This storm produced widespread liquid precipitation totals of 3 to 6 inches in the Sierra Nevada. For much of this event, the snow level was around 7500 feet which resulted in heavy runoff of snow accumulations from recent colder storms. This runoff combined with rainfall of 2 to 4 inches in the Sierra foothills and 1 to 2.5 inches in the San Joaquin Valley to produce widespread flooding across the area with at least 150 separate incidents of flooding being reported to the Hanford NWS office. The flooding resulted in numerous roads being closed and several evacuations took place including the entire town of Planada in Merced County which was inundated with flood waters. In addition, Bear Creek overflowed it's banks and reached a new record peak flood of 26.2 feet at McKee Bridge east of Merced on January 10. Above the snow line, there were several reports of 2 to 4 feet of new snowfall above 7500 feet in the Sierra Nevada.

This event brought widespread significant, and sometimes historic record setting rainfall to locations across Southeast Alaska. There were multiple waves along the main front to produce a quasi-stationary front and allowed heavy precipitation to persist over the panhandle for a long duration. Rainfall amounts were as high as over 15 at Little Port Walter with most other locations reporting 5 to 12 over the 2 days. Juneau, Skagway and Haines airports broke their all time daily precipitation record on December 1st along with the all time 2 day total when both days are combined. Rainfall intensity recurrence intervals ranged from a 50 to 200 year event when looking at 6,12,24,48 hour time periods. In some locations the precipitation started out as snow, minor accumulations but then changed quickly over to moderate/heavy rain. Significant snowfall did occur mainly at high elevations and along the Haines and Klondike highways before transition to rain as temperatures rose above freezing all the way up to 6000 feet with the impacting warm front. Snow accumulations were very impressive from December 1st into the 2nd with 18 at 800 feet near the Haines US customs border station and a staggering 59 at 2560 feet on Mount Ripinski above Haines. There was persistent precipitation that occured the previous weeks to keep the soils on the wet side. The heavy precipitation and warm temperatures melted snow that had already accumulated on the ground at sea level then as the snow level climbed above the mountain top this increased the amount of runoff significantly from the mountains. All the excess runoff resulted in significant and in places record flooding of roads and homes, erosion that damaged roads and infrastructure, and widespread mass wasting events such as landslides and debris flows. Most of these impacts were reported to have started in the early morning hours of December 2nd and persist into December 3rd or longer. The northern half of Southeast Alaska saw most if not all of these impacts with a few specific rivers, Salmon River in Gustavus and Jordan Creek in Juneau, seeing record river stage values. Widespread damaging debris flows impacted Juneau, Skagway and Haines that took out roads, destroyed homes and caused 2 fatalities in Haines. ��To go along with the heavy precipitation there was also very strong damaging winds as the waves moved along the front over the panhandle. These strong winds damaged power lines from falling trees.��In total there were about 7 communities (Haines, Juneau, Skagway, Gustavus, Hoonah, Tenakee Springs, and Hyder) that declared a disaster from this event. As the atmospheric river moved over the far north central inner channels of Southeast Alaska it produced significant amount of precipitation from December 1st-2nd. Heavy to moderate rainfall persisted over 48 hours with the highest amounts coming during the afternoon hours of December 1 through late morning of December 2nd. By mid morning on December 1st, near 2 of precipitation already fell. The snow levels were low at the start of the event with a few inches at sea level in Haines but as much as 12 was reported at 800 feet by the Haines40NW COOP and 20 at the 2500 foot Flower Mt SNOTEL site by the morning of December 1st. Closer to Haines, the Ripinski ridge weather station at 2560 feet reported an estimated snow accumulation of near 59 from before the warm air moved into the area. The snow level rose rapidly through the evening of December 1st to be above the mountain tops by the early morning hours of December 2nd. This warming at elevation melted the fresh snow that fell with Ripinkis Ridge losing close to 30 and Flower Mt losing near 20 by the afternoon of December 2nd. By the end of December 1st the Haines airport reported a 24 hour precipitation amount of 5.49 which was a 25 to 50 year event and broke the all time daily precipitation record from 1946. The Haines COOP reported at 7am AKST on December 2nd a 24 hour amount of 6.62 which also broke the all time daily precipitation record from 2005. Haines40NW COOP along the Haines Hwy reported at 7am AKST on December 2nd a 24 hour precipitation amount of 5.23 a new all time daily precipitation record beating out 1999 and a 25 year event. From December 