Overview

Multiple rounds of thunderstorms tracked across the area early Sunday, bringing very heavy rain, frequent lightning, and some localized gusty winds. Rainfall rates over 2"/hr on top of saturated ground caused flash flooding with water over roadways and creeks overflowing. Late afternoon and evening storms brought more heavy rain and three brief tornadoes in Lee county in Iowa and Clark county in Missouri.  No damage was reported or seen with these tornadoes.
