A stationary front stalled across central Ohio on the afternoon of the 16th. Warm moist air was in place with dew points near 70 degrees. Recent rains across the region had produced nearly saturated ground conditions supporting rapid runoff and an increased risk of flash flooding. A flash flood watch was in effect for the afternoon hours. A mescoscale convective complex with heavy showers over Indiana moved east into the region in the early afternoon. Areas along and south of US 30 experienced the most flood impacts from this system as it produced 2 to 3 inches of rainfall.
