Flash Flood — Bamberg, SC

Jul 14, 2025

A weak surface trough developed through the day, triggering scattered thunderstorm. Due to weak bulk shear and mixed layer CAPE over 3000 J/kg, just an isolated storm was able to reach severe limits and produce heavy rainfall during the day. In addition, light steering flow allowed the storm to move slow enough to produce flash flooding.
