| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A prolonged, widespread heavy rainfall event was associated with a cold front that moved very slowly east across the Lower Ohio Valley. The front became the focus for heavy rain as it nearly stalled across western Kentucky and southwest Indiana. Abundant moisture moved northeast along and just behind the front. This moisture interacted with a series of upper level disturbances to further increase heavy rainfall. A very large and persistent area of moderate rain caused a slow but steady rise in water levels. In the Ohio River counties, rainfall amounts averaged about two inches every 12 hours, resulting in storm-totals from 3 to 5 inches. Small creeks, streams, and ditches reached or exceeded bankful. Numerous roads susceptible to high water problems were flooded. Water levels continued to rise, even after the rain ended. The specific rainfall totals for the entire event from Dec. 3-6 included 4.22 inches at Dixon Springs (Pope County), 4.66 at Grand Chain (Pulaski County), and 4.90 at Round Knob (central Massac County). |
