Tropical moisture with dewpoint temperatures in the low to mid 70s prevailed over most of Georgia in advance of an upper level trough. An associated cold front ahead of the trough moved through Georgia producing numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms primarily over central and south sections of the state. Thunderstorms with heavy rain trained over central Toombs county with up to 6 inches of rain in around 4 hours. This caused flash flooding on some of the creeks and several private ponds
