kevlon62 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Quite a feed of precipitation looks to continue streaming out of Iowa into at least some corridors in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Got 0.81" yesterday morning, then 1.04" last evening, then a nasty storm just popped up and dropped torrential rain in addition to the most vivid lightning and thunder of the year. It appears we got another inch or more so we're near 3 inches for the last 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc2man13 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 FML this isn't good...we needed a droughtbuster. I guess I should be careful for what I wish for. I have stayed up just to monitor things as the flooding is starting to get severe here. The Edens between Tower and Lake is completely flooded out in both directions and many local roadways are in the area as well. Since the deluge started, we have received 4.84 inches of rain as per weatherbug. That is on top of the inch we got this morning and with redevelopment in Iowa, this could be a near record breaking event for the northern suburbs/north side of the city. Hang tight guys.

Not saying there will be a repeat but radar right now is a little reminiscent of that event last year that dumped like 9" at Midway. Definitely starting to feel more and more like that flood event from last summer.. July I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Just went out and checked the gauge. We got another 1.53" from 1:30-2:30am, putting the 24 hour total at 3.38". It's dry and calm now, but there is even more heavy stuff developing west of Waterloo. It's moving east now, but so far tonight everything has been shifting/building southward even as the cells move eastward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger question does the greatest 24 hour rainfall record get broken, and seeing as there is more convection to the west and more convection in the forecast for today and tonight.

A-L-E-K Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Well, this thread has delivered, i was out and about but checking in on my phone all night, but we really got smoked for a period there with some serious bangers, some of my favorite weather, deep convection, little chance of severe. Our drought lasted about 2 days and the despite the initial flash flood, the ground is soaking things up nicely. Looks like another band of showers with some intense convection will push through before the llj retreats for the day. After that, things get less clear as the front has become muddy and there's a lot of mesoscale features in play, but another round tonights, maybe even two are possible. .
