A cold front progressed through Ohio on the afternoon of August 20th and was the primary focus for shower and thunderstorm development. Several areas had tree damage occur in Perry County as a result of strong wind gusts from passing thunderstorms. An afternoon slew of showers and storms developed the next day, once again resulting in a downed tree in Perry County. Heavy downpours and heavily severed soil conditions from previous rainfall led to an instance of flash flooding along State Route 66
