Unseasonably moist air, combined with a nearly stationary boundary draped from Michigan through western Tennessee, lead to several days of heavy rain across west central and central Kentucky. Over a 4 day period from late Thursday, January 10th through Sunday the 14th, 3 to 4 inches of rain were recorded. The highest amounts, around two and one half inches, fell along the Ohio River southwest of Louisville over a 15 hour period ending Sunday afternoon.  This led to some very minor flooding across low water crossings and open fields.  Several rivers experienced minor flooding on Sunday and Monday, January 13th and 14th.
