Wider weather episode

The combination of an impressive tropical airmass (precipitable water values of 2.00-2.50 inches) and deep forcing for ascent produced a large area of very heavy rainfall across southeast Georgia. Rain began in the evening hour and continued through the morning with periods of intense rainfall within thunderstorms. Rainfall totals from the event ranged as high as 8-12 inches, with the greatest amounts impacting interior southeast Georgia including Tattnall, Candler, Evans, Bulloch, Screven, and Jenkins counties. The intense rainfall produced widespread minor flooding in these areas, with the most impactful flooding occurring in Bulloch County where a few instances of flash flooding were reported.