1st to the 2nd precipitation amounts from the downtown Haines COOP were 8.54���, Haines Airport 10.26��� a 200-500 year event, and the Haines40NW COOP 8.12��� a 50-100 year event, were all time 48 hours precipitation records. From December 1st to 3rd 10 to 10.50 of precipitation fell from downtown Haines to the Haines border with a 100 to 200 year event. All of this heavy rainfall and snow melt produced significant impacts in the Haines area. In the early hours of December 2 after all-time record rainfall, saturated soils, and a deep snowpack, a second impulse of heavy precipitation moved over the area, and the snow level rose above 2500ft. The rising snow level began to melt the fresh snowfall at high elevation to produce significant amount of runoff that overwhelmed drainage ditches and culverts. The intense runoff began to erode the roads at the base of Ripinski Ridge and by day break there was significant infrastructure damage to all roads near Ripinski ridge which left Piedad Rd, Cathedral View Dr, Allen Rd, Comstock Rd, 4th ave,Young Rd to name a few that were impassable as the roads were washed away from erosion. There was also significant flooding away from the steep terrain from poor drainage not keeping up with the amount of runoff. Up to 4 feet of water flooded the Haines Hitch-Up RV park along with flooding across places at the Haines airport essentially closing it down to flights. To go along with the major road infrastructure damage there were a number significant major debris flows from the intense precipitation, super saturated soils and strong winds to help trigger the slides that blocked roads and damaged homes near steep terrain. Haines was cut off from the Canadian Border and the airport due to debris flows blocking the Haines Hwy. There were also multiple debris flows along Lutak Rd that damaged the Lutak fuel Dock, blocked the road in multiple locations and isolated residence in a subdivision at the end of the road. A few homes at the end of Lutak Rd we significantly damaged from debris flows coming down behind their homes with one getting pushed off its foundation, another with debris in the house and another with minor damage. Mud Bay Rd was blocked by a debris flow which isolated another part of town. A large avalanche came down into Chilkat Lake out the Haines Hwy that damaged a few homes. Residence in the affected areas and other locations near steep terrain were evacuated to emergency shelters throughout the morning of December 2. Heavy rain continued into the afternoon hours and around 130pm AKST a massive landslide occurred along Beach Rd that took out a 200 yard section of the road, destroyed 2 homes while causing major damage to another. One of the destroyed homes was not occupied but the other had to 2 people inside. The 2 people perished from the landslide or what the geologist are calling a geologic mass wasting event. There were about a half dozen homes on the south side of the slide that were evacuated due to the threat of another very large landside. It continued to be very wet with freezing levels going up and down to keep increase runoff not just from the precipitation but also from snow melt for the next week with a 7 day total of 14.85 which is a near 150 year event. The continue precipitation on the super saturated soils kept the threat of more debris flows high through December 7th. There was some minor movements of a home near an old landslide from 2012 called the slump area. This was one of the most impactful flooding and debris flow event since 2005 or ever and the data backups extreme impacts. The city of Haines declared a disaster for this event from the widespread and extensive infrastructure damage, 2 homes destroyed, 7 homes with major damage, 16 homes with minor damage with another 12 home adversely affected from the area damage and the 2 deaths.

This moisture surge resulted in the development of showers and thunderstorms mainly the San Joaquin Valley during the afternoon and evening hours with the most noticeable impact being outflow wind gusts. Hillary weakened into a Tropical Storm and moved into southern California on August 20 resulting in moderate to heavy rainfall across the mountains and deserts of Kern County with several stations picking up between 3 and 5 inches of rainfall with a few stations receiving more than 5.5 inches of rainfall. Much of the Sierra Nevada south of Kings Canyon picked up between 1 and 3 inches of rainfall while the south San Joaquin Valley measured between a half inch and an inch. Further north, rainfall amounts were lower, but many new daily rainfall records were set for August 20. Numerous reports of flash flooding and road closures were observed in Kern County during the afternoon of August 20 through the early morning of August 21. The rains dissipated during the morning of August 21, but an offshore trough provided for enough instability for thunderstorms to break out over the area during the afternoon of August 21 which produced locally heavy rainfall. The trough lifted northeast on August 22 resulting in the moisture being pushed out of our area and drier conditions prevailed for the remainder of the week.

