Plentiful moisture and a couple of weak surface troughs lingered over central North Carolina after the passage of tropical storm Elsa. Saturated ground was present as a result of two to five inches of rain over the eastern Piedmont into Virginia. Storms developed over the northwest foothills early in the afternoon and tracked east into the early evening hours over central North Carolina. Most storms were marginally severe but some reports included trees down across portions of the region. Antecedent soil conditions likely aided some of the downed trees.
