| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Unstable air was in place over Iowa with CAPE values in the 4000 J/kg range and lifted indices around -4 C. A weak synoptic cold front was located over northern Iowa, while a weak outflow boundary from previous convection was extending east to west across the south. As the nocturnal jet developed, a 30 kt inflow across the boundary over southern Iowa took place. A broad broken line of thunderstorms formed across the state from the southwest to northeast corners of the state. Downdraft CAPE ahead of the line was between 1000 and 1200 J/kg. Shear was weak, around 30 to 35 kts with a very high PWAT of 2.1 inches. CAPE in the -10 to -30 C layer of the atmosphere was in the 300 to 500 J/kg range, but hail production was limited by the 15,500 foot freezing level. Isolated severe weather developed with spotty high winds. A wind gust of 59 MPH was recorded in Adair, with numerous gusts in the 35 to 50 MPH range. Additional wind gusts occurred in Hardin County near Hubbard where a pull-behind trailer was blown over and several large branches were blown down, and in Bedford where tree branches were downed by the wind gusts from a decaying area of thunderstorms. Lightning struck a house in Dallas County near Dexter, resulting in a small fire there. Ironically, on 11 August 2010 the home was burned as a result of another lightning strike. The house was still under construction from the previous fire and was not occupied. |
