| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Early morning thunderstorms resulted in outflow that left a remnant boundary across the forecast area. Visible satellite clearly marked a corridor with developing cumulus and associated thunderstorms, which stretched from central Illinois through Rolla, MO. Mesoanalysis depicted 4000-5000+ J/kg of SBCAPE along this line, dew points well into the 70s, PWATs pushing near 2 inches, and DCAPE between 1000 and 1600 J/kg. The biggest limitation was the lackluster shear, less than 20 knots covering this region. This environment suggested frequent lightning, locally very heavy rain with rainfall rates of 1-2+ inches per hour, and downburst winds that could reach 50-60 mph through the early evening. There were numerous reports of damaging winds. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | At approximately 315 pm, lightning struck a house on Joyceridge Drive in Clarkson Valley. The strike ignited a fire in the attic. Fortunately a construction crew was working on a nearby house and saw the fire. They were able to spray water on the fire and put most of it out until the fire department arrived on scene. No one was home at the time of the lightning strike. No injuries or deaths were reported. |
