| episode_narrative | The combination of heavy rain during the first half of the day on the 11th and additional runoff from the melting snow produced widespread poor drainage flooding in the Lehigh Valley and Carbon County. Storm totals averaged between one and three inches. In Lehigh County, Spring Creek road was closed in Lower Macungie Township. In Northampton County, flooding along Lehigh Drive closed the roadway for most of the daytime hours in Easton. In Lower Saucon Township, the loosened soil caused several trees to topple. About 17,000 homes and businesses lost power. Storm totals included 2.70 inches in Forks Township (Northampton County), 2.20 inches in Easton (Northampton County), 1.85 inches in Lehighton (Carbon County) and 1.28 inches at the Lehigh Valley International Airport. The heavy rain was caused by an intense low pressure system at both the surface and aloft that developed over the Southern Plains on the 9th. The primary low pressure system moved toward the Great Lakes on the morning of the 10th while a secondary low pressure system was forming near the upper air support over the Tennessee Valley. This secondary low pressure system continued to intensify and was located over North Carolina the evening of the 10th, near Philadelphia around 7 a.m. EST on the 11th and in western Connecticut early in the evening on the 11th. This secondary low pressure system helped wring the moisture in the atmosphere from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean onto the region. |
