Early on Sunday, August 10th, a nearly stationary front stretched from weak low pressure in Arkansas northeast along the Ohio River. This boundary became a focus for repeated episodes of slow moving heavy thunderstorms throughout the day, and even into Monday. During the morning hours on Sunday, a cluster of storms developed near Lexington and brought flooding to several counties in the Bluegrass Region. For the date, the ASOS site at the Lexington Airport measured a record 5.38 inches of rain.
