A weak complex of thunderstorms moved south and east from central Ohio into southeastern Ohio. Large precipitatable water values were in place leading to extremely heavy rainfall rates in some of the thunderstorms. Light steering winds lead to slow storm motion. A few instances of minor flash flooding occurred in Jackson County as a result during the evening hours of the 29th and into the early morning hours of the 30th.
