The wider storm
A mainly stationary front sprawled across southeast Ohio and West Virginia on the 26th and 27th of May, then a cold front arrived and sank down through the middle Ohio Valley and central Appalachians. This second front exited to the south by mid day on the 28th. Precipitation spread north across the area on the 26th, then additional rounds of rain and storms continued to traverse the area through the 27th.
With soils already saturated from previous rainfall, the additional one to three inches of rain that fell over northeast Kentucky prompted more flooded roads in Greenup and minor flooding on portions of Tygarts Creek.
Began near Beechy (38.6300, -82.9500).
