An Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) developed southwest of Iowa during the evening of the 10th and lifted northeast across the state during the morning of the 11th.  Though no severe weather was associated with the MCS, high winds developed following its passage.  As the MCS lifted northeast of the state, strong east to southeast winds developed in the wake of it.  The winds knocked down two barns, along with numerous trees and power lines in Latimer in Franklin County.  In Chapin, also in Franklin County, high winds blew over a semi-tractortrailer truck at the 176 mile marker of Interstate 35.   There were several reports of minor damage across about the north third of Iowa.
