A weak trough was located across northwestern Ohio during the afternoon and evening hours. A moist, but marginally unstable atmosphere allowed for thunderstorms to develop and remain relatively stationary over the same areas. Local rainfall amounts of 2 to as much as over 6 inches fell across mainly Allen County, resulting in flash flooding. The flash flooding resulted in a small portion of Interstate 75 being closed due to high water.
