A low pressure system that developed along a cold frontal boundary brought showers and thunderstorms with very heavy downpours to the Eastern Shore, especially during the first half of the day into the early afternoon on the 12th. This caused flash flooding in parts of Queen Anne's, Caroline and Talbot Counties and poor drainage flooding in other parts of the Eastern Shore. Doppler Radar storm total estimates reached 3 to 7 inches in sections of the latter counties.
