Hail in Adair County, Iowa
Hail April 30, 2024 · Adair County, Iowa
Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.
The wider storm
An embedded shortwave passed across Iowa in the afternoon, providing a focus for convection as it phased with an increasing southerly moisture stream. Steep lapse rates, plenty of instability, and hodographs supporting rotating updrafts all came together to create an environment supportive of hail producing supercells. Storms remained somewhat discrete and produced swaths of hail across central and southern Iowa. The largest hail reported was up to baseball sized in Appanoose County. A tornado also occurred in Wayne County east of Millerton with the storms.
Began near Bridgewater (41.2000, -94.6600).