The damage and power outages led to the cancellation of classes at the University of Louisiana-Monroe for the following week. ||Jackson Parish: Numerous trees were down across the parish, particularly across the southern portion of the parish and to exposed areas along Caney Creek Reservoir in the Jimmie Davis State Park. One tree fell into a single wide mobile home and killed a 51 year old male on Ayres Loop in Jonesboro. The sustained winds bent trees and the brief stronger winds gusts helped contribute to the tree snaps in the Jimmie Davis State Park. The tree falls generally ranged from the southwest to west-southwest. Power outages to nearly 100 percent of parish residents. ||Caldwell Parish: Multiple trees and power lines down on Highway 4 West between Wiles Road and Mount Pleasant Road, as well as others areas throughout the parish. ||Winn Parish: Scattered to widespread tree damage across the parish, particularly across the central and western portions of the parish which were impacted by the eastern edge of Laura's center of circulation. The tree damage in Winnfield was significant with mostly uproots and some snaps. A few incidents of structural roof damage not caused by downed trees was observed. The tree fall ranged from the northwest to the southwest. Power outages to nearly 100 percent of parish residents. ||La Salle Parish: Scattered to numerous tree damage throughout the parish. A few incidents of structural damage not caused by downed trees were observed in Jena. The Jena High School Gymnasium lost a significant portion of its roofing material, with some damage to signs in front of the school. The awning covering a portion of the parking lot of a local Jena business was destroyed. Trees were also blown down onto homes and vehicles in Jena. The tree fall ranged from the northwest to northeast as the center of Laura's circulation passed just west of the parish. Power outages to nearly 100 percent of parish residents. ||Grant Parish: Scattered to widespread tree damage in the parish, particularly across the central and western portions of the parish which were impacted by the eastern edge of Laura's circulation. A few incidents of structural damage not caused by downed trees were observed, particularly around Dry Prong where a cluster of metal building systems lost a significant portion of roof panels. The most concentrated tree damage (and related home and electrical infrastructure damage related to tree fall) occurred between Dry Prong and the Bentley community along Rob Wallace Road. The tree fall ranged from the west through the northeast, suggesting wind damage was occurring both preceding and in wake of Laura's center of circulation. Power outages to nearly 100 percent of parish residents. ||Natchitoches Parish:Scattered to widespread tree damage in the parish, particularly across the southern and eastern portions of the parish which were impacted by the northern and eastern edge of Laura's center of circulation. The most concentrated damage observed was in Cloutierville and Natchez and locations between these communities along the Cane River. In Cloutierville, hardwood and softwood trees were snapped and uprooted around many homes. In Natchez, most trees were uprooted, while some were snapped. The roof was blown off of the Police Dept. in Robeline. Interstate 49 was closed near Highway 174 due to a fallen tree across the interstate at mile marker 154. Power outages to nearly 100 percent of parish residents. Widespread flooding was reported across much of the parish. Widespread flooding was observed across many areas of the parish. ||Sabine Parish: Scattered tree damage across most of the parish with more widespread damage across the southeastern corner of the parish and exposed areas to the open waters of Toledo Bend Reservoir in the far southwest part of the parish. Damage included snapped trees, roof damage to an apartment complex, and clusters of uprooted trees. The tree fall throughout the parish ranged from south to south-southeast.

