Tornado in Carroll County, Iowa

The tornado was captured via a photograph and found on social media. It was a brief landspout located south of Templeton Iowa impacting no damage indicator, hence the EFU rating.

A surface low for a few days July 7th and 8th. While the parameter space was not conducive to strong convection, the steep lapse rates, low LCLs, and sufficient 0-3 km CAPE resulted in a favorable environment for funnel cloud development both days. Several funnel clouds were reported across central and northern Iowa, along with two tornadoes documented under developing storms during the afternoon of July 7th. These spin-ups remained in open areas with little damage. Storms were also efficient rain producers, with a pocket of 3 to 5 inches in Hardin and Grundy counties.
