| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The state found itself under broad upper level ridging to zonal flow, allowing for a weak cold front to slide into the state and stall around the Interstate 80 corridor during the evening and overnight hours. The environment was fairly ripe for thunderstorm activity, including 2000-3000+ J/kg SBCAPE and hail CAPE values around 500 J/kg, but lacked supportive effective bulk shear with values generally around 30 kts or less. With the front stalling across central Iowa, and the thermodynamic environment what it was, thunderstorms predominantly lingered across central Iowa through the evening and overnight hours, producing periods of severe hail during the first couple of hours and transitioning to sub-severe storms and a predominant heavy rainfall threat. In the end, there were a number of reports of quarter to near golf ball sized hail, followed by heavy rainfall amounts of 2 to 3+ inches by the morning of the 17th. |
