Several rounds of widespread heavy rainfall tracked northeast across western Kentucky. These rounds of heavy rain produced localized flooding of roads, along with longer-term flooding along creeks and tributaries of the Ohio River. In the wake of a surface cold front, a persistent southwest flow of moist air aloft generated multiple rounds of widespread rain. Another cold front then moved east into western Kentucky on the morning of the 23rd. The three-day rainfall total at the Paducah National Weather Service office was 4.05 inches for the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd.
