| episode_narrative | A warm front remained nearly stationary from low pressure in South Dakota..southeast into southwest Iowa and northern Missouri. The airmass was quite capped with 700 mb temperatures in the 11 to 14 degree C. range. Thunderstorms fired over northern Iowa by around midnight. The storms were very elevated and were for the most part hail producers. There were numerous reports of three quarter to one inch diameter size hail across north central into northeast Iowa. A few of the storms produced much larger hail. Golf ball size hail fell in Wright County in the Eagle Grove area. in Cerro Gordo County, Mason City was hard hit by another storm. There were several reports of golf ball size hail causing damage to several homes. Numerous windows were broken and some damage was reported to the siding of several homes as the hail was accompanied by 40 to 50 MPH winds. About three hours later, another cell dropped large hail in Butler County. Considerable damage occurred in the town of Parkersburg as golf ball to baseball size hail pelted the city. Toward the end of the event, a few of the cells became wind producers as they weakened. Severe criteria wind occurred in Butler County as winds of 60 to 70 MPH were reported. Several trees were downed and power was knocked out in the Allison area. Fortunately, much of the area that received heavy rainfall was relatively dry during June. Flash flooding occurred in Butler County with several reports of roads being washed out and flooding of residences basements. Rainfall of two to four inches was common with most of it falling in under 3 hours. During the storms, a minivan was struck by lightning east of Waterloo. The lightning traveled through the van, blowing out the rear window. It also left a 2 foot diameter crater in the roadway on U.S. Highway 20. |
