Now for the fifth consecutive day in a row Iowa saw strong to severe storms. Unlike previous days where storms covered large areas, storms on the 12th were few and far between with the lack of a good initiation mechanism. That isn't to say the environment was not conducive to strong storms though, with MUCAPE values in the 2000 to 4000 J/kg range, effective shear in the 40 to 50 kt range, and hail CAPE values around 500 to 700 J/kg.  Just a couple storms were able to initiate during the late afternoon and evening hours, but given the good environment, were able to obtain strong to severe status relatively quickly. Fortunately, only a small handful of severe weather reports were seen around the Fort Dodge and Pocahontas, IA areas.
