A nearly stationary front was located across southeast Iowa.  A strong upper level low pressure system lifted  northeast across the central U.S.  An area of thunderstorms developed along the front and trained northeast across southeast Iowa.  They produced heavy rainfall with 2 to 4 inches of rain common during a few hours time.  The ground was saturated from previous rains, so much of the rain that fell ran off quickly.  Flash flooding occurred in several counties.  Road closures occurred in Monroe, Appanoose, Wapello, and Monroe Counties.  Some road washouts were also reported.  The flash flooding transitioned to general flooding in Monroe and Appanoose Counties with numerous roads remaining closed due to high water.  Heavy rain of 3 inches in just a couple of hours resulted in ponding of water 3 feet deep in the town of Charition.
