NATIONAL STORM SUMMARY

JUNE 2004

6th-12th...Many central parts of the country were doused by storms coming in
from the north and south Wednesday. A large stream of moisture from the Gulf of
Mexico brought rain to Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Illinois, with the
south-central portions of Texas and Oklahoma the hardest hit. Duncan, OK, had
2.92 inches by midday, and San Antonio had more than an inch and a half.
Extensive
flooding was reported along a highway in Wise County, Texas. Gulf moisture also
combined with a frontal boundary over the Great Lakes to drench parts of
Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Mankato, MN, had 5.52
inches of rain by midday, and several areas reported well over an inch.

13th-19th...A two-hour storm dumped nearly 8 inches of rain on southwest Sioux
Falls early Wednesday, flooding streets and basements and spilling the Big
Sioux River into parks and bike trails. ``The ground is totally saturated,''
said Lyle Johnson, Sioux Falls' director of public works. City officials said
it was the worst flooding in Sioux Falls in 10 years. While the southwest part
of the city got 7.79 inches, Sioux Falls Regional Airport on the city's north
side measured 3.54 inches, said National Weather Service meteorologist Todd
Heitkamp. The downpour washed out a parking lot in eastern Sioux Falls,
creating a jagged gully with a stream gushing through it. City and Minnehaha
County officials were still assessing damage but said water had collapsed at
least one basement and flooded many others.

20th-26th...Showers and thunderstorms stretched Wednesday from the Mid-Atlantic
to the Gulf Coast. Hail pelted North Dakota and showers dampened the western
Great Lakes. It was dry in most other regions. The wet weather in the East
included scattered storms over northern Florida. Scattered rain moved through
the western Great Lakes, and a thunderstorm in the northern Plains dropped
penny-sized hail near Edinburg, ND. Showers continued across Texas and
Louisiana.
Persistent thundershowers continued Thursday across the Southeast, Texas and
northern Plains. Wet weather drenched the Deep South and parts of Texas, where
rainfall amounts reached 2.24 inches in Beaumont, the highest total in the
nation.
Rain scattered across the Northeast and parts of the nation's central states
Friday, while it was mostly clear on the West Coast. In the East, scattered
showers and thunderstorms moved across the Tennessee Valley and Carolinas. A
cold front advancing into the area brought isolated lightning strikes and heavy
rain. Severe midday storms in central Virginia prompted several tornado
warnings. Heavy rain and thunderstorms continued to drench southeastern Texas
and the lower Mississippi Valley, producing frequent lightning strikes. Rainy
conditions persisted in the Ohio Valley and parts of the Northeast, while light
rain fell in the Gulf Coast states.

27th-30th...Rain fell on large portions of the nation Monday, as expansive
fronts
hovered over the South and the Ohio Valley. A stationary front stretching from
Texas to the Carolinas brought heavy thunderstorms. El Dorado, Ark., received
3.42 inches and Greenville, MS, received 1.80. A cold front stretching across
the Missouri and Ohio River Valleys brought showers and thunderstorms to parts
of the region, including areas of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. There was
also light rain in central Missouri as well as northern Indiana. Other
scattered showers and storms fell in parts of Florida and coastal Texas.
