A stationary front combined with the remains of Tropical Storm Gordon, to produce several periods of heavy rain across central and southeast Illinois from Wednesday, September 6th through early Sunday, September 9th. The map at left shows the total for the 7 day period ending Sunday evening. Several heavy pockets of rain occurred, with widespread 3-6 inch totals west of the Illinois River and from near Jacksonville to Danville. Much of that rain fell on the 6th and 7th. In southeast Illinois, the totals were more directly influenced by Gordon, and amounts in parts of Clay, Richland and Lawrence Counties exceeded 10 inches in a few cases! Public reports included 10 inches in Noble, 9.8 inches near Birds, and 9 inches in Olney. Most of this fell late on the 7th and into the evening on the 8th.
