A stalled frontal boundary and anomalously moist air mass produced high rainfall amounts for several days, beginning June 19th. Multiple waves of precipitation including many training storms dropped high rainfall amounts over the metro Atlanta area and along the I-20 corridor. Rainfall amounts were generally 4-6 inches, with isolated amounts approaching 8 inches. Flash flooding resulted, especially within the Nancy Creek, North Fork Peachtree Creek and Yellow River basins.
