As mentioned in a WPC Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion<\/strong><\/a>, some of these storms were focused along the nose of a low-level jet that was helping to push a warm frontal boundary (surface analyses<\/strong><\/a>) through the region. Moisture was also abundant south of the warm front, with a total precipitable water value of 55.1 mm (2.17 inches) seen in rawinsonde data from Davenport IA<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Landsat-8 false-color image [click to enlarge]<\/p><\/div>A timely cloud-free overpass<\/strong><\/a> of the Landsat-8 satellite on the morning of 15 June provided a 30-meter resolution false-color image as viewed using RealEarth<\/strong><\/a> (above),<\/strong><\/em> which showed areas of flooding — water appears as darker shades of blue — in the Black Earth area of western Dane County in southern Wisconsin.
