A warm front lifted across the region on the afternoon of Sunday the 28th. Convection developed along and behind this feature. The most intense storms and concentration was along the lake breeze boundary extending from Cleveland eastward. This allowed for training and an increased risk of flooding. Antecedent ground conditions were primed for rapid runoff due to an unusually wet spring.
