Flash Flood — Beaver, PA

Jun 26, 2022

A broken line of thunderstorms moved across this area of the Ohio Valley just ahead of an approaching cold front. While thunderstorms were generally moving fast enough to avoid flooding issues, some locations received multiple rounds of heavy rainfall as multiple convective segments moved across, and in some instances trained across the same area. This led to isolated flash flooding in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
