| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A cold front moved slowly south into the state during the day on the 20th. The flow was quite light with overall weak dynamics associated with the system. The atmosphere became unstable by afternoon with around 2000 J/kg of CAPE available. The downdraft CAPE was quite high in the 900 to 1200 J/kg range. CAPE in the -10 to -30 C layer of the atmosphere was between 300 and 600 J/kg. Precipitable water was around 1.3 inches, with a freezing level in the 13,000 to 13,500 foot level. Thunderstorms developed rapidly along and near the 850 mb front extending from north of Omaha to near Dubuque. They initially produced hail with penny size hail reported in Audubon County. The storms formed into a scattered line of severe thunderstorms and produced hail up to golf ball size. Ames received golf ball size hail across much of the city. As the storms continued one of the cells began producing high winds. Winds of up to 65 MPH occurred in Story County around Huxley and Maxwell. The high winds damaged barns and outbuildings at several locations. Heavy rainfall of 2 to 3 inches fell over Story County, resulting in flash flooding, especially in the Maxwell area. Most of the rain fell in a one to two hour time period. Many ditches and farm fields were flooded. Highway 210 was under water near Maxwell for a period of time. |
