Chitown Storm Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 man, this truly is going to be a complete flooding event overnight. Storms keep firing in northern MO and Southern IA. Lightning intensity is growing as well. With the warm front bound to start making its way north, there's really no end in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Some serous disconnect right now between the frequency of this lightning and the intensity of the rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjwise Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Two successive extratropical storms with this much moisture hitting two weeks in a row is impressive. Even on the outer periphery of the action ("only" a few inches of rain) in SE Michigan, it's been extremely interesting to watch it unfold. DTW has not recorded a 0.00 precip day since 4/6! ETA: Even the crapvection is giving a nice light show here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm scheduled to fly out of O'Hare at 8am tomorrow morning into Denver....the 2 airports in the U.S. with EXTREME delays. Flooding here, blizzard there. What are my chances of making it out? With all the rain and low vis here, I'll say 25% chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 2.44" for the day now here. Steady moderate rain. If those storms to the south make it in here later tonight it could start to get pretty serious around here. Up to 7" even for the month. Rock River now expected to crest at 18.7', which is only a half foot below record crest. According to the chart on the NWS, the water would have to reach 20-21' to start impacting Erie.

Natester Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Key Contributing factors to the Historic Flooding of 2008: Heavy winter snow (from late 2007 through early 2008) + Significant flooding in April 2008 (resulting in high river levels) + Extremely moist soils (continuing through May) + Heavy June rains => Historic flooding Although we did not have heavy winter snow this winter, this april has been extremely wet. This does not bode well for area rivers in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 1.39" here so far this evening. Can't wait for the "real stuff" to arrive. Thank goodness I live in one of the highest points in the county. I'll say it is a good thing considering the record they are forecasting for the Grand River. Pretty impressive stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty sure that 11.9' crest was in the summer of 04 - I believe. No, it wasn't: 09/27/1986. 05/25/2004 made it to 11.76'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intense Yeah I'm wondering if they're going off of only what's already fallen, or what may additionally fall. I'm guessing they project what may fall based off of HPC and combine it with what has already fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Up to 2.60", with heavy thunderstorms moving in from eastern Iowa. More storms continue to develop over northern Missouri. It's now been thundering almost 18hrs in a row, at varying intensities. Mostly slow, distant type rumbles the last few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 River drive in east moline/ moline on the lower parts has already been taken over by the mississippi river. I know since I saw it this evening. This is shaping up to be pretty serious here in the metro quad cities. I don't know if we'll hit a record crest but it might be close. A lot depends on how much falls tonight and tomorrow, if its more extreme totals I think record flooding comes into the discussion on all area rivers around here. Hope we don't get deluged next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 As expected the heaviest rain producing thunderstorms continue to train from Quincy to Peoria to Kankakee. North of there we're getting steady rains, but nothing too heavy. These areas had heavy rain this morning though, so the steady moderate rains are more of an impact than what they normally would be.
