Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeOverall the pattern and antecedent environment were not extremely conducive to severe weather with an environment of around 1000 J/kg and effective shear under 30 kts, but it did not rule out the potential for periods of heavy rainfall. ||High pressure ridging was situated over the SW United States, leaving much of the Upper Midwest along the ring of fire, or northwesterly flow/transition from ridge to trough. A shortwave was moving through the upper level flow, initiating weak convection during the evening and overnight hours of the 7th into the 8th, which was then aided by the nocturnal low level jet. Severe weather was negligible, though several rural roads were eventually closed due to heavy rainfall and localized flooding. With storms initiating and propagating over similar areas much of the night, total heavy rainfall of up to 5.6 inches was reported, with most reports in the 2 to 4 inch range.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeTrained spotter reported heavy rainfall of 5.1 inches from last night and this morning. This is a delayed report.
