• elevated convection
• flash flooding
• jet coupling
• jet synergy

A brief case study is provided of a striking example of vertical and horizontal jet coupling associated with the upper jet level as well as upper- and lower-level jet coupling; these jet interactions also supported the development of elevated convection and led to flash flooding. The case constitutes a faithful, real-world verification of what has been suggested in idealized conceptual models by several investigators for similar situations of elevated convection with excessive precipitation.
