A weak and slow Southward-moving cold front was located over the southern Great Lakes on the afternoon of the 13th. To the south of the boundary, a warm and moist airmass was present where clusters of showers and thunderstorms began to develop. Some locations saw repeated rounds of heavy rain from the thunderstorms leading to flash flooding. More than three inches of rain forced many commuters to find alternative routes home as flash flooding closed many area streets and roads.
