|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 4, 3:00 AM EDT | FLOOD | 4 N Bourbon, IN | SR 331 flooded between Bremen and Bourbon. A picture showed standing water near 331 and 8th rd. Time estimated by radar. |
Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Lincoln, IL (KILX), launched 00:00Z, 5.2 hours before the alert went out and 247 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

MarsiliWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Northern Indiana wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Jul 3, 7:07 PM EDT, 6 hours 6 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- A new Heat Advisory has been issued for areas mainly east of I-69 and south of US 24 through 8 PM EDT Saturday. Peak heat indices Saturday afternoon are expected to be around 100 degrees.
- Scattered storms, some severe, are most likely this evening with damaging wind gusts, heavy rain, and lightning as the main threats.
- Hot and humid for the 4th of July with 30-50% chances for showers and storms. There is a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather. Confidence is low but isolated severe storms will be possible between 2-11 PM EDT with damaging wind gusts, heavy rain, and lightning as the main threats.

.KEY MESSAGES...
- A new Heat Advisory has been issued for areas mainly east of I-69
and south of US 24 through 8 PM EDT Saturday. Peak heat indices
Saturday afternoon are expected to be around 100 degrees.
- Scattered storms, some severe, are most likely this evening with

&&
.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 141 PM EDT Fri Jul 3 2026
High heat and humidity is expected to sustain scattered storms later
this evening. A growing cumulus field is evident on visible
satellite imagery with strong to severe storms seen on radar across
parts of southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. How much the
storms maintain their strength is uncertain but the hot and humid
airmass overhead had led to an impressive 3000-4000 J/kg of SBCAPE
this afternoon already. Latest iterations of the HRRR show a few
isolated storms may develop across southwest Lower Michigan and
northwest Indiana between 21-00Z this evening, with additional
storms building in between 03-06Z mainly north of US-30 along
outflow boundaries leftover from the IL/WI convection. SPC has
maintained the Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) for our forecast area.
Multicell storm clusters are expected to pose a damaging wind threat
this evening into tonight. Forecast soundings depict inverted v
profiles with DCAPE above 1000 J/kg, which also indicates a
favorable environment for microbursts. Other favorable parameters
include low level lapse rates in excess of 8 C/km and PWATS around
1.5". In addition to the damaging wind threat, heavy rainfall and
lightning will be hazards as well.
As the upper level ridge continues to flatten,given a low shear
environment and potential for leftover outflow boundaries in the
area, have continued to maintain daily periodic chances for storms
through the holiday weekend. How the pattern evolves is dependent on
mesoscale and even some storm scale parameters, which makes
forecasting beyond just 6 to 12 hours ahead of time very tricky and
uncertain. While there is medium confidence on today's setup,
everything beyond this evening is murky and low confidence in exact
timing and location of storms.
July 4th will not be a complete washout, however, there is still a
Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather. Saturday marks the
beginning of our slight cool down, with highs in the mid 80s to near
90 degrees. Humid conditions stick around for the holiday though
with dewpoints in the low to mid 70s. A Heat Advisory has been
issued for our southeast half, including from Cass County, IN up to
Whitley County, IN up to Williams County, OH until 8 PM EDT Saturday
where peak heat indices will be around 100 degrees. In addition to
the continued heat and humidity, this moderately unstable airmass
should aid in at least isolated thunderstorm development between 2-
11 PM EDT Saturday. This setup will be highly dependent on morning
convection, leftover cloud debris, and if/where there are any old
outflow boundaries in the area. It's possible, depending on where
remnant outflow boundaries disperse, that storms end up mainly along
and south of US 30. With a similar environment to today,isolated
damaging wind gusts would be the main threat again Saturday in
any strong to severe storms; even if storms stay sub-severe,
heavy rain and lightning will still be hazards. If you have any
outdoor plans for the 4th of July, stay safe and stay cool!
A trough ejecting out of the western US could bring additional
chances for showers and storms on Sunday. The early to middle part
of next week looks mostly dry as a high pressure system sets up over
the Midwest and Great Lakes. While it may be slightly 'cooler' into
early next week with highs in the 80s, the long term pattern
continues to favor above normal temperatures through mid July.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 657 PM EDT Fri Jul 3 2026
Showers and thunderstorms are pushing ESE of KFWA. Dry
conditions are expected for the near term, but a line of
thunderstorms exiting eastern Iowa are favored to drift in
after 06z. In the wake of that activity, another period of dry
weather before additional storms can develop in the afternoon.
