A nearly stationary front draped itself from central Texas northeast through the Ohio River Valley and produced multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms, some with very heavy rainfall. Scattered showers and thunderstorms resulted in several cases of flooding or flash flooding. One to three inches of rain fell across the region with isolated higher amounts before the front passed east on the 25th. Moderate to heavy rainfall quickly inundated ditches and once again flooded roads around the region. Rivers throughout southern Illinois rose above flood stage. The river flooding was minor to moderate.
