A frontal boundary settled across northern Kansas, northern Missouri and central Illinois. This front was the focus area for the development of several rounds of showers and thunderstorms that impacted the region today. The first round came through during the morning, and produced mainly torrential rainfall, small hail, brief wind gusts and frequent lightning.

The second round of showers and thunderstorms developed and passed across the region during the late afternoon and evening. A segment of thunderstorms became severe along and south of Highway 34, and produced damaging wind gusts near 70 MPH. This lead to several reports of wind damage from Burlington eastward to Roseville. Additionally, prolonged torrential rainfall over already saturated grounds lead to numerous reports of flash flooding across the area.
