A compact storm system interacted with a warm and unstable airmass in the late afternoon and evening of April 7th to produce severe weather over portions of central Kentucky. Wind damage and large hail were common with the strongest storms and 2 tornadoes occurred in Madison County. The heavy rain that fell, already on top of saturated ground, brought a few rivers into flood.
