It’s weird how the corner of that tornado warning area cuts off at Kentucky.

That has to do with where the NWS Memphis area of responsibility cuts off. Their WFO covers to the state line, any continuation of that warning into Kentucky would have been picked up by NWS Paducah.

In most cases the different weather forecasting offices will coordinate warnings. Sometimes there are differences in opinions between mets at different offices. NWS Memphis isn't always the easiest office to work with it seems, but in this case it is just standard operating procedure.
