Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAfter a complex of storms moved through the state in the early morning hours of the 28th, producing a smattering of sub-severe to severe hail, the area found itself entrenched firmly within the warm sector of a low pressure system passing to the northwest. Resulting MLCAPE values during the afternoon and early evening were in the 2000-3000 J/kg range, along with effective bulk shear around 40-50 kts, LCL heights under 1000 m, and semi-supportive 0-1 km helicity around 100 m2/s2. With such an environment, parameters such as the sig tor (effective layer) highlighted large portions of Iowa during the afternoon and evening hours. Resulting storms quickly went supercellular and proceeded to produce multiple tornadoes and large hail in excess of 2.5 inches throughout central and southwest Iowa. Seven tornadoes occurred across mainly rural portions of southwest into central Iowa in this event. The longest tornado was an EF1 tornado that touched down in Warren County and crossed into Marion County that was on the ground for over 17 miles. Much of the tornado moved through rural portions of Warren and Marion Counties, but one farmstead received damage along the Warren/Marion County line with additional light damage to rural residences in Marion County. A large wedge EF2 tornado touched down in Taylor County moving through mainly rural areas. One outbuilding was nearly destroyed and minor damage was done to a house.
