Sounds like the hospital flooding occurred on a “ground” floor, which may be partially below grade. Can’t be certain, but I would assume these other extreme photos are from more flood prone areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 That northern tier of IL counties sure seems to be a great spot to be for training storms in the summer, and heavy fronto band snows in the winter. The Rockford area got smoked with flooding rains last summer a few times as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogget Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Just over 3 inches of rain last night here in Green County, WI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I picked up 0.54" overnight... coulda been better, coulda been worse. The Rockford area already had a few inches of rain and flash flood warnings a few days ago on the front edge of the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes..and the lake breeze sometimes helps to reinforce any outflows preventing a warm front form moving north ahead of any disturbance moving in from the west...and training sets up....of course the odds increase with very high PW vales.... I remember the July 1996 epic event....was chasing and sat in Lasalle county watching storm after storm train to my north and northeast for hours... almost 17 inches at Aurora ....a state 24 HR record https://www.weather.gov/lot/1996floodanniversary It was very dry leading up to that event...and if it happened today there might even be more runoff because of the all the growth in the SW burbs....

janetjanet998 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 also anytime you have a closed low with this kind of moisture quite often there is a heavy rainfall event near that low...especially at night...on the north side very interesting set up over IL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom talks about this event all the time, she worked in aurora at the time at the hospital and she couldn’t go to work for days. She said the majority of her friends that lived in Aurora lost their cars during that event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My area "only" got like 6-8" of rain, so not Aurora like but still quite a bit of flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 A nice pocket of heavy rain dropped another 0.75" here late this morning, boosting my 24hr total to 1.29". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlover2 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 These storms that popped around my area might not be severe but are packing quite a punch. Very torrential rain and winds gusting 40-50mph. Lots of thunder and lightning too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Storms staying south. Unless something changes, looks like it might be the ole splitsville between yesterday and today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB WX Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Quite the soaking yesterday and today.. Guessing between 2.5-3" with today's added on 92 yesterday afternoon to 58 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Pop up thunderstorm this morning dumped about a 1/2” of rain and a few nice CGs. This pic was looking east while we tried to wait out the morning sounding launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: MLI damn near snuck in another 90 today. They hit 89 shortly before noon, and before the clouds and rain moved in. Hit 85 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
