Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA strong spring storm system moved from the central Plains into the Great Lakes region from 12 March to 13 March 2006. An initial low level jet of 30-40 knots increased to 40-50 knots after sunset on 12 March which increased the available moisture for thunderstorms and heavy rain development.A series of upper level disturbances developed waves of thunderstorms during the afternoon and overnight hours along and north of the warm front. Low freezing and wet bulb zero levels north of the warm front resulted in the storms being prolific hail producers. Outflow boundaries left over from the initial thunderstorm waves combined with the northward moving warm front provided the focus for locally heavy rainfall that lead to flash flooding in the Quad Cities metropolitan area.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeHeavy rain of unknown amounts fell in just under 2 hours in Muscatine. At the intersection of Leroy Street and Bidwell Road a 10 by 12 foot section of pavement buckled and sank 3-4 inches. There was a pre-existing crack in the pavement and water running down Leroy Street ran into the crack and scoured out the sub-roadbed.
