An upper level trough continued to dominate the eastern portion of the country on the 20th, but with ridging beginning to build in aloft. A shortwave pushed across the Southeast late in the evening, sparking numerous showers and thunderstorms. Nearly stationary thunderstorms produced heavy rain over portions of Heard and Troup Counties. Rainfall amounts of 4 to 8 inches occurred primarily just southeast of Franklin. This caused flash flooding on streams and creeks flowing into the Chattahoochee
