A ridge of high pressure had built over the southeast states late in June. Meanwhile, tropical air was trapped under the ridge axis across the southeast states. Flow through the mid levels of the atmosphere was almost non-existent, resulting in numerous slow-moving showers and thunderstorms, that produced torrential rainfall in areas they traversed. Flooding events on the 25th were all produced by deep convection that stayed in the same area until the cells had rained themselves out.
