A series of classic flash floods developed across the higher terrain of northern and central Madison County over the weekend of the 29th and 30th. Strong, southeast upslope flow with an Atlantic tropical trajectory clashed with abundant tropical moisture streaming in from the south and west, thus anchoring cells over the same areas for several hours in a very light mean wind flow.
