The persistence of a frontal boundary in the Ohio Valley region didn't bring a ton of rain to the region, but an unusual streak of rainfall did occur.  The record number of consecutive days with at least a tenth of inch of rainfall all-time stands at 9 straight days for Louisville, Lexington, and Frankfort (8 for Bowling Green).  Louisville has come the closest to tying or breaking the record, but it looks like it will fall just one day short as dry weather is expected today.

 

Below is a map of the total rainfall over the region in the last 7 days.
