North Liberty Street was flooded near a small stream out of its banks north of Harrisonburg. Jefferson Street near Madison Street was also closed due to high water.

The wider storm

A warm front moved northward across the Mid-Atlantic region and southerly flow transported moisture into the region. Breaks in sunshine led to increased instability and showers and thunderstorms formed and produced very heavy rain that led to flooding.
