Overview

The remnants of Hurricane Beryl moved through northern Indiana, northwest Ohio, and southwest Lower Michigan from the afternoon of July 9th to the afternoon of July 10th. The center of post-tropical cyclone Beryl tracked from southwest to northeast directly through our forecast area; this was the first direct impact from tropical remnants in our area since the remnants of Tropical Storm Alberto came through in 2018!

 

An astounding swath of 3-9" of rain fell across northwest/north-central Indiana and up into southern Lower Michigan. The remnants of Beryl brought over a month's worth of rain to some locations! All of this rain fell in 12-18 hours, which caused flooding on area rivers, creeks, lakes, and on roadways. Sporadic tree damage was also noted due to a tight pressure gradient that brought wind gusts of 35-45 mph over areas with very saturated soils.
