An upper level low pressure system tracked east across Ohio during the evening hours of the 24th and early morning hours of the 25th. This system produced rain, some of it heavy, over most of northern Ohio. The heaviest rainfall fell on portions of the Scioto River basin including Marion County. With the ground already saturated from steady rains the previous four days, the rain on the 25th quickly ran off causing the Scioto River at LaRue to go into flood during the morning hours of the 25th
