| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A tight low pressure system tracked its way out of north central Kansas on the 12th and slowly meandered northeast near the Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa borders by the early afternoon on the 13th. A relatively stationary warm front draped itself across far southern Iowa, separating temperatures in the upper 70s to the south and 50s to low 60s to the north of the boundary respectively by the afternoon. With the triple point in west to southwest Iowa, storms had little issue initiating by the mid-afternoon hours, quickly growing downstream both south and north of the warm front. With much of the Iowa north of the front, storms were elevated in nature, but produced large amounts of hail and damaging winds. The severe reports began just before 4pm and storms continued to remain near-severe to severe well into the evening, eventually transitioning away from hail as the primary threat and towards damaging winds. Even as the severe storm threat diminished very strong winds remained, including gusts in excess of 60 mph, in the presence of a very tight surface pressure gradient. The same system produced blizzard conditions across northern Iowa on the 14th. Please see the separate entry for the blizzard portion of this event. |
