Overview

Very heavy rainfall occurred across portions of northwest Ohio and northeast Indiana from the afternoon of May 24th to the early morning hours of May 25th.  A corridor of 3 to 6 inches of storm total rainfall occurred from western Van Wert county Ohio to central Allen county Indiana, with localized amounts of 6 to 8 inches across southwest Van Wert county.  This very heavy rainfall led to flooding and flash flooding, along with significant rises on some area rivers. The event of May 24th and May 25th is a continuation of a very active pattern recently, with above normal precipitation over the past month across much of northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio.
