episode_narrativeA weak flow pattern was in place over Iowa with a broad upper level ridge of high pressure over the state. A very weak cold front sagged south into Iowa during the afternoon. Thunderstorms developed along the front, however the dynamics were quite weak and moisture was quite limited. Along the line, winds of 40 to 50 MPH were common, along with numerous reports of pea to marble size hail. A report of hail around three quarters inch in diameter was received during the early afternoon over Emmet County. There wasn't't any other severe weather until the late afternoon hours. A brief spin-up tornado developed in Sac County north of Auburn as two outflow boundaries collided and a strong thunderstorm developed over the area. The tornado was very brief and no damage was reported as it touched down in open country. As the storms moved through Winnebago County lightning struck the Forest City School's wind turbine. Damage was done to the electrical equipment and the turbine was down for a few days.