Two to more than three inches of rain was measured at Cane Creek State Park (Lincoln County), Fordyce (Dallas County), Monticello (Drew County), Nashville (Howard County), and Pine Bluff (Jefferson County). Several roads were under water between Avilla (Saline County) and Ferndale (Pulaski County), and also at Monticello (Drew County).||During the predawn hours of the 7th, thunderstorm winds downed a tree on Highway 53 just south of Gurdon (Clark County). This caused a log truck to overturn. In the afternoon, more trees were toppled in Camden and East Camden (both in Ouachita County). A chapel roof was damaged just southwest of Cummins (Lincoln County), and part of a roof was blown off close to Sorrells (Jefferson County).||At least a dozen Tornado Warnings were issued in portions of Calhoun, Clark, Cleveland, Dallas, Garland, Hot Spring, Montgomery, Ouachita, and Pike Counties. A funnel cloud was spotted by law enforcement at Gum Springs (Clark County). There was a brief tornado reported (rated EFU, where U is unknown because there was no damage to evaluate) to the west of Calion (Union County) at 426 pm CDT. The tornado apparently did little more than kick up some dust.||On the 8th, there was a life threatening deluge in southeast Arkansas. Showers and thunderstorms became widespread, and moved over the same areas for several hours.||Too much rain flooded roads at Star City and Varner (both in Lincoln County), Pine Bluff (Jefferson County), Stuttgart (Arkansas County), and also at Dumas and McGehee (both in Desha County). Water got into many homes. Crop and road damage (washouts) was reported in Bradley County. A creek was out of its banks just southeast of Timber Ridge (Pulaski County).||There was high water along Highway 114 between Calmer and Rison (both in Cleveland County), Highway 425 near Yorktown (Lincoln County), Highway 293 east of Garrett Bridge (Lincoln County), Highway 46 not far from Ebb (Grant County), Highway 276 on the south side of Stuttgart (Arkansas County), and Highway 1 at Kelso (Desha County). These highways were eventually closed temporarily.||The situation was the most serious in Desha and Drew Counties, and a Flash Flood Emergency was issued for the communities of Dumas, Pickens, Rohwer (all in Desha County), and Winchester (Drew County) at 1142 am CDT on the 8th.

Some folks indicated (through social media) they had never witnessed flooding of this magnitude.||From an historic perspective, Rohwer (Desha County) received 9.25 inches of rain in the twenty four hour period ending at 700 am CDT on the 8th. This was the most rain in one day at the site, and the fourth largest one day total across the state in June. If that was not enough, 9.97 inches of liquid was measured the next day! Adding the numbers, the whopping 19.22 inches on the 8th/9th was the second biggest two day amount in Arkansas. It was just behind the 21.45 inches at Danville (Yell County) on December 3-4, 1982.||Relentless cloudbursts continued to start the 9th in eastern Arkansas. A rain gauge near DeValls Bluff (Prairie County) completely filled (to six inches) between 400 am and 700 am CST. Buildings were flooded and cars were stalled in Clarendon (Monroe County). It was the same story in Humnoke (Lonoke County), and sandbags were ordered to stop the water.||It was just getting worse in Stuttgart (Arkansas County), with one picture showing more water in a home than ever before (in the life of the photographer/42 years). That claim was likely true because the 7.50 inches of rain that caused the problem easily surpassed the previous one day June record of 4.07 inches on the 29th in 1939. At least fifteen homes were impacted by flooding at Altheimer (Jefferson County). Highway 302 from Highway 17 to Highway 79 was shut down in Monroe County, as was Highway 15 near Sherrill (Jefferson County), Highway 33 east of Tollville (Prairie County), and Highways 85 and 318 near Oneida (Phillips County).||As the weather calmed down in the east by the afternoon of the 9th, temperatures warmed well into the 80s to around 90 degrees across the northern and central counties. Heating and lots of humidity were enough to fuel isolated strong to severe storms toward evening.||Just after 700 pm CDT, a video showed a tornado (rated EFU) that lasted two minutes in a field near Blakemore (Lonoke County). Between 700 pm and 800 pm CDT, there was quarter size hail just east of College Station (Pulaski County). Little Rock (Pulaski County) got a quick 1.10 inches of rain. Trees were blown down at Cave City (Sharp County). At 805 pm CDT, there was a brief weak tornado (rated EF0) a few miles southeast of England (Lonoke County).||The focus shifted back to the southeast early on the 10th. You guessed it...the sky was falling again. Rain plus runoff from the soaking on the 8th/9th in northern and central Desha County inundated farms toward Halley (Desha County) in the south. At 200 pm CDT, an irrigation canal east of Pickens (Desha County) was breached, and adjacent farmland became a lake. The canal was patched by evening. At Florence (Drew County), residents were forced to use boats to get around. Water threatened structures at Dermott and Eudora (both in Chicot County), and sandbagging was in progress. It was clear that assistance was needed, and Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson declared a state of emergency. ||All was quiet quiet in Little Rock (Pulaski County) on the 10th, and the sun was out. For the first time in 2021, the temperature touched 90 degrees (the high was 92 degrees), and it was three weeks late (it normally happens by May 18th). Toward evening, it got loud toward Pinnacle Mountain (Pulaski County). A severe storm pumped out quarter size hail, winds strong enough to push over a few trees, and up to six inches of rain in less than two hours.

