Event narrative

Newberry county official reported a downed tree on Deadfall Road and Highway 395 with a resulting car accident. No injuries reported.

Wider weather episode

A stalled boundary across central South Carolina, combined with extremely high precipitable water values lead to a series of training thunderstorms and flash flooding. Skinny instability and unidirectional flow aloft caused the line of storms to move parallel to the boundary with widespread 2-3 inch per hour rates for several hours in the central Midlands. Saturated soils and some sub-severe gusty outflow winds knocked several trees down in Newberry county.
