| Episode Narrative | A quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) swept across Iowa late on May 6th and into the early morning hours of May 7th. The line was strongest in southern Iowa where the environment was more supportive of severe weather. Damaging winds and a few embedded tornadoes occurred as the line swept across the state. |
| Event Narrative | Posts on social media indicated damage to the south and east of Ackworth. Damage began near the intersection of 168th Avenue and Kennedy Street where an outbuilding was compromised. The tornado then remained in open fields for much of the remainder of the path but did damage trees at the intersection of Highway 92 and S23 before dissipating. |
