Ample moisture from the Gulf of Mexico combined with a weak upper disturbance to produce heavy rainfall and flash flooding in northwest Georgia June 4th and into June 5th. Precipitable water values were near record levels for early June, and efficient storms quickly produced widespread 3 to 6 inches of rainfall over the far northwest Georgia counties.
