Heavy Storms Early Sunday To The South

Sunday marked the 34th consecutive day with no measurable rain in the Quad Cities at the Quad City International Airport.

This is the 5th longest stretch without measurable rain in Quad City weather history.  A rainless Monday will push us up to number four and if we don't see measurable rain Tuesday, that would put us in a tie for third place.


While we can't get more than a few drops of rain in the Quad Cities, it was a much different story early Sunday morning in our southern hometowns.



This picture here was submitted by Ethan Schisler of the intense lightning around Galesburg, Illinois.

Officially, Galesburg picked up 1.18" of rain.  However, some parts of McDonough and Warren counties in west-central Illinois, picked up three to four inches of rain!

Our next chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives Tuesday night and Wednesday.
