Moisture from the Gulf of Mexico combined with a dynamic frontal system to produce a prolonged period of moderate to heavy rain across northeast Georgia throughout the third and into the morning of the fourth. By the time the rain tapered off, 3 to 4.5 inches had fallen across much of the Piedmont. This resulted in flooding along Beaverdam Creek in Elbert County.
