Read the full account →Several hours of widespread moderate to heavy rain caused flooding and flash flooding across parts of western North Carolina, especially across the mountains.
Read the full account →A wet period developed from April 23-25 as an upper level low over the southeastern U.S. slowly tracked toward the Atlantic coast. Rainfall was persistent during this period with sustained south to southeasterly flow with the heaviest rains falling in the 24-hour period ending…
Read the full account →Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed along a southward sinking outflow boundary in a very moist atmosphere, characterized by a weak westerly steering flow. This resulted in training showers and storms producing heavy rainfall.

Read the full account →The remnants of Tropical Storm Fay moved slowly up the west side of the Appalachian mountains and interacted with a frontal boundary just to our south. Some upslope enhancement occurred allowing 5-10 inches of rain to fall.
Read the full account →Waves of rain showers developing in the vicinity of a stationary front and in response to very moist upslope flow resulted in heavy rainfall along and near the southern Blue Ridge escarpment from the 12th into the early morning of the 13th, with as much as 4 inches of rain…
Read the full account →An outflow-augmented back-door cold front, served as the foci for a slow northeast to southwest moving cluster of storms and torrential rainfall across the northern Piedmont and northern Coastal Plain counties.
Read the full account →A cold front moving into the region helped trigger showers and thunderstorms across the Blue Ridge and foothills of North Carolina. The storms were slow movers and heavy rain producers.
