A meso-scale boundary along the North Carolina-Virginia state line sparked a complex of slow moving convection that produced 4 to 5 inches of rain and isolated flash flooding across Person County. This complex then moved southward into the Triangle region around midnight, where it produced another 3 to 4 inch swath of rain over the Raleigh-Durham Metro area. This heavy rainfall led to numerous reports of flash flooding within the Raleigh urban area, with multiple water rescues. Additionally, with saturated soils, the thunderstorms also produced scattered wind damage across the Raleigh metro.
