| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong cold front associated with a negatively tilted shortwave upper trough approached the region on October 23rd. Precipitable water rose to near excessive levels for the time of year with 1.44��� on the 12z (8 AM EDT)/23 RNK (Blacksburg) and 1.57��� on the 12z (8 AM EDT) GSO (Greensboro) soundings, with sea-level values of 1.75��� to 2���. These are roughly three standard deviations above the late October climatology and near all-time maxima for the date. Enhanced rainfall rates due to decent instability (for late October) were also expected to develop. Moderate rainfall of 1 to 2 inches had already fall ahead of a cold front that approached in the mid-afternoon. Flood impacts began to occur quickly as the higher rate rainfall moved into the area. The IFLOWS rain gage at Sandy Flats (SDRN7) just southwest of Boone had 2.73��� in a 2-hour period ending at 400 PM, close to a 10-year (0.1 AEP) annual recurrence interval. Flooding was described as 'historic' by some observers ranking close to that seen in Hurricane Hugo in 1989. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | At the Jefferson 2 E COOP (JFRN7) 4.25 fell in 24 hours ending 12z on the 24th for the 4th highest October daily rainfall, with records dating back to 1896. Most of the rain fell in about a 12-hour period ending near midnight on the 24th. |
