A low pressure system tracking into the Great Lakes region swung a cold front into the Ohio Valley on February 22nd. Rain showers increased that evening as the surface front scooted closer towards southeast Ohio. The river gages for the Muskingum River at Beverly and McConnelsville as well as the gage for Duck Creek at Macksburg noted a rise due to the influx of rainfall, which resulted in minor flooding while the river and creek were out of their banks.
