This is a friendly FYI that Winter Storm Warning criteria is 6"+ of snow in 12 hours or 8"+ in 24 hours. It's been that way for awhile. No one's using the phrase "winter storm" for hype.

A boundary passing though Iowa is providing convergence at the surface & low-level lapse rates are high, allowing air to rise quickly (left map). Right map shows an increase in SPC's Non-supercell Tornado Parameter as a result.

Not all derechos are the same - the definition is a windstorm that produces 58 mph winds, frequent gusts to 75 mph, and travels at least 400 miles. The storm system that moved through eastern Iowa Friday morning met that criteria, but a far cry from 8/10/2020 (THANKFULLY). #iawx
