| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A deep upper-level trough moved slowly across the central and eastern U.S. bringing abundant moisture northward and combined with a complex frontal boundary with several waves of low pressure to bring repeated rounds of heavy rainfall. Rainfall totals for the 72-hour period ending at 700 AM EST on February 7th ranged from 2 to 6 inches with isolated higher amounts along the Blue Ridge Mountains, but most of the rain fell within a 48-hour period. Numerous NWS Cooperative stations reported record one-day February rainfall amounts ending on the morning of February 6th and/or the 7th and numerous two-day all-time February records were also set. Some flash flooding occurred early during the event as higher rates of rainfall were embedded within the overall rain pattern. Numerous rivers and streams flooded, some reaching crests in the 25- to 50-year flood recurrence interval and many roads were flooded with significant damage to some infrastructure. |
