What happened

The episode as NWS DMX wrote it up.

A slowly northward moving boundary/warm front was draped across the area throughout the day. By the evening vigorous storms fired up just north of the boundary and continued as the low level jet began to pick up. Numerous reports of large hail and damaging winds were reported. Fairly quickly after sunset, storms transitioned away from multi-cellular severe to training heavy rain producers over an area NW to SE roughly from Carroll to Bloomfield, including portions of the Des Moines metro. Resulting rainfall totals exceeded 3 inches in many locations and a few eclipsing 5 and 6 inches. Widespread flash flooding and eventually river flooding occurred across large portions of the area mentioned above. Precipitable water values were in the 1.5 to 2.2 inch range with the freezing level around 14 to 15 kft across the state throughout the event.

What forecasters said that day

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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
1142 PM CDT TUE JUN 23 2015

...SEVERE WEATHER AND FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL WEDNESDAY...

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 343 PM CDT TUE JUN 23 2015

MAIN CONCERNS OVERNIGHT WILL BE THE RETURN OF CONVECTION ACROSS
THE SOUTH. FRONT BECOMING MORE ACTIVE ALREADY OVER SOUTHEAST
NEBRASKA TO NORTHWEST MISSOURI WITH GRADUAL DRIFT NORTHEAST WITH
TIME. MODELS HAVE SLOWED NORTHWARD EXPANSION FOR NOW...AS HIGH HAS
BEEN HOLDING FORCING SOUTH OF THE STATE. HOWEVER...DURING THE
NIGHT EXPECT THE FRONT TO DRIFT NORTH AS PROGGED WITH POTENTIAL
FOR SOME STORMS TO AGAIN FIRE ACROSS THE BOUNDARY...ESPECIALLY
TOWARD THE MORNING HOURS AS THE H850 FLOW BECOMES STRONGER AND
MORE PERPENDICULAR TO THE BOUNDARY ONCE AGAIN AND ISENTROPIC LIFT
INCREASES. TRIMMED POP THIS EVENING SOUTHWEST BUT WILL KEEP
INCREASING TRENDS TOWARD MORNING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN GENERAL
SHOULD REMAIN BELOW AN INCH ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST...THOUGH IF SOME
TRAINING OCCURS A FEW LOCATIONS COULD PICK UP MORE THAN AN INCH
OVERNIGHT. STORMS THAT DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHWEST OVERNIGHT MAY
PRODUCE SOME LARGE HAIL AND POTENTIAL FOR WIND...ESPECIALLY LATE
AS THE JET INCREASES TOWARD EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE FOCUS FOR
CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 OVERNIGHT. LOWS
WILL REACH THE UPPER 50S NORTH TO THE MID 60S OVER THE FAR SOUTH
WITH LIGHT SOUTHEAST FLOW EXPECTED.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 343 PM CDT TUE JUN 23 2015

SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK AND HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL ON WEDNESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT WAS THE MAIN CONCERN OVER THE EXTENDED
PERIOD. LEANED TOWARD A NAM/ECMWF BLEND FOR POP/WX TRENDS
WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS GFS SEEMS TOO FAR NORTH WITH
THE WARM FRONT AND THUS CONVECTION.

WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...ONGOING MCS TONIGHT IS
ANTICIPATED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS OVER FAR
SOUTHERN IOWA AND LOOKS TO STAY SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 34 TO THE
MISSOURI BORDER. QUESTIONABLE HOW FAR NORTH THE WARM FRONT WILL
SURGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SURFACE LOW EJECTING OUT OF THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES TOMORROW. THIS IS CERTAINLY DEPENDENT ON THE MCS LOCATION
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...BUT THE NAM/ECMWF AND EVEN THE GFS HAVE A
DECENT HANDLE ON CURRENT CONVECTIVE TRENDS BUT DIFFER IN SOLUTIONS
BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE WARM FRONT SHOULD SURGE NORTH TO
NORTHEAST THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY AND LOOKS TO SET UP BETWEEN
INTERSTATE 80 TO HIGHWAY 20 AND BE SLIGHTLY ORIENTED NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST BY THE LATE AFTERNOON. STRONG IMPULSE PUNCHES INTO
WESTERN IOWA BY THE AFTERNOON AND TRANSITIONS EAST THROUGH THE
STATE INTO THE EVENING HOURS WEDNESDAY. STRONG WAA...MOISTURE
TRANSPORT AND THETA-E ADVECTION INTO THE STATE BEHIND THE WARM
FRONT ALLOWING FOR THE ATMOSPHERE TO QUICKLY DESTABILIZE. THE
SURFACE BASED CAPE INCREASES TO AT LEAST 2500 J/KG BUT POSSIBLY
RISING OVER 4500 J/KG BY THE LATE AFTERNOON ALONG THE MO/IA
BORDER. WEAK CAP IN PLACE...BUT AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LEVEL VORT
MAX WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO INITIATE STORMS. DEEP LAYER SHEAR
RANGES FROM 45 TO 55 KNOTS AND 0-1 KM SHEAR RANGES FROM 20-25
KNOTS WITH GOOD VEERING THROUGH THE LOWER LEVELS LEADING TO A
DECENT TORNADIC POTENTIAL...ESPECIALLY IF STORMS TIE INTO THE
SURFACE BOUNDARY TO ENHANCE ANY LOW LEVEL VORTICITY. LARGE HAIL
AND WIND ARE ALSO HIGHLY LIKELY WITH THESE STORMS. HENCE...HIGH
CONFIDENCE IN SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF
THE FORECAST AREA TOMORROW AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING. LOWER
CONFIDENCE IN LOCATION OF THE SEVERE WEATHER AS DEPENDENT ON WARM
FRONTAL SURGE AND THUS LEFT LIKELY POPS MENTIONED OVER MUCH OF
CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA FROM WEST TO EAST.

OTHER MAJOR CONCERN IS FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL TOMORROW
EVENING...ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHEAST WHERE THIS LOCATION HAS
RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS. WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR 2 INCHES WITH A FEW LOCATIONS IN
SOUTHEAST IOWA NEARING 2.5 INCHES BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. VERY GOOD
MOISTURE TRANSPORT FEEDING INTO THE STATE AND WARM LAYER CLOUD
DEPTHS WELL OVER 13KFT LEADING TO EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS. PLUS
THE CORFIDI VECTORS SUGGEST POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS
AND HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL IN THE SOUTHEAST
AND ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN THIS LOCATION TOMORROW AFTERNOON
INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.

THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...RELATIVELY QUIET WEATHER SETTLES INTO
THE STATE BY THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND WITH FRIDAY SEEING THE BEST
CHANCE OF ANY RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE FORECAST AREA. A DECENT
SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT QUICKLY MOVES
THROUGH THE REGION FRIDAY AND KEPT CHANCE POPS GOING DURING THIS
TIME. OTHERWISE...VERY LOW CONFIDENCE IN TIMING OF WEAK SHORTWAVES
AND TRENDED TOWARD A DRIER FORECAST UNTIL BETTER MODEL AGREEMENT
OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...24/06Z
ISSUED AT 1142 PM CDT TUE JUN 23 2015

WARM ADVECTION UNDERWAY ACROSS SOUTHERN IOWA AS NOTED BY THE MID
DECK OF CLOUDS ACROSS THE I-80 CORRIDOR AND THE SHOWERS BREAKING
OUT.  AS THE LOW LEVEL JET INTENSIFIES THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP ACROSS SW IA AROUND 09Z THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING.  A WARM
FRONT WILL THEN PUSH NORTHWARD THROUGH THE MORNING WHICH WILL LIKELY
PLACE A STRONG CAP ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS UNTIL LOW PRESSURE LIFTS
NORTHEAST DRAGGING A COLD FRONT ACROSS TAF LOCATIONS FROM MID
AFTERNOON THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD.  THUNDERSTORMS WITH
HEAVY RAINFALL WILL OCCUR ALONG THE BOUNDARY.  VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED THROUGH 20Z THEN MVFR CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR WITH STORMS
ALONG THE BOUNDARY 21Z THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE TAF PERIOD.
WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHEASTERLY AROUND 10 KTS THEN WEST LATE POST
FRONTAL.
