Convection formed in the heat of the day, with highs around 90 degrees and dew points around 70. There was also an east-to-west boundary in the vicinity, likely from convective activity the previous night or earlier in the day. Initially, the convection grew rapidly along a line from northeast Kentucky into West Virginia, with several bowing segments developing. However, with very weak shear, the storms were fairly short lived. Regardless, the storms did cause some local tree and property damage
