The interaction of two mesoscale features produced areas of concentrated heavy rainfall and flash flooding across central Alabama. A Mesoscale Convective Vortex moving eastward from southern Mississippi collided with a sea-breeze front moving northward from the Gulf Coast. Precipitable water values were near 2.5 inches which resulted in highly efficient rainfall rates.
