Flash Flood — Lawrence, Ohio

2025-07-01 · near Sheridan, Lawrence, Ohio

Event narrative

Flooding was observed on the roads in Sheridan.

Wider weather episode

Following a fairly active June, unsettled conditions rolled right on into the month of July with bands of rain and thunderstorms springing up ahead of a cold front on the 1st. Activity continued until the front pushed east of the Appalachians early on the 2nd, then drier conditions took hold for southeast Ohio, northeast Kentucky, southwest Virginia, and much of West Virginia while the front stalled across central Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas.

Portions of southeast Ohio received one to three inches of rain. With already wet ground from previous storms, this additional rainfall was just enough to cause a little flash flooding in Lawrence County.
