What happened
The episode as NWS RLX wrote it up.
The total monthly precipitation was 4 to 8 inches, about twice the norm. Near Patriot of Gallia County, 7.5 inches was measured, while amounts of 5 to 6 inches were more widespread. With temperatures 3 to 5 degrees above normal, most of the precipitation fell as rain. However, no major river flooding occurred. The dry weather during late summer and autumn had left the ground water low and the top soil dry. The rains of January certainly replenished the surface water supply.
