Scattered afternoon convection became more numerous for the mid-afternoon hours in the northern Pennyrile. MLCAPE was around 1000 J/kg while shear was limited. Many of these showers had high rain rates due to PW of 1.5-1.75 inch, particularly along a west-east boundary that slowly drifted northward. Storm progression to the ENE brought extended periods of heavier rainfall from 1200-1600CST, with Hopkins and Daviess County experiencing some flash flooding as a result.
