Flood in Warrick County, Indiana

Floodwaters were slow to recede in far Southwestern Warrick County with ponding of water on roads and near homes.

A surface boundary was positioned west to east across the Quad State during the early afternoon with convective activity increasing with daytime heating. Scattered convection primarily occurred south of the boundary mid to late afternoon. MLCAPE reached 2000-3000J/kg but effective bulk shear was very limited. Precipitable water values over 2 allowed for torrential rainfall rates. Training storm activity occurred near sunset in the Evansville/Newburgh area as isolated storms developed over the area followed by a more organized storm line. Significant flash flooding developed on the southeast side of Evanvsille and western parts of Newburgh with several streets covered by more than a foot of water. Several water rescues took place into the early evening.
