Event narrative

Quarter sized hail reported by trained spotter.

Wider weather episode

Storms developed in late afternoon along a boundary across northern Iowa, then sunk south through the evening. Storms were able to organize into a more cohesive line with 2000+ J/kg of MLCAPE and around 30 kts of shear. Storms initially resulted in a number of quarter sized hail reports, then transitions to wind damage as the cold pool surged south ahead of the line through the evening.
