The episode as NWS DMX wrote it up.
Associated with the progressing cold front, a few storms fired up across southern iowa. A few funnel clouds were reported with two of the stronger storms. The 0-3 km CAPE was around 75 to 100 J/kg with higher values of surface vorticity as well.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Des Moines, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 15, 11:48 AM CST, 12 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA 1248 PM CDT MON JUN 15 2015 .SHORT TERM /TODAY/... ISSUED AT 345 AM CDT MON JUN 15 2015 PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN THE FOCUS TODAY WITH THE MAIN THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN LEADING TO ISOLATED AREAS OF FLASH FLOODING. COLD FRONT HAS MEANDERED INTO NORTHWEST IOWA AND WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE STATE TODAY. AHEAD OF THE FRONT THERE IS PLENTY OF MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND ISENTROPIC LIFT ALONG THE 305-320 K SURFACE PERSISTS INTO THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA TODAY. THERE IS A BROAD AND WEAK AREA OF FORCING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND EXPECTING THE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS TO PERSIST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RANGE FROM 1.5 TO 2 INCHES AND THE WARM LAYER CLOUD DEPTHS REMAIN IN THE 3800 TO 4100 METERS. THE UPWIND PROPAGATION VECTOR OVER CENTRAL IOWA REMAIN WEAK AND THUS THESE STORMS/SHOWERS WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE AND CONTINUE TO BE VERY EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS. HOWEVER...THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL REMAINS ISOLATED AND SHORT-LIVED IN NATURE AND HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE WITH ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH ATTM. THAT BEING SAID...THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN SOME FLASH FLOODING ISSUES IN ANKENY DUE TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND EXPECT THE VERY ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL TO REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH AT LEAST MIDDAY OVER CENTRAL TO SOUTHERN IOWA...MAINLY OVER URBAN AREAS. THE LATEST HRRR (15.07Z) HAS A DECENT HANDLE ON OVERALL RADAR TRENDS...BUT THINK IT IS SLIGHTLY TOO FAR NORTH WITH THE PROGRESSION OF THE HEAVIEST RAIN TODAY. LEANED TOWARD A RUC/HRRR BLEND FOR POPS UNTIL 18Z AND THEN NAM12 THIS AFTERNOON. .LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... ISSUED AT 345 AM CDT MON JUN 15 2015 BY THIS EVENING THE FRONT AND ASSOCIATED FORCING WILL BE MOVING OUT OF THE AREA. LINGERING SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE PRIOR TO 06Z SOUTH WITH MOST OF THE AREA DONE WITH THE RAINFALL. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WILL BE THE NEAR THE IOWA MISSOURI BORDER WHERE SOME RAIN MAY LINGER ON TUESDAY. FEEL THAT MOST OF THE RAIN WILL BE SOUTH OF THE BORDER...BUT HAVE INCLUDED A SMALL AREA ALONG THE BORDER AS FRONT MAY STALL AND DRIFT SLIGHTLY NORTH DURING THE DAY. AS THE HIGH RETREATS EAST ON TUESDAY...RETURN FLOW OVER THE ROCKIES WILL DIRECT ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY ACROSS THE DAKOTAS AND MN THROUGH 06Z. THIS WILL INDUCE A SFC LOW AND INCREASE THUNDER CHANCES NORTHWEST TOWARD MORNING WITH SLIGHT CHANCES ELSEWHERE. THIS NEXT SYSTEM IS PROGGED TO CROSS THE REGION BY 12Z THURSDAY AS REMNANTS OF A TROPICAL SYSTEM PASS JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA. TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL NOT VARY MUCH WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 70S TO LOWER 80S AND LOWS IN THE 60S TO NEAR 70. BY FRIDAY A STRONGER STORM SYSTEM IS STILL ANTICIPATED TO FORM OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES WITH WESTERLIES ALOFT INCREASING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THE AIRMASS OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL STILL BE HAVE ABUNDANT AVAILABLE MOISTURE WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER FORECAST OVER 2 INCHES BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. WARM CLOUD DEPTHS WILL BE OVER 13KFT. WITH THE SYSTEM INCREASING WARM AIR ADVECTION OVER THE AREA...LIKELY THAT HIGHS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S EACH DAY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY BEFORE A STRONG COLD FRONT DROPS TEMPERATURES SUNDAY AND MONDAY BACK INTO THE 70S WITH LOWS IN THE 50S. AS MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS...POTENTIAL FOR A MORE SIGNIFICANT PERIOD OF ACTIVE WEATHER LOOKS TO BE IN STORE FOR THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING INTO EARLY SUNDAY. ONCE THE MAIN FRONT PASSES...THE CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN ON SUNDAY...THOUGH THEY WILL BE DIMINISHING THROUGH THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS AS NORTHWEST WINDS AND DRIER AIR WORKS BACK INTO THE STATE. MONDAY WILL BE MUCH COOLER WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE 70S WITH LOWS IN THE 50S TO LOWER 60S. && .AVIATION...15/18Z ISSUED AT 1248 PM CDT MON JUN 15 2015 AREA OF SHOWERS TO CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH THE CWA FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AS A COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY SINKS THROUGH THE STATE. SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTHERN IOWA THIS AFTERNOON EMBEDDED IN THE AREA OF SHOWERS. MAINLY VFR CIGS WITH POCKETS OF MVFR/IFR FOR A FEW MORE HOURS...THEN CONDITIONS SHOULD GO VFR FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AS PRECIPITATION MOVES OUT OF THE AREA. WIND TO BE PRIMARILY NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT...SHIFTING AROUND TO THE NORTHEAST FOR TUESDAY. && .HYDROLOGY... ISSUED AT 345 AM CDT MON JUN 15 2015 LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL CONTINUES OVER THE AREA EARLY THIS MORNING. MONITORING FOR LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING AND POTENTIALLY A FEW RIVERS GOING ABOVE MINOR FLOOD STAGE TODAY OR TUESDAY. RAINFALL RATES HAVE BEEN IMPRESSIVE...WITH STREET FLOODING REPORTED IN ANKENY ABOUT 3 AM CDT THIS MORNING...WITH UP TO A HALF DOZEN INTERSECTIONS CLOSED AND A FEW CARS STRANDED. SEVERAL ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF RAIN MOVING NORTHEAST TOWARD THE AREA YET THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. WILL MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE FLASH FLOOD WATCH HEADLINES...
