  "episodeNarrative": "A round of strong to severe thunderstorms impacted western Kentucky during the late night and early morning hours of Jan. 11-12. The storms produced some gusty winds and even a tornado just after they crossed the Mississippi River into extreme southern Illinois and extreme west Kentucky. The main hazard then transitioned to large hail across much of western Kentucky. The storms were organized into clusters and occasionally line segments. The storms occurred along a warm front as it tracked northward across western Kentucky into the lower Ohio Valley. Steep lapse rates aloft and strong deep-layer wind shear were supportive of elevated hailers. An isolated tornado threat existed due to modest instability as boundary layer dew points rose into the upper 50's to near 60 degrees.",
  "eventId": "1066110",
  "eventNarrative": "Hail up to the size of golf balls was reported in the Reidland area. Numerous houses in a subdivision near exit 16 off Interstate 24 sustained roof damage. The vast majority of the hailstones were smaller than quarters. Copious amounts of hail covered the ground in some places, especially along Interstate 24 around exit 16. There was enough hail to cause a vehicle accident near exit 16. Small drifts of hail were still visible along the interstate into the early afternoon hours.",
