US-250 closed due to flooding in the City of Staunton.

The wider storm

Plenty of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico combined with a boundary to trigger showers and thunderstorms. A light flow aloft that was nearly unidirectional caused some showers and thunderstorms to train over the same areas, which led to instances of flooding and flash flooding.
