The wider storm

A warm front remained relatively stationary across the Upper Ohio Valley on January 3rd. An anomalously moist and warm air mass surged northward into the zone of convergence associated with the boundary, and combined with elevated instability to create enhanced rainfall rates. When looking at eastern Ohio, Noble and Monroe Counties received the highest storm total rainfall amounts of 1.5 to 2.5 inches in some cases. This lead to several reports of road flooding.

Began near Woodsfield (39.7600, -81.1200).
