Weather forecast office sourcewfo_sourceNEWSPAPER
Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn outflow boundary from convection in Minnesota combined with an upper level disturbance, a weak low level jet, a semi-moist atmosphere, and a warm front running from central Iowa to central Illinois to produce a severe mesoscale convective system across eastern Iowa and northern Illinois. Numerous measuring equipment at airports and spotters reported winds of 43 to 49 knots (50 to 56 mph) associated with the gust front. Numerous trees were downed and sections of corn fields were laid flat by gusts associated with the storms that exceeded 52 knots (60 mph). Due to high freezing levels in the atmosphere, very little hail was reported.
