| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong warm front was positioned southwest of Iowa during the early morning of the the 24th. A 40 to 50 kt low level jet transported a considerable amount of moisture northeast across the frontal boundary. Precipitable water values increased to 2.25 to 2.5 inches over the southwest half of Iowa. Thunderstorms formed in the strong theta-e advection zone across northeast Nebraska into west central Iowa through the night. They intensified during the predawn hours and continued through the morning. Very heavy rainfall occurred in a 30 to 40 mile wide band extending from southeast of Atlantic, southeastward through the Creston area into Lamoni. Widespread rainfall of 5 to 9 inches occurred in this area, with most of the rain falling in less than 6 hours. Flooding was widespread in this band with U.S. Highways 169, 65 and 34 all closed in places due to high water. Numerous county roads were flooded, with some washouts occurring and a few bridges being washed out. A report from the Sun Valley Lake area of Ringgold County indicated that boats on the lake were floating from their lifts and houses around the lake were threatened. Farmers in the area expressed that they had never seen flooding like this so late in the season. There were intermittent thunderstorms during the afternoon, then another line of strong thunderstorms developed over southwest Iowa. They set up in a line extending along to just northeast of the area of heavy flooding that occurred during the morning and into the afternoon. Renewed flash flooding took place over Ringgold County, with nearly all roads closed in parts of the county. The excessive rain from the previous 24 hours lead to general flooding over south central Iowa. Floods continued through the following day with numerous roads closed, especially in Lucas and Wayne Counties. |
