A decaying area of thunderstorms produced a small heat burst over small portions of Eastern Iowa Monday morning. The featured chart is a 1 minute time series of AWOS observations from the Monticello airport. You can see the classic coupled rise of temperature with drop of dew point with an increased wind speed. Sometimes these events can lead to very rapid warming (enough to damage some plants).
