The wider storm

Upslope winds on the east side of the Blue Ridge just north of an approaching warm front aided in producing torrential rainfall and catastrophic flooding in parts of Central Virginia. Rainfall amounts of 4-10 inches occurred north and west of Charlottesville. Later in the evening, heavy rain developed in northern Virginia, with 1-3 inches in the southern and western suburbs of Washington DC, as well as again near Harrisonburg. This produced another round of flooding and some flash flooding that actually continued into June 1st. June Storm Data will contain those details when available.

Began near Harrisonburg (38.4376, -78.8445).
