A powerful storm system lifted into the central Plains on the afternoon of April 27, 2014 and brought several rounds of showers and thunderstorms to eastern Iowa. Some of these thunderstorms were severe and produced damaging winds and an isolated hail report. In addition to the damaging winds rainfall totals ranged from a half an inch to around 1 inch in a little under an hour.
A 30 knot low level jet impinging on a slow moving warm front triggered scattered thunderstorms during the early morning hours of July 1, 2012. The storms were confined to extreme northeast Missouri, southeast Iowa and western Illinois. A few of the storms produced 60 mph winds which knocked down trees and limbs. Law enforcement reported a tree fell on a house along with power lines down near Leando, Iowa in Van Buren county. There were also a couple of quarter size hail reports from trained spotters. Some of the storms dumped heavy rainfall of over 3 inches in Van Buren county in southeast Iowa.
