The initial convection was during the morning, but weakened as it moved into West Virginia from northeast Kentucky. Other storms formed during the early afternoon. Finally, late in the afternoon, thunderstorms formed along the cold front in Ohio and moved southeast in northeast Kentucky during the evening.
This event was driven by the upper air dynamics ahead of that reinforcing cold front.  Dew points were mostly in the 60 to 65 degree range and daytime temperatures in the mid 70s to around 80 degrees.  The freezing level was only 11,000 to 12,000 feet.

A combination of heavy late April rains and the melting of a record snowpack led to historic flooding along the Saint John River at Fort Kent.

Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: River/Stream Gage

A combination of 2.50 to 3.50 inches of rain which fell in late April and the melting of a record snowpack led to historic flooding of the Saint John River at Fort Kent. The river crested at an all-time high level which was just over 5 feet above flood stage. The Fish River which flows into the Saint John River at Fort Kent also overflowed its banks...contributing to the Fort Kent flooding.
The Saint John River initially began flooding in the vicinity of the juncture with the Fish River when the waters of the Saint John River backed up into the Fish River. The initial flooding began with water running behind the levee which had been built along the Saint John River. Sandbagging efforts were eventually able to slow this flooding. However...with the Saint John River continuing to rise flooding expanded across the town. The river crested within a foot of the top of the levee which protects downtown Fort Kent. The levee did protect portions of downtown Fort Kent...though a significant portion of the town was flooded. The waters reached the base of the international bridge connecting Fort Kent with New Brunswick...causing closure of the bridge. There was concern for a time that the bridge might collapse...though the bridge did hold.
Between 100 and 150 homes were damaged or destroyed by the flooding in Fort Kent. Evacuations totaled between 600 and 1000 people. This was a continuation of flooding which began in late April. The monetary value represents the total damage to public infrastructure across all of Aroostook county from the late April and early May flooding.
A combination of heavy late April rains and the melting of a record snowpack led to flooding of the Aroostook River at Masardis. The flooding affected mostly lowland areas along the river and Route 11 near Masardis. The flooding developed in late April and continued into early May.
