sweetapricity/bridgedeck-noaa huggingface dataset:
A complex weather pattern was over Iowa during the afternoon and evening hours of the 20th.  During the morning hours, an MCC moved through eastern South Dakota, southern Minnesota, and into parts of northwest and north central Iowa.  The outflow boundary from this system progressed south into southern Iowa by the afternoon hours.  At the same time a strong cold front was moving southeast across the Dakotas and Minnesota.  The airmass was very unstable across Iowa with CAPE values in the 4000 to 5500 J/kg range and lifted indices in the -10 to -13 C. range.  Thunderstorms formed into a scattered line ahead of the cold front.  Severe weather was surprisingly scattered and mostly limited to hail.  Large hail of golf ball or larger was reported with the stronger cells.  Franklin County was hard hit with golf ball to tennis ball hail reported.  Hail an inch or larger was also reported in Sac and Decatur Counties.  In southwest Iowa, one thunderstorm cell became severe and produced high winds.  A wind gust of 58 MPH was measured at the Atlantic Airport.  Winds near 65 MPH caused damage on a farmstead near Sully in Jasper County.  One tornado touched down in northern Iowa south of the town of Thor.  The tornado briefly touched down in a farm field, causing little damage.
