August 1-3, 2022: Severe Storms, Heavy Rain, & Flooding

Overview

Multiple rounds of severe weather and heavy rainfall occurred across central and southeast Illinois from August 1-3, 2022.

On August 1, strong to severe storms spread in from the northwest early in the morning and continued through the late morning hours, bringing numerous damaging wind reports and an EF-1 tornado in Beason, IL. A lull in precipitation was seen from late morning through early afternoon before additional storms developed along a stalled frontal boundary later in the afternoon and continued through the evening hours. Severe storms that produced hail up to hen egg sized (2 inches), damaging winds, and extreme rainfall were observed south of Interstate 70. Moderate to occasionally heavy rainfall continued into the late night hours of August 1.

A nocturnal complex of strong to severe thunderstorms spread southeast from Iowa during the early morning hours of August 2 and brought multiple rounds of heavy rainfall. This contributed to flooding, especially where soils were already super saturated from previous rainfall. By the time rain ended later in the day on August 2, rainfall totals surpassed 5-7"+ in parts of southeast Illinois.

The final round of storms and heavy rainfall spread into central Illinois during the afternoon hours of August 3. Damaging winds and small hail were observed across parts of the state with additional rainfall amounts of 1-3"+ that fell roughly between the Interstate 55 and 70 corridors. This helped alleviated some of the drought ridden areas across east-central Illinois.

Despite the historic rainfall, fairly minimal societal impacts were reported. A couple of water rescues across Jasper County along with flooded underpasses in Decatur were a few of the more notable reports.

The velocity data in Image 1 shows how strong the winds were at about 2,400 ft AGL, 89 kts (102 mph) just before the Beason Tornado developed. Some of this momentum mixed down to the surface as straight line winds. The Beason Tornado was embedded within the straight line winds. In Images 1-3, a small velocity couplet can be seen where green meets red. This is, in fact, the tornado.
