Once again it was a very active severe weather day over Iowa.  The frontal system that had moved through the state on the night of the 22nd was returning north as a warm front.  This time Iowa did not get completely into the warm sector.  The surface front was dragged north into Iowa by low pressure that moved out of Kansas northeast into central Iowa by the mid to late evening.  The airmass was pushed southeast out of the state by a cold front that passed through the state during the evening and early morning hours.  The airmass in the warm sector became very unstable.  Lifted indices were around -13 C with CAPE values greater than 5000 J/kg by the late afternoon.  The air advected north into Iowa during the day and into the evening.  Thunderstorms erupted in two places.  The first to affect the DSM CWA was the development of several elevated supercells over west central into southwest Iowa.  The storms continued to lift east and northeast across the area.  A few tornadoes touched down, however with the very elevated nature of the storms it was very difficult for the tornadoes to reach the ground.  By the late afternoon, a solid squall line developed along the cold front.  The line took on a Line Echo Wave Pattern by evening.  Several segments of the line bowed out, resulting in high winds.  At times the winds reached 80 MPH.  One of the thunderstorms produced high winds in the Early area of Sac County.  They overturned a semi-tractortrailer truck, causing $80,000 damage and causing minor injuries to the driver.  Tornadoes that formed along this line actually formed where the Rear Flank Downdraft cut through the line.  A clear meso was formed and the small tornadoes advanced around the meso and were in front of the thunderstorm line.  Touchdowns were all brief.  Hail was common with the stronger storm, with much of it in the one to one and three-quarter inch in diameter.  Given the antecedent soil conditions in Iowa, flash flooding became a major issue.  Numerous counties reported flash flooding as rainfall of one to 4 inches in spots resulted in flooded highways.  The thunderstorms formed into an MCC by the early evening hours.  As they moved out of the state, they delivered one more punch to the state.  High winds developed in the wake of the complex.  Several counties of north central, northeast, and central Iowa received high winds.  Damage occurred in several locations to both trees and out buildings.  Sustained winds across the area were in the 25 to 45 MPH range with some higher gusts.  Clarion reported a wind gust of 63 MPH for the highest wind gust reported.
