Ahead of a slow moving cold front, a southerly flow transported plenty of moisture into the region during the day on Tuesday, June 3rd.  With a moist and unstable air mass in place, plenty of slow moving showers and thunderstorms developed ahead of the approaching boundary.  Some of these thunderstorms produced very heavy rain in a short period of time.  This led to some flash flooding, especially in urban and poor drainage areas.  In addition, a few of the thunderstorms also produced strong wind gusts, which caused damage to trees and power lines.  By the late evening, the threat for thunderstorms ended, as the frontal boundary pushed through and less humid air moved into the region.
