    Frontal Focusing of a Flooding Rainstorm

    Abstract: A heavy rainstorm over Kentucky, producing extensive flooding, was concentrated in a narrow band oriented nearly zonally just south of the Ohio River. Analysis of routine surface observations showed that an intense quasi-stationary surface front formed during the 24-h period of heaviest rainfall. This front was parallel to the rainband and was some distance to the south of it. Horizontal temperature gradients reached more than 20°F over 110 km. Analysis of sea level pressure showed that geostrophic deformation was present in a small region ahead of each of two small centers of low pressure that migrated eastward along the front. Vertical cross sections normal to the front showed that conditional upright and symmetric stabilities were small or negative in the frontal updraft. It was inferred from this that the frontal updraft was unusually intense and narrow, qualitatively consistent with the intensity of the rainband.
