After a broad area of rain moved through the region earlier in the day, a boundary sagged slowly south through the Ozarks. This boundary became the focus for rounds of rain and storms. With ample instability available and a strong low level jet, storms were able to produce measured winds as high as 76 mph at times. With storms moving across the same locations thanks to the slow moving boundary, flooding also occurred for some locations.
