A stalled frontal boundary and surface low pressure south of the state early Sunday morning began to slowly lift northward into the southeast and south-central portion of the state throughout the day. Showers and thunderstorms developed along the boundary and moved eastward. Since the system as whole showed very little forward progression, multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms ended up moving across the same locations multiple times, on top of already saturated soils. This ended up leading to multiple instances of flash flooding, specifically in Whitley and Pike Counties.
