A strong low pressure system tracking from the southeast U.S. across the Mid Atlantic region produced a long period of steady rainfall across portions of southeast Ohio. Storm total rainfall of 1 to 2 inches was observed over the area over a two day period on the 21st/22nd. With the ground already saturated, the heavy rain led to minor flooding issues, particularly in Monroe County, Ohio.
