As a cold front moved south into the region and stalled, a series of upper level disturbances moved through the area with broad southwest flow and moist conditions. As the boundary became oriented parallel to the upper level winds, training bands of convection set up, particularly across southwest Georgia where flash flooding and areal flooding occurred. Radar estimated that rainfall amounts of 8-10 inches occurred in a swath from Early county northeastward to Ben Hill county.
