The Little River fell below flood stage after near-record flooding on the 28th of February. The heaviest rain occurred across southern portions of western Kentucky during the morning and afternoon hours on the 28th. This heavy rain was associated with a cold front that trailed from a low pressure system. The low moved from the Plains to the Great Lakes, placing western Kentucky in a very moist warm sector. Hourly rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour were common, leading to storm total rain
