Overview
During the early morning of Tuesday, July 26th, 2022, a complex of training thunderstorms set up roughly along the I-70 corridor in Missouri and I-64 corridor in Illinois. Several rounds of thunderstorms with rainfall rates exceeding 2in/hr affected this area, including the St. Louis metropolitan area, through the early hours of July 26th and into the morning commute. Upwards of 11" of rain fell over the course of roughly 8 hours in an axis from Hawk Point, MO to St. Peters, MO according to radar-estimated rainfall products and several CoCoRaHS/spotter reports. A longer axis of over 8" of rain fell from northern Montgomery County in Missouri to St. Clair County in Illinois, causing multiple swift water rescues and scores of flooded interstates and homes across the St. Louis metropolitan area. St. Louis-Lambert International Airport also observed a new all-time record for daily precipitation: 8.64" of rain fell since midnight Central Standard Time (Daylight Savings Time is not used for climatological record-keeping). This value broke the previous record of 6.85", which occurred on August 20th, 1915 due to the remnants of the Galveston 1915 Hurricane. The storm-total rainfall was 9.07", but spans two days. Two fatalities were reported: one in St. Louis City, where a man drowned in his car near Skinker Blvd, and another in Hazelwood where a man drowned attempting to flee his flooded truck.

Flash Flood Warnings issued by NWS St. Louis on July 26th, 2022. One of these warnings, for parts of St. Louis City and St. Louis County, was a "Flash Flood Emergency." This type of Flash Flood Warning is reserved for high-end flash flooding events, like the one experience on July 26th. |
Weather and Climate Information
|
A regional radar loop from KLSX in St. Louis starting at 9:00pm on July 25th showing the development of training thunderstorms across the St. Louis metropolitan area. |
A persistent series of thunderstorms developed around 9:00pm on July 25th across east-central Missouri. The training thunderstorms expanded in area, and by around 10pm were impacting the St. Louis metropolitan area. Rain continuously fell at St. Louis-Lambert International Airport from 11pm until 2pm on the 26th. During that time, rainfall rates exceeding 2"/hr were observed and 9.06" of rain fell in that 15 hour period. In one six-hour period, 7.68" of rain fell, which statistically has a 1 in 1000 chance of occurring in a given year. Despite dry conditions prior to the event, rainfall amounts and rates of these magnitudes caused widespread impacts and at least one fatality. |

A conceptual model for the meteorological setup of the flash flooding event that occurred on July 26th, 2022 in the St. Louis metropolitan area. This setup is described in further technical detail in this paper written by Moore et al. (2003) in the AMS Weather and Forecasting journal.
|
The heavy rain fell north of a stationary front that was anchored across southern Missouri and Illinois. Strong low levels winds (around 5,000 feet) brought in copious amounts of low-level moisture which interacted with the front and the upper-level jet stream to produce repeated thunderstorms over the same area for more than 6 hours. These thunderstorms caused a narrow, but intense swath of heavy rainfall: most of the area saw at least a few inches of rainfall with a narrow band of 6 to 12 inches stretching from east central Missouri to southwest Illinois. |
Below are a few still images of the radar loop. Notice the "train" of continuous thunderstorms impacting the northern St. Louis metropolitan area.

Climatological Context for This Historic Rainfall Event
|
Social media graphic shared by NWS St. Louis to underscore the impressive statistics for this rainfall event. Note that the data was valid as of 1pm on July 26th at St. Louis-Lambert International Airport, where it was still raining lightly. |
This rainfall event was the most prolific one the St. Louis metropolitan area has seen since records began in 1874. Roughly 25% of our normal yearly rainfall fell in about 12 hours, and the highest 6-hour total (7.68") surpassed the normal amount of rain for the months of July and August combined. What is most impressive is how quickly the all-time record for 24-hour rainfall (7.02" in 1915) was surpassed. It took only 6 hours since midnight CST (all climate records are kept in standard time) to surpass the old record. |
