| Episode Narrative | A couple of upper level disturbances that passed over the region on the 15th and 16th interacted with a very warm and humid air mass allowing several severe thunderstorms to develop each afternoon. Damage due to strong winds and hail occurred as a result of these storms, in addition to some flash flooding that occurred due to slow storm motions. |
| Event Narrative | Six to eight inches of water was covering a 100 yard stretch of County Road 3122. |
