Short lines of showers and thunderstorms formed in the humid air during the afternoon.  This was well ahead of a cold front in northwest Ohio to southern portions of Indiana and Illinois.
The front sank south into southern Ohio early on the 8th.  Repetitive showers caused 1 to 1.5 inches of rain in about 3 to 4 hours during the predawn.  This band of heavier rain was mostly from Cabell County on east and north through Putnam, northern Kanawha, southern Jackson, Roane, Calhoun, Braxton. northern Webster, southern Lewis, and Upshur Counties.
After a lull in the rain during most of the day, another round of showers formed south of the stalled front in southern Ohio and northern West Virginia.  Rain totals of .5 to an inch were enough to cause minor flash flooding in Roane County during the early evening.
