Let's go with this one. 

 

---

 

@ Justin's post from the other thread - definitely going to have some hydrologic issues in the region. Already having issues in the area with river flooding. Pools of water cover decent sections of farmland right now. 

Farmers probably be able to get out into the fields until next week sometime and that's only if it warms up and stops raining then.

It will be interesting to see if the NAM is onto something with the trough ejecting in two pieces. It really opens the floodgates over the Midwest.

 

 

 

I was going to say, even though it will likely be wrong, the NAM would indicate some crazy hydrologic issues for much of the Great Lakes given a similar flooding rain type system to last week over a lot of the same areas.

There is already hydrologic issues going on. GFS is not that far off from what is shown above - just a bit further east. This cloudy, cold weather doesn't help the drying of soils whatsoever. Fox River in particular is probably going to be at a significant flood stage by weeks end if 3" of rain is in store.

Yep, but if the week were dry, I could see those water rises subside quite a bit, but it is pretty clear that will not be the case.  Tuesday looks like the only likely dry day until we get to later Friday.

I think Wednesday night could cause some big problems. The 12z GFS featured pwats increasing to over 1.6". For reference, that's almost off the charts for DVN RAOB climatology in April. 50% of the GEFS members had pwats over 1.25", which is in the top 10%. I worked the public shift at LOT today and highlighted Weds night hydrologic concerns in the HWO.

Southern Whiteside to Northern Knox county may get some marginal severe gusts in the next 30-45 minutes line is coming together and intensifying nicely last few minutes.

 

 

Expecting a pretty good storm here in the next half hour or so.  Wasted most of the day out in central Iowa on a "chase" of what turned out to be garbage.  Hopefully these storms take away the sting of the disappointing afternoon/eve.
