The combination of a lifting warm front and a quickly progressing cold front produced heavy rainfall over central Georgia and hail-producing thunderstorms over northeast Georgia from the afternoon of April 23rd through the early morning hours of April 24th. ||Enhanced rainfall fell south of the I-20 corridor, with rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches. These amounts combined with rainfall from earlier in the week to trigger additional flooding in areas where water had only begun to subside.