These thunderstorms, at times, caused rainfall rates in excess of 4/hr across complex terrain that led to widespread devastating impacts. While it did not rain continuously during this 4-day stretch, the overwhelming amounts of rain and resultant flooding led to 39 deaths and widespread catastrophic damage. Entire homes and parts of some communities were swept away by flood waters, leading to costly damage to infrastructure in the region. Over 600 helicopter rescues and countless swift water rescues by boat were needed to evacuate people who were trapped by the quickly-rising flood waters. In total, 24 Flash Flood Warnings were issued between July 26th and July 30th. Between the evening of July 27th and the mid-morning hours on July 28th (the peak of the event), 13 warnings were issued, 3 of which were upgraded to a Flash Flood Emergency.||Radar-based rainfall estimates suggest that upwards of 14-16 of rain fell during this 5-day period in a narrow swath, with many more locations receiving 6-10 of rain. Most of this rain fell during the night of July 27th into the morning of July 28th, which is when the most devastating impacts were felt. The highest totals occurred across an axis that stretches from northern Clay and southern Owsley counties, east through southern Breathitt and northern Leslie counties, into Perry, Knott and Letcher counties. The highest rainfall total report was from southern Knott County, where 14.00 fell between July 25th and July 29th. This site, a cooperative (COOP) observer at Carr Creek Lake, reported 6.71 from 7am July 28th to 7am July 29th, following a report of 6.50 at that site on the previous day. Another COOP site in Buckhorn reported 8.00 of rain for the 24-hour period ending 7am on July 28th. The rainfall total in Buckhorn from July 25th to July 29th was 11.76. These rainfall values occurring in such a short period of time are incredibly rare: there is less than a 1 in 1000 chance for this much rainfall over five days in a given year.||The incredible rainfall also led to significant rises and flooding on many rivers in eastern Kentucky including on the main stem of the Kentucky River; North, Middle and South forks of the Kentucky River; Red River and Licking River. At Whitesburg, the North Fork of the Kentucky River swelled well above major flood stage, reaching close to 21' before gauge failure (the previous flood of record was 14.7' in 1957). The North Fork of the Kentucky River at Jackson also reached major flood, setting a new record crest of 43.47' (the previous record was 43.1' set in 1939). The river flooding caused a second round of destruction for communities in the region, and caused flooding in downstream areas that did not receive as much rainfall.||*Note* Given the widespread nature and severity of this event - any dollar amount estimated by storm data will not do the event as a whole justice.

