Missing Ames

Posted: 16 Jul 2009 06:12 AM

Tuesday evening and into early Wednesday morning saw a strong line of storms bring heavy rain and large hail to Iowa. The featured image is the max base reflectivity composite for a time period between 7 PM Tuesday evening to 7 PM Wednesday. The white dot on the map is the location of Ames and you can see that the storm tracks missed the city. Very large hail (upwards of 3 inch diameter) was reported just south of Ames in the Des Moines area.
