Event narrative

Highway 127 flooded between Goodyear and Bojangles.

Surface high pressure was sitting over the Lower Ohio Valley, but as an upper shortwave and trough passed overhead, it provided the forcing to drive slow moving efficient rainfall. This produced a couple reports of isolated flooding over the two day period.
