Read the full account →Low pressure over the upper lakes drifted east into Quebec dragging a cold front through Ohio during the afternoon of June 5th. Warm moist air ahead of the cold front support severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall.
Read the full account →An arctic cold front approached and passed through the area February 3rd into February 4th. Multiple waves of low pressure moved along this front, allowing for a slow moving system which provided plenty of rainfall, heavy at times, to the Ohio Valley.
Read the full account →Periods of moderate to heavy rain occurred on February 17th into the 18th in response to a passing cold front. Southeast Ohio took the brunt of precipitation, resulting in 1 to 2 inches of rainfall accumulations.

Thunderstorms filled in during the late afternoon hours in the unstable and moist environment ahead of the front.

Read the full account →A stationary front stalled across central Ohio on the afternoon of the 16th. Warm moist air was in place with dew points near 70 degrees. Recent rains across the region had produced nearly saturated ground conditions supporting rapid runoff and an increased risk of flash…
