Surface low pressure was centered over Iowa. A trailing cold front swung rapidly east across the Mississippi Valley, preceded by widespread moderate to heavy rainfall. Another 1 to 2 inches of rain fell on ground that was saturated from the Halloween night rainfall event. This caused minor flooding of flood-prone areas, in addition to a sharp rise on the Little River near Hopkinsville.
