A cold front swept east-southeast across the region as Hurricane Nate was coming ashore near Mobile, Alabama. Showers and storms developed along and in advance of the front. As moisture from the remnants of Nate moved north, some of the storms produced very heavy tropical rains south of a Mayfield to Owensboro line. In these areas, two to five inches of rain fell over a two-day period. There was urban street flooding, and water was over a state road.
