An upper level storm system approached the region on the fifth into the morning hours of the sixth bringing widespread heavy rainfall and thunderstorms to the region. At the same time, a cold front moved through the area with significant moist ascent above the frontal zone. Most of the rainfall occurred within only a two hours period early in the morning on the sixth but was enough to cause flash flooding around the area. Several area roadways became inundated by water and impassable.
