Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeDuring the day on the 15th, much of Iowa found itself firmly in the warm sector with a warm front/stationary front eventually settling across northern Iowa. Temperatures reached the upper 80s along with dew points in the mid to upper 60s, helping fuel MUCAPE values in excess of 2000 J/kg. Effective bulk shear was generally marginally supportive to supportive in the 25-45 kt range. Isolated storms initiated during the afternoon, eventually leading way to strong more widespread storms in the evening hours that resulted in primarily severe hail. In addition to the severe hail, a handful of thunderstorm damage, severe wind gusts, and even localized flash flooding were reported.
