Flash Flood — Muskingum, OH

Jul 30, 2019

Showers and thunderstorms were generated by an approaching shortwave. A prefrontal trough in the morning temporarily suppressed the potential for flooding. However, during the afternoon, storms were able to regenerate. An overall weak flow pattern allowed some storms to move sufficiently slow to created isolated flooding issues.
