The combination of daytime heating and an approaching upper level trough led to scattered thunderstorm development on the afternoon and evenings of the 26th, 27th and 28th. While these storms were slow moving, most moved enough to limit flooding. However, several storms stalled out or kept regenerating over one spot, leading to flash flooding.
