A slow moving area of upper level low pressure over the Mid-Mississippi Valley continued to pump semi-tropical moisture into the western Carolinas resulting in another round of locally heavy rainfall across Upstate South Carolina. Heavy rainfall of 2 to 4 inches over the span of a few hours on an already wet ground resulted in flash flooding developing along the Reedy River in the city of Greenville.
