Environment & Additional Info
 |
 |
| June 26 4 p.m. surface map depicting a favorable setup for severe storms. A slowly northward-moving warm front was across the area, with a strong upper level wave moving eastward into southern Wisconsin (as evidenced by the ongoing showers and storms at the time of this map). The ample moisture up to the warm front fed into the storms and also helped supply plentiful instability to support strong thunderstorm winds to reach the surface. | June 26 2 p.m. weather balloon launch data (sounding) from NWS Quad Cities. This sounding shows many ideal characteristics for explosive severe weather, especially well-organized, wind-producing storms. This includes high instability, ample moisture, and an impressively strong mid-level wind field. |
 |
 |
| June 27 3 p.m. Mixed-layer CAPE showing a reservoir of 2,000 J/kg in northwest Indiana where thunderstorms had started to fire. Also notice the low-level wind field and the general convergence from Illinois into that portion of Indiana, serving as a focus for thunderstorms. | June 27 3 p.m. Precipitable waters and steering vectors. High precipitable waters of 1.75"+ and motions that were training along the boundary orientation resulted in flash flooding. |
