Several rounds of heavy rain occurred over the weekend, with the heaviest rain falling over Lee and DeKalb counties. The image on the left is observed rainfall totals - notice the axis of heavy rain to the south where anywhere between 5 inches to 9 inches of rain occurred. The extreme rainfall was a result of several training thunderstorms throughout the day Saturday.
Rockford broke its daily rainfall record for Saturday with 1.80" of rain. The old record was 1.07 inches set back in 2014. Thunderstorms also produced severe weather, with most of the damaging thunderstorms moving through west-central and central Illinois.
