The wider storm
Following showers and thunderstorms over Iowa during the morning hours with a passing shortwave, an additional shortwave arriving in the Central Plains with the aid of increased lift and MUCAPE values around 1000 J/kg overhead brought another round of scattered showers and storms into the afternoon and evening hours. These multiple rounds of convection, along with the slow-moving nature of some storms led to heavy rainfall and eventually flash flooding, particularly over Wright county. Reports of flooded roads and rainfall totals averaging between 3-5 inches were common. Severe wind was also reported in Adair county.
Began near Eagle Grove (42.6700, -93.9200).
