The wider storm

Increase in moisture, remnants of a cold front to our north and a nearby prefrontal surface trough approached the islands and sinked southward, creating favorable weather

conditions for unsettled weather and above normal moisture. These wet and unstable conditions promoted showery weather for the first half of that week. Flooding, Flash Flooding and Landslides were reported.
