Deep moisture associated with a low pressure system produced widespread showers and thunderstorms over north and central Georgia on June 8. Widespread rainfall amounts of 2 to 5 inches were common along and just north of the I-20 corridor, with isolated higher amounts to 6.5 inches. These heavy rainfall amounts, combined with already wet conditions, produced isolated flash flooding.
