Flash Flood in Pulaski County, Georgia

The Pulaski County emergency manager reported ditches overflowed a portion of Buck Creek Road east of Klondike with two feet of water and flooded a residential yard. A portion of Georgia Highway 26 near Browndale had erosion damage due to an overflowing culvert.

The strong upper high remained over the Plains and desert Southwest, with a weak upper low across the Bahamas and an upper trough over Canada. A weak surface front was in place as well, stretching from the Great Lakes to the mid-Mississippi Valley. A shortwave in the flow pushed southeast during the day, pushing the upper high to the west and the front to the south. Once again, with ample moisture in place, showers and thunderstorms developed in the afternoon, lingering into the overnight hours. Several thunderstorms produced flash flooding, and several became severe with trees blown down.
