Isolated flash flooding of roads occurred due to persistent thunderstorms with very heavy rainfall. Minor flooding ensued on the Little River at Hopkinsville. A 500 mb shortwave ejected eastward atop relatively stable low levels. Steep mid-level lapse rates promoted strong thunderstorm development. Precipitable water values were around 1.25 inches, contributing to torrential rainfall rates.
