A warm frontal boundary lifted north and stalled across the lower Great Lakes which lead to a period of significant rainfall across the region between the 9th and 12th. The rainfall pushed many area streams and creeks in western New York above action stage. Black Creek at Churchville exceeded flood stage (6 feet) for around 21 hours, cresting at 6.37 feet. This resulted some backyard and basement flooding in Churchville and Chili.
