Wider weather episode

An upper level system moved across the area very slowly on March 29th. The flow pattern in the upper levels were quite conducive for sustained thunderstorm growth. Add in ample moisture in place to produce moderate to heavy rain and the environment was prime for producing flash flooding. Training thunderstorms in the Baton Rouge Metro area resulted in flash flooding.
