episode_narrativeA low pressure system moved into the Ohio Valley the morning of the 23rd. A series of weak secondary low pressure systems developed along this primary low's cold front. Not only did this prolong the rain through the evening of the 23rd, but also helped it fall heavy at times especially during the afternoon on the 23rd. Storm totals averaged between 1.25 inches and 2.50 inches across Delaware with the highest amounts in the northern part of the state. This caused the usual poor drainage flooding in low-lying areas. In New Castle County, ponding of water on underpasses on U.S. Routes 13 and 40 caused back-ups during the evening commute. Storm totals included 2.77 inches in Wilmington, 2.51 inches at the New Castle County Airport, 1.86 inches in Dover and 1.24 inches in Georgetown.
