The wider storm
A warm front lifted north into the state Saturday, allowing for an intensification of moisture advection into the area. This was then followed up by a passing cold front and associated cold front, both of which provided lift and helped provide heavy rains across the state. While instability was limited, there was some severe thunderstorms which produced hail during the morning hours of Saturday, March 27th. The main story, however, was the flooding that occurred after the rounds of heavy rain Saturday night into Sunday.
Began near Belcraft (37.1292, -82.8338).
