| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Tornadoes made an October appearance along with other strong storms and heavy rainfall as a number of conditions came together. A frontal boundary stalled out across Iowa, situated from southwest to northeast, roughly cutting the state in half. Dew points were on the high side given the time of the year, in the upper 60s to low 70s, yielding low lifted condensation levels. In addition, low level turning resulted in 0-1km SRH values of 100-200+ m2/s2 within an environment of 1000+ J/kg SBCAPE. With all of that in play, a pair of tornadoes were confirmed during the evening hours, before giving way to predominantly sub-severe storms and heavy rainfall. Heavy rainfall conditions were bolstered by strong 850mb/moisture flow throughout the event with precipitable water values approaching 1.5 to 1.75 inches. |
