Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	An area of low pressure skirted the region north of Iowa, tracking generally southeast through the day. Trailing fronts were draped across western Iowa (stalled turned warm front) and back across western Iowa (cold front). Initially in the the hours just after midnight, a line of storms initiated along the stalled/warm front in an area of MUCAPE around 1000 J/kg and effective bulk shear of 30-40 kts. While primarily periods of heavy rain and small hail prevailed, a couple of severe hail reports were received. Later in the day as the low pressure center moved into northern Iowa, another series of hail producing storms sparked off in an area along the warm front close to the center of the low. MUCAPE and effective bulk shear values were similar to morning storms.
