Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA very strong frontal boundary was in place across Iowa during the afternoon of the 9th. Temperatures were in the mid 20s over the far northwest corner of the state, with low 80s in the southeast. Dewpoints reached the mid 50s to low 60s over the southeast as well. Moisture continued to stream into the state on a 30 to 40 MPH low level jet. Precipitable water values increased to between 1 and 1.3 inches. CAPE was around 1000 J/kg across the area with an effective shear of 45 to 55 kts. There was little DCAPE available, however the CAPE in the -10 to -30 C layer of the atmosphere was around 300 J/kg. Thunderstorms formed deep in the cold air from west central through north central into parts of northeast Iowa. The storms produced hail, sufficient to cover the ground in many instances, and scattered high wind events. Nearly all of the storms produced at least small hail with the stronger storms producing severe to significant hail. The largest hail reported was in Crawford County, where 2 inch diameter hail fell south of Charter Oak. Storms produced high winds in the northwest, with damage reported in Pocahontas and Kossuth Counties. A shed was blown over by thunderstorm winds in Pocahontas County at Laurens. Power lines were blown down in Kossuth County at Fenton, while a barn and outbuilding was toppled east of Whittemore.
