Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThe airmass remained quite unstable across the state as a weak cold front approached from the northwest and the main short wave lifted northeast through the central U.S. CAPE values were in the 3000 to 4000 J/kg range with lifted indices between -8 and -9 C. Thunderstorms formed over southern Iowa in the rich air with dew points in the mid 70s. Downdraft CAPE was quite high at 1000 to 1200 J/kg. CAPE in the -10 to -30 C layer of the atmosphere was quite a bit less than the previous round, in the 400 to 800 J/kg range. The column was significantly sheared with 45 to 65 kts of effective shear present. Plenty of moisture was available with 2.2 inches of precipitable water noted just south of the thunderstorm inception area. Thunderstorms fired by early afternoon over a good part of Iowa with the strongest in the south central and parts of central Iowa. Initially, the storms produced sub-severe hail around nickle size. As the afternoon progressed, the storms became stronger and resulted in high winds. Winds of 68 MPH hit the ASOS at Ottumwa for example. In addition, the storms produced heavy rainfall. This produced flooded roads in some areas, especially in Warren and Madison Counties.