Two to more than three inches of rain was measured at Cane Creek State Park (Lincoln County), Fordyce (Dallas County), Monticello (Drew County), Nashville (Howard County), and Pine Bluff (Jefferson County). Several roads were under water between Avilla (Saline County) and Ferndale (Pulaski County), and also at Monticello (Drew County).||During the predawn hours of the 7th, thunderstorm winds downed a tree on Highway 53 just south of Gurdon (Clark County). This caused a log truck to overturn. In the afternoon, more trees were toppled in Camden and East Camden (both in Ouachita County). A chapel roof was damaged just southwest of Cummins (Lincoln County), and part of a roof was blown off close to Sorrells (Jefferson County).||At least a dozen Tornado Warnings were issued in portions of Calhoun, Clark, Cleveland, Dallas, Garland, Hot Spring, Montgomery, Ouachita, and Pike Counties. A funnel cloud was spotted by law enforcement at Gum Springs (Clark County). There was a brief tornado reported (rated EFU, where U is unknown because there was no damage to evaluate) to the west of Calion (Union County) at 426 pm CDT. The tornado apparently did little more than kick up some dust.||On the 8th, there was a life threatening deluge in southeast Arkansas. Showers and thunderstorms became widespread, and moved over the same areas for several hours.||Too much rain flooded roads at Star City and Varner (both in Lincoln County), Pine Bluff (Jefferson County), Stuttgart (Arkansas County), and also at Dumas and McGehee (both in Desha County). Water got into many homes. Crop and road damage (washouts) was reported in Bradley County. A creek was out of its banks just southeast of Timber Ridge (Pulaski County).||There was high water along Highway 114 between Calmer and Rison (both in Cleveland County), Highway 425 near Yorktown (Lincoln County), Highway 293 east of Garrett Bridge (Lincoln County), Highway 46 not far from Ebb (Grant County), Highway 276 on the south side of Stuttgart (Arkansas County), and Highway 1 at Kelso (Desha County). These highways were eventually closed temporarily.||The situation was the most serious in Desha and Drew Counties, and a Flash Flood Emergency was issued for the communities of Dumas, Pickens, Rohwer (all in Desha County), and Winchester (Drew County) at 1142 am CDT on the 8th. Radar estimated 10 to more than 15 inches of rain, and there was water everywhere. Some folks indicated (through social media) they had never witnessed flooding of this magnitude.||From an historic perspective, Rohwer (Desha County) received 9.25 inches of rain in the twenty four hour period ending at 700 am CDT on the 8th. This was the most rain in one day at the site, and the fourth largest one day total across the state in June. If that was not enough, 9.97 inches of liquid was measured the next day! Adding the numbers, the whopping 19.22 inches on the 8th/9th was the second biggest two day amount in Arkansas. It was just behind the 21.45 inches at Danville (Yell County) on December 3-4, 1982.||Relentless cloudbursts continued to start the 9th in eastern Arkansas. A rain gauge near DeValls Bluff (Prairie County) completely filled (to six inches) between 400 am and 700 am CST. Buildings were flooded and cars were stalled in Clarendon (Monroe County). It was the same story in Humnoke (Lonoke County), and sandbags were ordered to stop the water.||It was just getting worse in Stuttgart (Arkansas County), with one picture showing more water in a home than ever before (in the life of the photographer/42 years). That claim was likely true because the 7.50 inches of rain that caused the problem easily surpassed the previous one day June record of 4.07 inches on the 29th in 1939. At least fifteen homes were impacted by flooding at Altheimer (Jefferson County). Highway 302 from Highway 17 to Highway 79 was shut down in Monroe County, as was Highway 15 near Sherrill (Jefferson County), Highway 33 east of Tollville (Prairie County), and Highways 85 and 318 near Oneida (Phillips County).||As the weather calmed down in the east by the afternoon of the 9th, temperatures warmed well into the 80s to around 90 degrees across the northern and central counties. Heating and lots of humidity were enough to fuel isolated strong to severe storms toward evening.||Just after 700 pm CDT, a video showed a tornado (rated EFU) that lasted two minutes in a field near Blakemore (Lonoke County). Between 700 pm and 800 pm CDT, there was quarter size hail just east of College Station (Pulaski County). Little Rock (Pulaski County) got a quick 1.10 inches of rain. Trees were blown down at Cave City (Sharp County). At 805 pm CDT, there was a brief weak tornado (rated EF0) a few miles southeast of England (Lonoke County).||The focus shifted back to the southeast early on the 10th. You guessed it...the sky was falling again. Rain plus runoff from the soaking on the 8th/9th in northern and central Desha County inundated farms toward Halley (Desha County) in the south. At 200 pm CDT, an irrigation canal east of Pickens (Desha County) was breached, and adjacent farmland became a lake. The canal was patched by evening. At Florence (Drew County), residents were forced to use boats to get around. Water threatened structures at Dermott and Eudora (both in Chicot County), and sandbagging was in progress. It was clear that assistance was needed, and Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson declared a state of emergency. ||All was quiet quiet in Little Rock (Pulaski County) on the 10th, and the sun was out. For the first time in 2021, the temperature touched 90 degrees (the high was 92 degrees), and it was three weeks late (it normally happens by May 18th). Toward evening, it got loud toward Pinnacle Mountain (Pulaski County). A severe storm pumped out quarter size hail, winds strong enough to push over a few trees, and up to six inches of rain in less than two hours.

