An active convective pattern continued on the 22nd as an upper trough over the Mississippi Valley pushed east during the day. A strong disturbance pushed around the southern edge of the trough during the afternoon hours, and combined with the continued warm and moist airmass in place, triggered numerous showers and thunderstorms. A couple of these thunderstorms became severe with downed trees, and one thunderstorm led to flash flooding overnight.
