An unusual weather pattern became established around the 25th with very strong high pressure building across New England and low pressure over the southeastern U.S. combining to bring strong easterly flow into the southern Mid-Atlantic along with abundant moisture. Rainfall ending 12z on the 25th was generally confined to the southern portions of the HSA with up to 1 inch in parts of the North Carolina piedmont. The rains became much heavier and widespread over the next two days with 1 to 4 inches ending at 12z on the 26th and another 1 to nearly 5 inches ending at 12z on the 27th. Over the next five days rainfall was nearly constant in some areas with pulses of heavier rainfall but with the heaviest amounts concentrating across the NC mountains and out into the piedmont as well. 5-day rainfall totals across parts of NW NC ending at 12z on the 30th ranged from 6 to nearly 10 inches in parts of Alleghany County. The most serious flooding occurred early on the 29th as heavier rainfall moved across parts of Rockingham County with lesser amounts over parts of Caswell and Stokes counties. The AWOS gage at Reidsville (KSIF) picked up 1.03 in 1-hour ending around 2 AM.
