What the National Weather Service wrote

Although heavy rainfall tapered off across northern Union County during late morning, high water conditions continued across mainly the Crooked Creek basin as runoff from the earlier rainfall continued to result in elevated stream levels and flows.

The wider storm

A cluster of thunderstorms developed across the North Carolina Piedmont during the morning in advance of a cold front. The relative slow movement of the cluster resulted in heavy-to-torrential rainfall that continued for a couple of hours along the Mecklenburg/Union County line, with flash flooding developing across northern Union County.

Began near Indian Trail (35.1040, -80.6720).
