Still supported by a nearby stationary front, yet another round of thunderstorms dropped an additional 3-5 inches of rain across northeast Iowa and northwest Illinois during the overnight hours of July 23rd into the early morning of July 24th. This additional heavy rain exacerbated the ongoing flooding from the night before and caused even more extensive and severe damage. the Maquoketa and Wapsipinicon river basins were most notably affected.
