| episode_narrative | Event summary of 08/22/01Scattered strong thunderstorms developed during the evening hours of August 22 along an east-west boundary located from Northeast Missouri through West-central Illinois. The combination of the front, moderately high CAPEs, vertical wind shear, and a vort-max moving through Eastern Iowa allowed severe thunderstorms to develop along the boundary. Several small bow echo features moved along the front during the evening hours and produced wind damage and severe hail in Hancock and McDonough counties in Illinois. Convergence along the boundary, along with persistent upward motion provided by the vort-max, allowed thunderstorms to train along the stationary boundary into the early morning hours of August 23. Excessive rainfall fell during this period, and produced widespread urban and street flooding in West-central Illinois. NWS Cooperative Observer rainfall observations recorded 6.30 to 8.00 inches in Hancock county from this event. |
