| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An upper level trough was pivoting across the Northern Plains and the Canadian Plains August 17th, with a surface low reflection dragging a cold front through the Dakotas and northern Minnesota. The aforementioned cold front triggered widespread storms during the afternoon hours of the 17th, slowly propagating eastward. By late evening, a portion of the line of storms formed into an organized linear convective system, with bowing segments, that entered northwest Iowa. Through the overnight hours, the system continued to move across Iowa from northwest to southeast, slowly losing its overall organization and threat for damaging winds. Even though it lost overall strength, with MUCAPE values in excess of 2000 J/kg, precipitable water values in excess of 1.7 inches, and strong low level moisture influx, efficient and heavy rainfall continued as it moved across the state. Many areas received between 2 and 3 inches, with the majority of it falling in around 90 minutes or less. |
