What happened
The episode as NWS RAH wrote it up.
Deep tropical moisture remained over North Carolina at the end of September. Several days of scattered thunderstorms had saturated the ground in the Piedmont once again. The approach of a strong cold front was finally going to end our wet spell. However, the associated warm front with the system produced a persistent area of thunderstorms which flooded many low lying areas and secondary roads.
The radar
The Raleigh/Durham radar (KRAX), 133 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 16:04 UTC.
Event by event
