Rain was a welcome sight across portions of central and southeast Illinois on Thursday afternoon and evening. The remnants of a thunderstorm complex, which had occurred further to the west earlier in the day, moved into central Illinois and produced a large area of 1 to 3 inches of rain from Quincy southeast to Lawrenceville (click image at left to enlarge). The heavier amounts generally affected Christian, Montgtomery, Shelby, and Fayette Counties. The highest total observed was 4.31 inches at Morrisonville in southwest Christian County, which is the most to occur in a single day at that location since September 1, 2003. Unfortunately, most areas from about Beardstown to Lincoln to Paris northward did not receive any rainfall.
