Episode Narrative A strong upper level wave moved across the area during the afternoon. The lift created by this wave combined with moderate to strong instability over the region, produced widespread showers and thunderstorms. Enough dry air was present in the low and mid levels to allow for strong downbursts of winds to occur with many of these storms. A few storms also brought large hail.
Event Narrative Heavy rain of 2 to 4 inches in a few hours caused areas of flash flooding across Ferrum.
