Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA slow moving, nearly stationary boundary was oriented across Iowa from southwest to northeast during the 13th. Storms initiated along and near the boundary during the overnight hours from the 12th to the 13th and onward through the day. The environment on the warm side of the front was CAPE filled with SBCAPE values in excess of 3000-4000 J/kg. Additionally, much like the convective season to this point, other supporting severe weather parameters were lacking such as effective shear (under 30 kts), DCAPE (under 1000 J/kg), and hail CAPE (under 500 J/kg) to name a few. The result was typically short lived strong storms, but a few were able to at least briefly organized near the front or along outflow boundaries and produce sporadic strong and damaging winds.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeTwo men were taken to the hospital after being struck by lightning at a golf course. Both men were injured and then released the following day from the hospital. One suffered nerve damage and the loss of hearing on one of his ears.
