A cold front stalled across across central and eastern portions of North Carolina on the 25th of September. In the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere, a closed low pressure was digging across western Tennessee. The slow moving upper low would cause a series of low pressure waves to ride along the stalled frontal zone, while also advecting copious amounts of tropical moisture into the region. Central North Carolina received 2 to 5 inches of widespread rainfall on the 26th, but because of ongoing severe drought conditions, no flooding occurred.  After a lull on the 27th and 28th, a second upper level low developed over western Tennessee once again. This acted to pull the stationary boundary and moisture conveyor back to the west, as well as pick up remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole. Central North Carolina saw an additional 3 to 6 inches on the 29th and 30th. The combined rainfall of 6 to 10 inches from the 26th through the 30th of September resulted in flashing flooding and minor river flooding.
