Southerly deep layer flow in the atmosphere provided a feed for abundant tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico to the northeast. Soils remained very moist from previous heavy rainfall that began in late May and continued through early July. Showers and thunderstorms developed in the summertime heat, and flash flooding developed from excessive runoff.
