Heavy rain affected much of central Illinois, beginning during the morning hours of Sunday, July 29, and continuing into the afternoon. Another round of heavy rain developed Sunday evening, affecting much of the same area into Monday morning. A wide swath from west central Illinois, east into east central Illinois, received storm total rainfall of 2 to 5 inches. A few totals in excess of 5 inches were reported near Springfield. Due to recent dry weather and fully mature crops, area soils were able to absorb the heavy rain with only modest rises noted on affected streams and rivers. Besides some water ponding in urban areas, no flooding was reported.
