| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An outflow boundary remained in place just south of Iowa from the previous nights convection. The airmass over Iowa became very unstable with high temperatures reaching the low 90s on the 22nd, with dewpoint readings in the mid 70s to low 80s. Precipitable water values increased to between 2 and 2.2 inches in a band extending from southwest into northeast Iowa as monsoonal moisture was drawn north. CAPE values were in the 4000 to 5000 J/kg range, with the lifted index between -6 and -8 C on the warm side of the thunderstorm development. The atmospheric shear was weak, around 20 kts. CAPE in the -10 to -30 C layer of the atmosphere was around 600 J/kg, but hail production was limited by the 15,500 foot freezing level. Thunderstorms developed over central into east central and northeast Iowa. Upscale development took place into a small MCS. This MCS produced severe weather, mainly in the form of high winds and some small hail. Damage from the wind was limited to tree damage for the most part. One storm produced very strong winds in Butler County. Winds with an estimated speed of 80 MPH tore part of the roof off of a house north of Aplington and also destroyed 6 outbuildings. Lightning struck an abandon church in Knoxville, setting it on fire. The fire was brought under control quickly. Heavy rain fell in the Aplington area of Butler County with 2.5 inches falling in a relatively short period of time. |
