A strong cold front pushed through the area during the evening Dec 24th. An area of low pressure formed along this front and slid across the region. This brought some heavy showers to the region, and even a few isolated thunderstorms. Several instances of flooding resulted from this event. There were then a few large stem rivers that crept up to flood stage in the couple of days following the main event.
