Event narrative

Mill Pond Road was closed due to high flowing water from Cove Creek being out of its banks.

Wider weather episode

More heavy rain occurred due to plenty of moisture and lift around the Blue Ridge Mountains of central Virginia. The ground was already saturated due to previous rainfall, so this led to more instances of flooding and flash flooding.
