A surface trof helped trigger showers and thunderstorms with torrential downpours during the morning of the 9th in northwestern New Jersey. Event totals reached 2 to 6 inches in western portions of Warren and particularly Sussex County and caused flash flooding of smaller streams as well as poor drainage flooding.  The runoff from the heavy rain caused the Delaware River water levels to be higher than average. The next day (the 10th) a 30-year-old man drowned in the river while tubing with about 10 other people off of Kingwood in Hunterdon County. They were tubing across the river toward Tinicum in Bucks County when he went into the river. Investigators say he was about fifteen feet from the shoreline when he fell off the tube and went missing. Divers searching for the body over the next week were hampered by the high water levels and poor visibilities and additional heavy rain. His body was apparently found on August 31st on a small island in the Delaware River. Lower Makefield (Bucks County) police were called to a report of a body on an island one mile north of the Calhoun Street Bridge.

Low level moisture remained in place as an upper trough started to exit the region. Eastern New Mexico was in the southeastern quadrant of a 100 knot jet moving through the northern plains which aided in lift across the region. Weak flow in the lower and mid levels kept storms moving very slowly allowing for locally heavy rain to occur over the Sacramento Mountains which already had saturated soil from over 5 inches of rain over the previous days.

An upper level disturbance interacted with a stationary frontal boundary over eastern New Mexico to produce widespread showers and thunderstorms.  Thunderstorms developed initially over the northern high terrain during the early afternoon hours and expanded in coverage and intensity by late afternoon as they moved eastward onto the adjacent highlands. A north to south oriented line of strong to severe storms developed along the Interstate 25 corridor from Las Vegas to Maxwell and eventually extended into Raton. These storms strengthened even further as they pushed into Quay County where penny to nickel size hail was reported. Quarter size hail was reported in Guadalupe County.

A stalled frontal boundary was located across southwest Virginia.  In advance of this frontal boundary was an extremely moist air mass with precipitable water values around 2.0 inches that had persisted across the region much of the later half of July.  In addition, a persistent upper-level trough was noted across the eastern U.S. with a strong subtropical ridge in the western U.S.  The combination of these factors contributed to yet another afternoon/evening of pulse thunderstorms that persisted well after midnight in areas of local wind convergence.  Rainfall rates were excessive, and exceeded four inches in a four hour or less period across parts of Halifax county causing some small creeks and streams to flow out of their banks.  This event began during the last hour of the day on July 31, 2013.
