The diving MCS took most of the storms well south and west, but I was lucky to get a nice lone storm on the northeast flank before it weakened.  The rain was pretty heavy (0.72", daily total 1.15") and the lightning was about as good as I've had this season (not much for big thunder, though).  Some modest hail even fell north of Cedar Rapids.

Updated rain amounts for June.  This wouldn't have captured all of the rain this morning and again, it seems to underestimate totals in some areas.

 

Nonetheless, if you look closely, some 15" amounts showing up in parts of MO/IL/IN.

June amounts are going to match/exceed July 2003 in many spots

That was a fun month for severe, particularly for hail as I recall. My girlfriend at the time lived in Bourbonnais, and we'd go out and sit under her covered back porch and watch (listen to) the storms. Storm data for that month is worth a read.

I remember you getting hail like a dozen times in a year once.  Was that then?

You ain't kidding. 12z run wasn't chopped liver either. 

 

 

Really don't know what to expect and have some concern about convective feedback possibly interfering with some of these solutions.  I guess be prepared for anything from 1-5"  lol
