| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An unstable airmass remained in place over Iowa. CAPE values were in the 3000 to 5000 J/kg range with lifted indices in the -5 to -10 C range. A frontal boundary shifted south during the late afternoon and evening. As the low level jet became more active overnight, it impinged on the frontal boundary. As this occurred, moisture pooled along and north of the front with precipitable water values increasing to 2 to 2.5 inches. Thunderstorms formed in the strong theta-e advection from southeast, through central, into northwest Iowa. Initially the storms lifted northeast with the flow, but as the night progressed, they back-developed with thunderstorms moving over the same areas repeatedly. Two to four inches of rain fell in a band extending from near Ottumwa, through Des Moines, to southwest of Fort Dodge, into the Spencer area. Flash flooding was widespread across the area. Some of the worst flooding took place in Mahaska County. Flash flooding, estimated 8 feet deep, swept a car off of Highway 92 east of Oskaloosa with the car ending up in a soybean field. There were 18 evacuations and rescues in and around the town of Oskaloosa. There was no severe weather reported with this event. |
