An outflow-augmented back-door cold front, served as the foci for a slow northeast to southwest moving cluster of storms and torrential rainfall across the northern Piedmont and northern Coastal Plain counties. The heaviest rainfall of 3 to 5 inches fell across North Raleigh, which caused Crabtree Creek to flood. Multiple road closures were reported in northwest Raleigh and several cars were stranded in a flooded road.
