An upper level disturbance moved across the region in advance of an approaching cold front. This system helped to generate showers and storms across the area. One of these storms increased to severe levels and produced damaging winds that blew large tree limbs down in Big Island. Other showers and storms produced up to two inches of rain on average in a short period of time near the border of Craig and Montgomery Counties. Flash flooding ensued in both counties with a localized 4.5 inch rainfall
