A slow moving cold front moved into the area during the evening of the 12th into the overnight and early morning hours of the 13th. Moisture pooling ahead of the cold front caused instability to increase in addition to added atmospheric moisture. Showers and thunderstorms developed, and some trained over the same areas resulting in instances of flooding and flash flooding. Central and northeastern Maryland were the areas hardest hit, where moisture and instability was highest.

Began near Leahigh (39.3732, -76.6898).
