A strong storm system led to significant impacts. Heavy rainfall amounts of 3 to 4.5 inches produced sporadic flash flooding with a few road closures. Creeks and small rivers such as the Skillet Fork rose above flood stage. Strong wind gusts occurred, ranging between 40 and 56 mph. Nearly all of these were associated with a strong pressure gradient around a deep low pressure center. The exception was a few damaging thunderstorm wind gusts in Massac County in the southern tip of the state. There was scattered damage to trees and power lines across southern Illinois. Soggy ground due to the excessive rainfall likely contributed to some trees being more susceptible to being blown over. Scattered power outages occurred. Finally, the lowest barometric pressure of all-time was observed in Paducah, KY (977.7 mb) and Evansville, IN (976.0 mb). The center of the intense low tracked from the bootheel of extreme southeast Missouri northeast right along the Ohio River. Strong northwest winds occurred on the back side of the low pressure system across southern Illinois.
