Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA warm front lifted northward into the region during the early morning hours of May 15th, triggering a large complex of thunderstorms across Iowa. These storms tracked eastward into north-central Illinois producing very heavy rain west of the Illinois River during the morning. Additional strong to severe thunderstorms developed further south along the warm front in the afternoon. These storms produced numerous reports of large hail, heavy rainfall, and flash flooding - including a fatality in a vechicle due to high water late in the evening. This was the second heavy rain episode within three days in central Illinois. There were also isolated reports of wind damage in central Illinois.
