Scattered clusters of showers and thunderstorms developed in the afternoon hours ahead of a weakening stationary front oriented north to south across the lower Midwest. Storms fed off of diurnal instability and gradually moved southward from southern Indiana into the Louisville metro, where they intensified enough to cause scattered wind damage. Minor flooding occurred as a result of heavy rainfall in Franklin County.
