Iowa was sandwiched between a northern plains surface low and mid atlantic high pressure, firmly in a southwest flow regime with tight pressure gradient lending support
for gusty winds most of the day. Model soundings were exceedingly dry with 40 degree dewpoint depressions and winds at the top of the mixed layer pushing 50 knots at times. This resulted in elevated to extreme fire weather concerns across the state and a red flag warning was issued. Deep mixing sent many locations into record warm temperatures that afternoon and winds gusted over 40 mph. A couple locations in northern and central Iowa gusted over 55 mph.
