A cold front advanced eastward from the Midwest by the evening of the 30th. A seasonably warm and moist airmass over Northern Ohio generated enough instability for the development of thunderstorms. As an upper-level trough propagated into the region, shower and thunderstorm coverage increased and evolved into several clusters. In some locations, the thunderstorms produced repeated heavy rain leading to flash flooding.
