| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | After a very brief reprieve from multiple days of activity, another round of storms greeted large parts of central Iowa during the very early morning hours of the 14th, through the rest of the morning, and into the afternoon. Traditional severe weather in the form of hail and damaging winds were sporadic, while heavy rain and flash flooding was the main player. The hail and wind reports were low end severe with generally quarter to ping pong ball sized hail and winds less than 70 mph. Heavy rain was rather impressive with a number of spots receiving 4 to 6 inches of rain, which helped lead to periods of flash flooding. ||The environment lended itself to heavy rain potential and marginal severe weather. Much of the state found itself on the cool side of a warm frontal boundary situated off to the west and the south. Given the location in relation to the warm front and nocturnal initiation, MUCAPE values were modest at best around 1000 to 2000 J/kg in central Iowa with better values to the wets and south and lesser values further north and east. Effective shear values increased through the overnight hours with aid from the nocturnal low level jet, generally finding itself in the 30 to 40+ kt range. The aforementioned nocturnal low level jet not only aided in initiation, but also ushered in plentiful moisture allowing precipitable water values to approach the 1.5 to 2.0 inch range. |
