Moderately unstable air was in place over Iowa as an upper level low pressure area lifted northeast across the area.  At the surface, low pressure moved into west central Iowa by the early afternoon hours.  A warm front extended east from the low across central Iowa.  Temperatures warmed into the low to mid 80s south of the front with dew point readings around 70 degrees.  CAPE values by late afternoon were in the 2200 J/kg range with lifted indices in the -4 to -5 degree range.  Thunderstorms developed by the early afternoon hours.  Most of the storms remained well below severe limits.  There were a couple exceptions.  One storm produced a microburst southwest of Adel in Dallas County.  IT downed a narrow area of two to three foot diameter trees.  Another storm in Calhoun produced a small tornado north of Rockwell City.  The tornado touched down in open country and did not cause any damage to speak of.  The main threat with the thunderstorms through the afternoon and evening hours was the heavy rainfall north of the warm front.  Rainfall of 2 to 5 inches was reported across the north quarter of the state.  Heavy rainfall caused flash flooding in Cerro Gordo County in the Mason City area.  Widespread 2 to 3 inch amounts were reported in the city on top of already saturated ground, resulting in flash flooding.  In the Rudd area of nearby Floyd County, reports were received of 7.5 inches of rain falling, most of it within just one hour.
