Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	Southern Iowa found itself north of a relatively stationary surface boundary, which was laid out across northern Missouri. An 850mb front was situated a bit further north, over much of southern Iowa, with a decent moisture fetch from the Gulf of Mexico. Given the relation to the surface front, elevated showers and storms were the name of the game. MUCAPE values were generally around 1000 to 1500 J/kg, along with precipitable water values approaching 1.5 to 1.75 inches, climatologically anomalous for the time of the year. Lacking supporting parameters, no severe weather was seen, but heavy rainfall did lead to localized flooding. As thunderstorms moved through the Des Moines metro area, three individuals were struck by lightning walking to their cars in a parking lot.
