A low pressure system developed off the Rockies in the Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota region and deepened as it moved eastward through South Dakota through the day on the March 6th. Southerly flow had already established itself and was bringing up Gulf of Mexico moisture into the Plains. A dry line also developed out ahead of the parent cold front, sparking initial storms in eastern Nebraska during the afternoon hours. Storms relatively quickly developed into a linear system, though a few isolated storms developed out ahead of the main line and proceeded to produce severe hail. As the line of storms progressed eastward through Iowa, they produced numerous severe hail and damaging wind reports. Additionally, a few tornadoes developed along the line, producing damage primarily in central and southern Iowa.
