Summary:
Behind the departing trough, westerly flow overspread the state, resulting in mostly sunny and dry conditions for most. The exception to this was over the far Northeast Plains where easterly flow fought back against the westerly winds. Not only did this result in surface convergence, which acted as a trigger for isolated thunderstorms, but it also allowed for moisture to maintain a foothold in the far eastern portion of the state. Isolated activity was able to tap into this moisture, producing brief periods of moderate-to-heavy rainfall. No flash flooding or severe weather was reported.
