| episode_narrative | The storm system on the 18th produced heavy rainfall as well as severe thunderstorms. As the low moved from the plains into the Upper Great Lakes, warm and very moist air from the Gulf of Mexico spread northeast as well. Heavy rain under the stronger storms left standing water in yards and parking lots. This first round of convection diminished during the afternoon as the storms moved east. The approach of the low pressure system's cold front then set the stage for another round of thunderstorms in the late evening on the 18th. Heavy rain also fell under the most intense thunderstorms. Total rainfall amounts were excessive at many places west of Marquette and Iron Mountain. Marenisco in Gogebic County was inundated with 2.90 inches of rain. Some other impressive rainfall totals include 2.64 inches at Ironwood, 2.57 inches at Pelkie, 2.20 inches at Amasa, 2.07 inches at Baraga, and 2.00 inches at Watton. This heavy rainfall caused some minor flooding of smaller streams and low-lying areas. The runoff from the precipitation and the melting of lingering snow over the higher terrain areas caused some flooding of the larger rivers over the west half of Upper Michigan that lingered for several days after the rain ended. Minor flooding was reported along the Sturgeon River from Alston to Chassell and along the Middle Branch of the Escanaba River at Humbolt. Minor flooding was also reported along the Michigamme River from Republic to Witch Lake, along the Trap Rock River at Lake Linden, on the Chocolay River at Harvey.and along the Paint River at Crystal Falls. |
