Slow moving low pressure system over the Ohio Valley allowed for multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms on March 18th and the first few hours of the 19th. This resulted in a rise in creeks and rivers in southeast Ohio on the morning of the 19th, with most water bodies not returning to their banks until the early morning hours of the 20th. Minor flooding in low lying areas and roadways were the main impacts from this system.
