What the National Weather Service wrote

Lincoln Co dispatch reported flooding on Augusta Hwy (State Road 47) near State Road 220. Exact location and times estimated.

The wider storm

An upper trough, along with a very moist atmosphere, contributed to a band of heavy showers and thunderstorms that set up in an area of low level moisture convergence just east of a slow moving surface low, leading to heavy rain and flash flooding. Rainfall amounts of 4 to 6 inches, most of which fell over the course of a few hours, led to some roads flooding and washing out.

Began near New Hope (33.7626, -82.4038).
