Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA weak cold frontal boundary approached Iowa from the northwest as an upper level low pressure area reached the western border during the afternoon. The airmass became unstable with about 2000 J/kg of CAPE available. Shear was around 40 kts by late afternoon. Surface temperatures rose into the low to mid 80s with dewpoint readings in the upper 60s to low 70s. The downdraft CAPE was quite high over northeast Iowa around 1000 J/kg to just above. Thunderstorms formed in an arching line ahead of the approaching upper low. Though most of the storms were not severe, one became severe in Bremer County with a wind gust of 65 MPH in the Plainfield area. Several trees were blown down and small hail also covered the ground. Thunderstorms continued to develop in the warm air advection zone. High winds damaged cars, a house, and trees in the Lake Mills area of Winnebago County. A funnel cloud was observed northwest of Fonda in Pocahontas County.
