| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The cold front that entered the state on the 15th made slow progress east during the day on the 16th. The atmosphere became unstable by early to mid afternoon with CAPE values rising to 2000 to 4000 J/kg and the lifted index falling to the -4 to -9 C range. Downdraft CAPE was not as high as the previous day, in the 500 to 800 J/kg range. Precipitable water was relatively high, in the 1.5 to 1.7 inch range. The freezing level remained around 14,000 feet, helping to limit hail production somewhat. Available CAPE in the -10 to -30 C layer of the atmosphere was between 400 and 600 J/kg. The LCL remained a relatively high 1250 meters. Moderate shear was available with 35 to 45 kts present. Thunderstorms formed along and ahead of the cold front. The strongest storms formed across southern Iowa, where the greatest instability and deeper moisture were present. The cluster of stronger storms then pushed east across the southern two to three tiers of Iowa counties. Heavy rainfall of one to three inches occurred in Ringgold County, along with nickel to quarter size hail. One inch diameter hail occurred in Davis County, with quarter size hail also reported in Taylor County. The storms moved and developed eastward. As they did, wind became more of an issue. Wind damage occurred southwest of Lamoni in Decatur County. As the storms moved through the southeast part of the CWA, 62 MPH winds were recorded at the Ottumwa Airport. As the cluster of storms moved east they became more cold pool dominated. Winds of 65 to 75 MPH were recorded before the storms left the Des Moines CWA. |
