| episode_narrative | A low pressure system developed over the lower Tennessee Valley the morning of the 24th and moved northeast passing through the eastern Great Lakes by the morning of the 25th. It tapped moisture over the Gulf of Mexico and Western Atlantic and produced heavy rain across Southeast Pennsylvania. The heaviest rain fell from the evening of the 24th through the pre-dawn hours on the 25th. Storm totals averaged one inch to one and a half inches. The ground was still saturated from the heavy rains of the previous month and this led to the flooding of some of the streams and creeks in Southeast Pennsylvania along with the usual urban and poor drainage flooding.In Chester County, the East Branch of the Brandywine Creek at Downingtown was above its 7 foot flood stage from 230 a.m. through 830 a.m. EST on the 25th.
