| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A very humid and unstable airmass was in place over Iowa during the evening of the 11th into the morning of the 12th. A strong push if moisture pushed precipitable water values to over 2 inches over southern Iowa by evening. Surface dew point temperatures rose to the mid 70s to around 80. The airmass was quite unstable with 3000 to 4000 J/kg of CAPE available and a lifted index around -8 C. There was little shear present however and steering winds were quite light. Thunderstorms formed initially along an east-northeast to west-northwest outflow boundary left by convection the previous morning. This boundary was reinforced as a weak cold front and dropped southeast into Iowa. Thunderstorms developed along this boundary and moved very slowly, dumping heavy rainfall of 1 to 3 inches on top of already saturated ground. Spotty heavier reports were received with unofficial totals of nearly 4 inches southeast of Des Moines in the Knoxville area. The heavy rainfall resulted in flash flooding. Since the rain was unable to percolate into the soil, ditches filled with water and numerous county roads were flooded. Some state highways were flooded as well with water of 1 to 2 feet in depth flowing over the road. Highway 92 in Mahaska County, and Highway 415 in Polk County were flooded for example. There was little severe weather associated with this thunderstorm activity. A 58 MPH wind gust was reported by an RWIS site near Fort Dodge however. Lightning struck a business in Runnells. Bakeris Roofing was struck and set on fire. The fire took 8 fire departments two hours to put out and the business was destroyed. |
