Several waves of low pressure moved across the area as an upper level low closed off over the southeastern U.S. The rainfall persisted from late on the 21st through early on the 25th with mainly moderate rates (0.10��� to 0.25��� per hour) as the upper low drifted very slowly eastward from the lower Mississippi Valley toward the southeast. Storm total rainfall amounts were generally 2 to 4 inches across the Greenbrier, New and Bluestone river basins, with lower amounts further north.
