| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A pair of areas of convection colluded to bring about heavy rainfall and sporadic severe storms into Iowa during the morning hours. Low level jet induced storms formed over southern South Dakota and worked their way eastward and eventually southeastward into Iowa, while convection over southern Minnesota was initiated along a southward moving boundary. The two predominantly came together over northern Iowa before eventually moving straight southward through the state. Initially, the main results were sub-severe storms providing heavy rainfall, before organizing and tapping into enough instability to produce damaging winds and severe hail. ||The environment within Iowa was fairly conducive to severe storm possibility, with elevated MUCAPE values around and in excess of 2000 J/kg, effective bulk shear of 30-40+ kts, and hail CAPE values around 600+ J/kg. Fortunately, given that storms had grown upscale overnight, there was little to no isolated convection. |
