A very moist frontal system produced heavy rain across the region resulting in flooding. Rain rates of 0.3 to 0.5 inch per hour was observed for several hours at many locations. The flooding was a combination of urban and small stream flooding and river flooding. The coastal rivers were already running high from a moist front that moved through a couple of days prior, and the additional rain was enough to push several of them above flood stage.
