| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A relatively cool, but juicy atmosphere existed across the area with southerly surface winds dominating and southwesterly mid and upper level flow. During the early morning hours of the 9th, scattered thunderstorms aided by the low level jet remained predominantly sub-severe with small hail. Through the morning and early afternoon hours, a surface warm front entered and moved across the state from southwest to northeast, all the while increasing MUCAPE values across the southeast half to two thirds of the state into the 2000-4000+ J/kg range. Additionally, moderate to steep low level lapse rates boosted DCAPE values into the 1000-1300 J/kg range, increasing the potential for strong downdrafts and resulting surface winds. Effective bulk shear was marginal through most of the event, yielding around 30 to 40kts. ||Resulting storms generally rolled through the state in waves from southwest to northeast, with at least periods of organization. The primary cluster of storms rolled through during the late afternoon, producing a fairly consistent trail severe thunderstorm winds and thunderstorm wind damage from southwest of Des Moines all the way through the Waterloo area. A second round of at least brief sever storms moved through overnight just southeast of the Des Moines metro, but was short lived unlike the cluster earlier in the day. |
