Event narrative

Route 17 closed eastbound due to water at least 12 inches deep flowing across the road.

Wider weather episode

A weak area of low pressure interacted with an anomalously moist airmass and stalled frontal boundary. This spawned showers and thunderstorms that resulted in localized amounts of one to five inches of rain. The higher amounts were where storms trained or stalled.
