A stalled surface front on June 4th near the North Carolina-Virginia border became the focus for heavy rainfall and embedded thunderstorms. Several severe storms developed along the boundary. These storms produced some high winds and penny-sized hail along with the heavy rain. Precipitation was heaviest over the southeast portion of the forecast area with a widespread 2 to 4 inches of rain over southern Pittsylvania and much of Halifax counties. Another 2 to 3.5 inches fell across parts of Patrick, Henry and Franklin counties. A number of roads were closed due to flooding although there was no serious damage reported.
