The wider storm
Low pressure centered over SEMO slowly drifted eastward into the day. Tropical moisture streamed northeastward into the Quad State early morning on the 7th pushing dew points into the upper 60s to near 70 and precipitable water values of up to 1.75-2. Instability and shear were limited during the morning, preventing any severe thunderstorm development. An extended cold front from Quebec to Texas had crossed into the Quad State earlier, setting up a convergence zone near the Ohio River. Upon reaching the Ohio, showers tracked more east-northeasterly, producing training heavy rainfall near the IN/KY border. Multiple reports of over 4.5 inches of rainfall came from Henderson County, where flooding issues developed.
