JOHNSON COUNTY SKYWARN NET 29 MAY 2019

SUMMARY The Johnson County Skywarn Net was called a 7:15 PM (Local) following issue by NWS of a Warning that included parts of Johnson County. Several Stations observed storm rotation, wall clouds and funnels. These observations were reported directly to NWS by telephone and are not detailed here. There were several additional tornado warnings and modifications of tornado warnings during the course of the net, in addition to a flash warning and concluding with a severe warning. The rain was significant‐‐ KD0L recorded a rate of 1.46 inches/hr at his location in Coralville/Oakdale and measured rainfall of 0.7" at time of report, which doubtless increased over the remainder of the net.

We had good fortune to have a number of stations who were in position to watch parts of the storms as they moved slowly through the area and who provided reports to NWS and the Net. I am especially grateful to K0IVY who was able to provide frequent updates from NWS via NWS Chat and to the stations listed below as "mobile" who were able to provide close‐in observations . The Hawk Alert system provided rapid notifications of warnings by means of telephone and e‐mail. Also of note was the cooperation of observers in adjacent counties (especially Washington and Cedar) who were able to contact the net directly or by relay.

The net stood down at 9:52 PM (Local)‐‐KI0JP, reporting
