The episode as NWS DMX wrote it up.
A warm frontal boundary was located over Iowa from near Sioux City through Storm Lake, to Keokuk. Moisture was in short supply, however there was enough to set off some fairly strong thunderstorms. A cluster of thunderstorms formed over South Dakota and became severe, producing a bow echo as they moved into northwest Iowa. Though the winds diminished by the time the storms reached the Des Moines CWA, they storms did produce nickle size hail as they moved through the Charter Oak area of Crawford County.
