A warm front stalled along the Ohio River, providing the focus for several clusters of thunderstorms to move across northern Kentucky during the early morning, lasting into the afternoon.  Rainfall amounts from the thunderstorms generally ranged from three to five inches.  The copious amounts of rain caused creeks and streams to rise out of their banks, and many roads were flooded and impassible.
