A shortwave riding along a frontal boundary produced heavy rainfall over north Georgia on the morning of July 10. Rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches were common over northwest Georgia, with portions of Floyd county receiving above 4 inches. Although convective activity diminished into the pre-dawn hours as this system moved southward into Atlanta, it was not before flash flooding was reported in the city of Rome.
