Heavy rain showers and thunderstorms developed over central NC in association with a series of disturbances moving through the long wave trough aloft. Deep moist advection and unidirectional flow through the atmosphere resulted in training of heavy rain and thunderstorms. Saturated antecedent conditions contributed to the flash flooding that occurred as a result of the training storms. A cluster of storms became severe during the afternoon, resulting in sporadic downed trees and power lines while other marginally severe storms resulted in numerous downed trees and power lines due to saturated ground.
