to icing in recent memory across Kentucky. Ice accumulated over 1 inch across central portions of the Commonwealth, including Grayson, Ohio, Butler and Breckinridge counties. Over 600,000 residences lost power, exceeding the number of outages due to the remnants of hurricane Ike last September. Utility companies stated that this event brought the greatest number of outages from any weather event in history. ||The almost continuous rain or snow over a 36 hour period brought 3 to 4 inches of precipitation over a wide area and even lead to some minor flooding.

The remnants of Hurricane Ike moved across the Ohio Valley on the morning and afternoon of September 14th. This system, along with an upper level trough and a surface cold front approaching the region, combined to bring very strong surface wind gusts to the area. Widespread damage occurred with measured wind gusts up to 75 mph, along with 7 known injuries and 2 fatalities across parts of central Kentucky. Seventy-five percent of all Louisville Metro electrical customers - more than 300,000 homes and businesses - lost power for up to a week due to the storm, leaving many businesses and schools closed during the week. Statewide, nearly 600,000 customers lost power due to the storm. Cost estimates were reported at around 10 million dollars across the Commonwealth, with 4.2 million of that in the Louisville Metro area alone. 33 counties in Kentucky were declared major disaster areas by President Bush.

Southwest flow brought moisture which overran arctic air just above the surface. Sleet developed during the late morning hours and quickly turned to freezing rain. Initial freezing rain accumulations developed across central Kentucky. Near rush hour...a wide area of freezing rain moved east along and north of Interstate 64. Ice accumulations of over 1/4 inch were widespread. Many accidents were reported during the evening hours. Ice accumulations did not heavily damage trees...but did account for several power outages.

A powerful cold front set off a lengthy squall line that crossed all of central Kentucky on the evening of January 29. A large number of locations had 60 to as much as 100 mph winds, causing extensive property damage. There were also a few small tornado spin-ups.

A cold front with strong upper level support collided with a very moist air mass over the lower Ohio Valley. The result was a widespread outbreak of severe thunderstorms, and six confirmed tornadoes. The storms produced property damage, downed trees and power lines, and large hail.

Another in a series of cold fronts brought severe thunderstorms to Kentucky. Most of wind damage that occurred was in the form of downed trees and power lines. Several people were injured, however, when the vehicles or outbuildings they occupied were struck by falling trees or large limbs. A few barns were damaged or destroyed, including one in Bourbon County occupied by four thoroughbred horses. The horses were rescued, and had sustained only minor injuries.

An upper level disturbance set off some severe thunderstorms over the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. Most of the wind damage was in the form of downed trees and power lines. Large hail also fell over some areas. Heavy rains from the thunderstorms also caused some flash flooding.

A frontal boundary over the lower Ohio Valley set off a couple rounds of severe thunderstorms over the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. Most of the damage was in the form of downed trees and power lines.

Thunderstorms developed in an unstable air mass over central Kentucky, out ahead of an advancing cold front. Thunderstorm winds downed trees and power lines over much of the area, along with a few instances of hail and structural damage.

A winter storm began with freezing rain, then changed over to sleet and snow over parts of south central and east central Kentucky. Ice accumulations up to one half inch were reported, with up to an inch of snow or sleet on top. Some structural failures were reported, mainly in outbuildings and awnings covering service stations. A few flights were cancelled out of Bluegrass Field in Lexington. Many residents were without power for an extended time period, mainly in Franklin, Harrison, and Scott Counties. Trees and limbs brought down by the weight of the ice blocked many area streets and roads.

At Stephensburg in Hardin County, a portion of a roof was blown off a grocery store. The debris landed on cars in a nearby parking lot. Elsewhere around central Kentucky, power lines, trees, and large limbs were blown down.

Light to occasionally moderate freezing rain began on the evening of the 15th, and continued through the evening of the 16th. Reports of ice accumulations of an inch were common along and north of Interstate 64, from Frankfort to Winchester. The hardest hit areas were in and around the cities of Frankfort and Lexington, where up to an inch and a quarter of ice accumulation was observed. A 78 year old male in Lawrenceburg in Anderson County died of injuries sustained when he was struck by a falling, ice covered, tree limb. After the storm, it is estimated that nearly 125,000 residents were without power for up to five days or more. Most of the property damage was reported in the Lexington area. A great deal of the monetary damage was for cleanup and restoration of power in the days after the storm.

Power lines and numerous trees were blown down across North Central and East Central Kentucky.

Twenty power poles in Okolona in Jefferson County were snapped by thunderstorm winds. Over 20000 people in the Greater Louisville area were left without electric power.

Sherman in Larue County. A roof was caved in at a lumber company in Bowling Green in Warren County. In Liberty in Casey County, part of the roof of a concrete company was blown off. Georgetown in Scott county had extensive damage; an 80 foot radio tower was blown over on to a house, propane tanks and cars were overturned, and power poles were snapped.

A line of thunderstorms developed over Indiana during the afternoon. Additional thunderstorms developed during the evening along outflow boundaries, and gained upper level support from a shortwave that moved from Illinois, through Indiana, into Ohio. Most of the damage from the severe thunderstorms was in the form of downed trees and power lines. A tree was blown on to a house in Bardstown in Nelson County, and there was some roof damage in Nicholasville in Jessamine County.
