episode_narrativeStorms developed in a moist to near tropical atmosphere along a warm front from Dubuque, Iowa to Falls City, Nebraska, and ahead of a cold front in western Iowa. A strong low level jet continuously feed moist air into the storms resulting in copious amounts of rain in very short time periods across Eastern Iowa and West Central Illinois. The additional shear provided by the warm front allowed 3 tornadoes to develop. As the night progressed, the warm front stalled along the Iowa/Missouri border and became a focus for thunderstorms to train along with very heavy rainfall.
event_narrativeLocation is actually in Eastern Delaware County 4.2 miles northwest of Worthington. Spotters from the Dyersville Fire Department and in Worthington briefly glimpsed the Hopkinton Tornado as it roped out and dissipated on the horizon.
