Widespread life-threatening flash and urban flooding continues in south-central Texas, with considerable flooding impacts possible across central Texas. Wildfire smoke is impacting air quality across much of the Great Lakes region into southern New England and the Mid-Atlantic. Monsoonal thunderstorms may produce isolated to scattered flash flooding across the Southwest into the Great Basin. Read More >
Overview
|
A line of showers and thunderstorms tracked east across Iowa Tuesday afternoon and evening bringing damaging wind, occasional lightning, and heavy rain to eastern IA and northwest IL. The strongest reported winds of 60-70 mph, occurred in Buchanan and Linn counties. These winds brought down trees and powerlines as they moved through in the evening. In addition, heavy rain occurred with the highest amounts over 1 inch common in Jo Daviess and Stephenson counties in IL. A brief tornado occurred just west of Winthrop IA in an open field. Since no visible damage was seen, an EF-U rating was assigned to the tornado. The NWS would like to thank Buchanan County Emergency Management for assistance with this storm.
