Read the full account →Early on September 3rd, a surface low embedded along a cold front moved across Southern Indiana. This brought areas of heavy rain and cooler temperatures to the Lower Ohio Valley.
Read the full account →An upper level system interacted with an unstable environment, causing the development of thunderstorms. High precipitable water values and training of several thunderstorms cause a narrow swath of intense rainfall.
Read the full account →The remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy moved northward from the central Gulf coast, while a cold front approached the Ohio Valley from the northwest. The tropical moisture from Cindy was squeezed out by the approaching cold front.
