Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA strong low pressure system lifted northeast across the state during the afternoon of the 2nd. At the same time, the upper level system lifted northeast and captured the surface feature by the afternoon hours. Several rounds of thunderstorms rotated in spiral bands across the state. The atmosphere became unstable during the afternoon with MUCAPE in the 2000 J/kg range and the effective shear around 30 kts. A band of thunderstorms rotated north into northern Iowa. The storms produced winds around 60 MPH in parts of northern Iowa. The highs winds caused some damage to a bar and business in Manly.
