Severe Weather & Heavy Rain/Flooding

A strong mesoscale convective system (MCS) tracked through the southern Ohio Valley during the evening hours on the 17th into the early morning hours on the 18th. Strong straight-line winds resulted in numerous reports of trees downed across the southern part of Ohio and northern Kentucky. Additionally, very heavy rain rates resulted in renewed flooding and flash flooding, continuing the stretch of very wet weather across much of the Ohio Valley.
