The wider storm
A warm, moist, and unstable air mass across the region ahead of a southward sinking cold front resulted in thunderstorm development, with several being severe. These produced large hail and scattered damaging winds. Most hail reports ranged in size from quarter to golf ball size hail. The largest hail fell in Van Buren County near Keosauqua where 2 to 3 inch diameter hail fell. There were also a few reports of 60 to 80 MPH across far southeast Iowa into west central Illinois, which damaged trees and knocked down several outbuildings. The most widespread damage occurred near Oakville, IA. Two brief, non-damaging tornadoes were also seen north of Macomb, IL.
Began near Bardolph (40.5140, -90.5560).
