A storm tracking across the southern U.S. will continue to bring heavy to excessive rainfall over portions of central Texas through the central Gulf Coast today. The Southeast U.S. will see heavier rain and a risk for severe thunderstorms Saturday. While much of this rainfall will be beneficial to the drought, excessive rainfall may bring areas of flash and urban flooding. Read More >
Overview
Warm and humid conditions were found across the Midwest ahead of a cold front that moved into central Iowa by the late afternoon of July 13. Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed and moved across eastern Iowa, northeast Missouri and western Illinois during the afternoon. Some of the thunderstorms along and south of Interstate 80 were severe and produced wind damage from Sigourney, IA to Muscatine, IA to Princeton, IL. These storms knocked out power to thousands of people in the Quad Cities for several hours, with numerous trees and power lines down. There was also additional thunderstorm wind damage near Macomb, IL which was associated with a line of storms moving northeastward out of Missouri. Heavy rain was also common with several locations receiving over an inch of rain in a short amount of time. The highest rainfall amounts were generally along a line from Montezuma, IA, to Muscatine, IA to Princeton, IL, where 1 to 2 inches of rain fell.
