The first storm began in the Gulf of Mexico and travelled through western North Carolina between July 8–10. Weather stations in the French Broad Watershed—in Brevard, Henderson, and Asheville—reported 5.53, 5.86, and 3.70 inches of rain, respectively, during this time.
The first storm carried enough rain to raise the French Broad River to 8.8 feet on July 11—4.8 feet above flood stage—but it did not cause extensive flooding. By July 15, the water level had fallen back to 4.0 feet.
