A strong cold front dropped south across Iowa during the afternoon of the 2nd. The front was actually two fold and included a wind shift that occurred about 50 miles or so ahead of the main dewpoint boundary.  Thunderstorms initially formed along the dewpoint boundary during the mid afternoon hours.  By late afternoon, the focus shifted to the main wind shift line.  The atmosphere became quiet unstable after convection from the morning and early afternoon moved out.  Temperatures rose into the 85 to 90 degree range with dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s.  CAPE rose to 3500 to 4000 J/kg with the lifted index falling to around -10 C. The environment was weakly sheared with 20 to 25 kts of effective shear.  The freezing level was between 13,000 and 13,500 feet, however CAPE in the -10 to -30 C. layer of the atmosphere was round 500 J/kg.  A scattered line of thunderstorms developed along the dewpoint boundary initially as mentioned, however the storms had a hard time remaining in tact as a fairly strong cap was present.  Later, a more organized line formed along the wind shift line across southern Iowa.  It too had a hard time becoming very organized and produced mostly pea to marble size hail.  A few of the storms became severe and dropped three quarter to one inch diameter hail in Poweshiek and Clarke Counties.

Major to near record flooding occurred during the month of April 2008.  Flooding continued at some locations from events that began in March, and also continued into May.  This particular flood event for most of the region was the worst since 1997.  Although the Flood of 2001 saw higher crests on the Mississippi River, that flood affected primarily the Mississippi River itself and only a few of its tributaries.  This year's flood event affected the Mississippi River as well as many of its tributaries.
A series of moderate to record high rainfall events continued the flooding at many locations that set flooding in motion at other locations.  The most notable heavy rainfall event occurred from April 24-25 when 5 or more inches of rain fell from north central Iowa into southern Wisconsin.  The Iowa, Cedar, Wapsipinicon and Maquoketa River basins received the heaviest rainfall.  With soil moisture at or above the 95th percentile for that time of year, much of the rainfall became runoff and quickly ran into streams and creeks.  The initial result was flash flooding especially across northeast Iowa. The event then transitioned to a river flood event, with major to near record crests experienced on the Cedar, Wapsipinicon and Maquoketa Rivers.  The Mississippi River also experienced major flooding.  All forecast points on the Mississippi River from Dubuque to Keokuk topped flood stage.
As of April 30th many forecast points continued seeing stages above flood stage.  Affected rivers included the Mississippi, Cedar, Iowa, Wapsipinicon and the Maquoketa.
