Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms occurred across North Central Alabama from the afternoon of June 7th through the evening of June 8th. The activity was the result several upper-level disturbances moving over a slow moving surface front. Some storms were strong to severe at times with damaging wind gusts, as well as large hail. Many of these thunderstorms went on to evolve into clusters that were slow moving, or nearly stationary at times. The slow moving or training nature of these thunderstorms, along with torrential rainfall rates, led to flash flooding. The most significant flash flooding occurred on the morning of June 8th.  Slow moving thunderstorms produced near six inches of rain in areas such as Birmingham and Sylacauga. Some additional flash flooding occurred on the evening of June 8th across portions of Birmingham. In total, the Birmingham International Airport measured 6.97 of rainfall on June 8th, breaking the daily rainfall record and placing this as the 6th highest daily rainfall ever recorded at Birmingham.
