Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA very unstable airmass was in place over Iowa. The stationary front that had been south of the state over the past several days began to lift north and extended from southwest into east central Iowa on the afternoon of the 28th. Temperatures warmed into the low to mid 80s, with dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s. CAPE increased to between 3000 and 4000 J/kg by mid afternoon. Downdraft CAPE rose to 800 to 1000 J/kg, while CAPE in the -10 to -30 C layer of the atmosphere was in the 600 to 800 J/kg range. The freezing level was still a relatively low 12,700 feet. A 35 kt low level jet was in place with considerable moisture transport. Precipitable water values increased to 1.4 to 1.7 inches, or about two standard deviations above normal. The atmosphere was fairly strongly sheared with 45 to 50 kts of available shear. Thunderstorms developed around the warm front and became severe quite quickly. A funnel cloud was observed in Ringgold County. The primary mode of severe weather during the late afternoon was hail with numerous reports of three quarter to one and one half inch diameter hail. Two and one half inch diameter hail fell in Monroe County north of Lovilia. Flash flooding occurred in Monroe County, where 3 inches of rain fell in a short period of time. An unofficial report of 10 inches of rain was received from southwest of Eddyville in Monroe County. Major flooding occurred in the area. Numerous roads and highways were flooded across southern Iowa, some with water of 3 to 5 feet in depth. Road washouts were reported as well as culvert washouts.
