| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | On an otherwise mundane day, a small handful of funnel clouds were reported across northern Iowa. The general setup, as hinted, was lackluster with relative high pressure over the region, light wind fields, highs only in the 70s, and dew points in the upper 50s to low 60s. Convective and supporting parameters were generally weak with MUCAPE values around 500-1000 J/kg, effective bulk shear generally under 30 kts, negligible 0-1 km SRH, and lifted condensation levels around 1000 m or greater to name a few. While the wind fields were light, they may have added to localized helicity with their more chaotic directions versus any directional organization. Sporadic convection did initiate, but amounted to little more than showers and a rogue funnel cloud report or two. |
