| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | General surface high pressure remained in the region, keeping the area hot. With moisture off the from remnants of Alberto and general southerly flow down to the Gulf of Mexico, moisture was fairly plentiful with surface dew points in the mid to upper 60s. Support for sustained severe weather was fairly lackluster, with limited hail CAPE, negligible effective shear, but overall SBCAPE values did exceed 3000 to 4000 J/kg. DCAPE values were relatively high in excess of 1000 to 1200 J/kg, raising concern for strong downdrafts/microbursts. ||Lingering convection from western Kansas the day before slowly worked towards western Iowa in the morning hours as waves ejected from a western upper level trough. Additionally, weak warm air advection aided initial storm initiation across the western half of Iowa ahead of the larger wave moving off the Rockies. Initially, numerous storms were seen by early afternoon with most being sub-severe. Outflows form early storms also proceeded to initiate subsequent storms, eventually congealing briefly into a linear looking structure. Nearly all severe reports received were wind related from microbursts and collapsing storms as well as one landspout near Ames. Power outages occurred with the storms with at over 9,000 customers without power at one time or another between Ames and Des Moines. |
