The center of the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry continued to move north-northeast, passing across the Ozarks of central and southwest Missouri. On the east side of Barry, a rather strong low level flow brought tropical moisture northward into the lower Ohio Valley. Pockets of sunshine resulted in sufficient instability for scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. The tropical air mass was associated with very heavy rainfall rates and local flash flooding.
