A slow-moving cold front drifted slowly southeast across southeast Missouri on the 27th, then stalled over the Tennessee Valley on the 28th. The front returned north as a warm front and stalled over the southeast corner of Missouri on the 29th. Widespread heavy rainfall from this oscillating front eventually resulted in isolated flooding of roads on the 29th. The heavy rain also caused minor flooding on the St. Francis River.
