Flash Flood — Noble, OH

Feb 16, 2025

Flood Cause
Heavy Rain

Increasing moisture and lift ahead of a relatively strong low pressure system resulted in flash flooding across portions of southeast Ohio. Flash Flooding occurred as the cold front approached and crossed with an axis of heavy rain just ahead of the front. This was preceded by earlier rain with the associated warm front which primed the area for flooding.
