A negatively tilted trough approached the area on the 24th as surface low pressure tracked up toward the Great Lakes and secondary low pressure formed along the Carolina Coast. Lift ahead of the negatively tilted trough/within the left exit region of an upper-level jet streak led to a period of moderate to heavy rain through much of the day on the 24th. Rainfall totals were generally between 1-2 inches across the area, resulting in many instances of flooding.
