Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeHeavy rainfall continued to affect the Midwest and portions of Iowa, though fortunately no severe weather (hail, winds, etc...) were experienced with this event. The overall pattern was not conducive for traditional severe weather, but with a short wave moving through the upper level flow, precipitable water values around 2 inches, decent 850 mb moisture transport, and MUCAPE values around 1000-1500 J/kg, heavy rainfall prevailed. ||The majority of values were held in check below some of the large values seen earlier in the year, but a wide area from southwest to northeast Iowa did record 2 to around 3 inches of rainfall.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA local photographer came across a smoldering wind turbine that had been struck by lightning overnight. It also had previous damage from a tornado earlier in the year.
