Read the full account →Low pressure tracked into the Ohio Valley before transferring its energy to a coastal low along the Mid-Atlantic Coast. The coastal low intensified as it moved to the northeast. At the same time, high pressure was located to the north.
Read the full account →An upper-level low became cut-off over the southern Appalachian region for several days leading to persistent rainfall and eventually some flooding.

Read the full account →Late afternoon thunderstorms developed along the southwest Virginia Blue Ridge and drifted southward into the foothills and piedmont producing intense rainfall over fairly saturated ground and causing some significant flash flooding and debris flows in parts of Franklin, Floyd…
Read the full account →An intense low pressure system passing through southwest Virginia early on the 13th inflicted flooding across portions of Dickenson County. Numerous road closures resulted from high water festering over the roadways through the morning rush hours.
Read the full account →A strong cold front extending from a complex surface low pressure system, brought intense thunderstorms which produced damaging winds and very heavy rain on April 12-13. The heavy rains resulted from a deep plume of tropical moisture lifted northward ahead of the cold front.
