| Episode Narrative | A boundary lifting north through Iowa was the focus for convection and tornado development. Sufficient instability and enhanced shear near the boundary helped produce seven tornadoes on this day. One tornado occurred in Waukee, Iowa but produced only EF0 damage. The strongest tornado was an EF1 located south of Eagle Grove reaching a width of almost 250 yards. |
| Event Narrative | A storm chaser caught a brief tornado in rural Boone county. The tornado did not impact any damage indicators, hence the EFU rating. |
