| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Hot and humid conditions prevailed across the region July 27, as a warm front lifted northward into northeast Iowa. Showers and thunderstorms developed along the Highway 20 corridor in Dubuque, Jo Daviess and Stephenson Counties during the early evening hours of July 27. They continued to redevelop and move over the same areas for about 18 hours. Record-setting rainfall totals of 7 to 15 inches resulted in flash flooding of much of the area. The Mississippi River at Dubuque, IA even rose about 4 feet in 12 hours due to the excessive rainfall. In addition to the heavy rains and flooding, some of the stronger storms produced large hail and 2 brief tornadoes. High temperatures on July 27 topped out in the lower and middle 90s. Due to the high humidity levels, low temperatures the morning of July 28 only managed to slip into the 70s and lower 80s. |
