| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Traditional severe weather parameters were lackluster during this event with MUCAPE values predominantly in the 500 to 1500 J/kg range and negligible effective bulk shear. Even precipitable water values, low level moisture transport, and low level jet strength were on the lower end of the spectrum. One item that was in favor of storm initiation and heavy rainfall though was the presence of a stationary boundary across central Iowa much of July 2nd and 3rd. With the boundary in place and moist low levels, it did not take much to initiate multiple rounds of storms. The primary rounds were seen during the mid to late afternoon on the 2nd, near peak heating, and then overnight, aided by a weak low level jet. By the morning of the 3rd, a number of stations around Fort Dodge and down towards Ames had reported between 2 and 4.5 inches of rainfall. While most locations did not have any water issues, the Fort Dodge urban area did experience a period of flash flooding. |
