Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA trough of low pressure lifted north into Iowa during the day on the 24th. A weak short wave lifted northeast across the boundary. Strong thunderstorms fired to the south of Iowa and became enhanced as they interacted with the boundary. The atmosphere became moderately unstable with CAPE around 1000 to 1500 J/kg and lifted indices fell to around -6 C. The CAPE in the hail producing level was not all that high, but the freezing level was only 11,000 feet. Numerous reports of pea to slightly larger size hail were received. Downdraft CAPE was in the 700 to 1000 J/kg range. Shear was relatively weak with 20 to 30 kts of shear available. As the line lifted through central Iowa, which was during peak heating, it intensified. There were numerous reports of 50 MPH winds all along the line as it extended from west central, through central, into southeast Iowa. One segment of the line became severe and produced 60 to 70 MPH winds at several locations in central Iowa. A few funnel clouds were observed as well. A grain bin and shed were damaged south of Jamaica in Guthrie County. Scattered tree and outbuilding damage occurred across Dallas, Polk, and into Marshall Counties. A exit sign was blown down by the high winds south of Woodward in Dallas County. Lightning struck an accounting building near Charition, blowing out bricks from the building and damaging some electrical components.
