There was a subtropical ridge over the southeastern part of the country that was moving westward.  Deeper moisture and mid-level disturbances moved across southeast New Mexico along the western periphery of the ridge.  A weak frontal boundary was across southeast New Mexico, and it provided a focus for thunderstorm development.  Instability across the area allowed for some of these storms to produce large hail.

An upper low was moving east over New Mexico and deep moisture was moving across southeast New Mexico and West Texas.  Lift generated from the upper low combined with surface heating to generate showers and thunderstorms.  The plentiful moisture across the area and weak winds aloft contributed to heavy rain.

Heavy rain fell in Hobbs.  4.27 inches of rain was reported three miles north of Bender Boulevard in Hobbs.
Thunderstorms developed during the late morning and early afternoon across a zone just south of I-80 in northern Illinois and northwest Indiana and persisted for several hours.  An extremely moist environment set the stage for very heavy rainfall rates.  In addition, storms were moving slow and training over the same areas.  This brought about flash flooding due to rainfall amounts estimated at three plus inches, and possibly near six, in some locations.  The hardest hit communities were Braceville and Odell in northern Illinois, and in Indiana near the town of Hebron experienced very heavy rainfall.