Hurricane Idalia moved inland across the eastern Florida Big Bend and into South Central Georgia during the morning hours. Strong winds caused extensive damage to trees, buildings, and infrastructure along a broad swath stretching west to Tallahassee and east beyond the Suwannee River. Significant and devastating storm surge accompanied the hurricane into the Taylor and Dixie County coasts, where water levels rose considerably, inundating numerous structures along the coast and flooding residences and businesses many miles inland. Significant damage to property and infrastructure was associated with the storm surge that will take a considerable time to rebuild. The peak surge values observed were from Dekle Beach in Taylor County southeastward to Horseshoe Beach in Dixie County. Surge heights in this area along the immediate coast were within the range of 7 to 12 feet above normally dry ground. Lower values of up to 6 feet above normally dry ground were noted south of Horseshoe Beach near the community of Suwannee. It should also be noted the storm made landfall around the time of low tide. Had the storm made landfall 6 hours later, around the time of high tide, peak water level values could have been between 3-4 feet higher. In the process of the high water mark surveys, interviews were conducted with several residents that lived in the area during the Storm of the Century, a non-tropical system that affected this portion of the Florida coastline on March 13, 1993.

The rapid water rises flooded hundreds of homes and businesses, with reports of some people trapped in the attics or on the roofs of their houses. Dozens of roadways were flooded and impassable, including both I-24 and I-40, with many cars submerged in the flood waters and people forced to cling onto trees to avoid getting swept away. Although the flood waters receded quickly on Sunday, March 28, many area rivers reached flood stage in the week after the event, including the Cumberland River, Harpeth River, and Duck River.||A total of 7 deaths were reported from the flooding across Middle Tennessee, with 5 in Davidson County, 1 in Cheatham County, and 1 in Maury County. Emergency management reports indicate over 500 homes and businesses were flooded, and a Presidential Disaster Proclamation was declared for many counties in May 2021.

Moderate flooding also occurred on the Hudson River at Fort Edward, Hadley, and North Creek; the Schroon River at Riverbank; and the Mohawk River at Delta Dam. Although river rises and some impacts occurred prior to midnight, the crests occurred on 1 November, and impacts persisted into the first week of November in some areas (see also November StormData). The flooding was extensive over portions of the area, damaging and destroying numerous roads and structures and resulting in water rescues. Between 150 and 200 people were evacuated in Herkimer County. The number of dwellings damaged by the flooding was 344, of which 135 sustained major damage, and 18 were destroyed. There was one fatality as a result of the flooding as a man was swept away by flood waters when he exited his vehicle. ||As a result of the flooding, a major disaster for the state of New York was requested by Governor Cuomo and approved by the President. The monetary damages for public infrastructure requested for the Mohawk Valley and southern Adirondacks totaled around $17 million ($1.2 million for Fulton County, $3.0 million for Hamilton County, $8.8 million for Herkimer County, $0.5 million for Montgomery, $1.6 million for Saratoga, and $1.9 million for Warren).

The hurricane made landfall with estimated sustained winds of 125 mph, making it a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, the first major hurricane on record to make landfall in this portion of Florida. Hurricane Idalia moved inland across the eastern Florida Big Bend and into South Central Georgia during the morning hours. Strong winds caused extensive damage to trees, buildings, and infrastructure along a broad swath stretching west to Tallahassee and east beyond the Suwannee River. Significant and devastating storm surge accompanied the hurricane into the Taylor and Dixie County coasts, where water levels rose considerably, inundating numerous structures along the coast and flooding residences and businesses many miles inland. Significant damage to property and infrastructure was associated with the storm surge that will take a considerable time to rebuild. The peak surge values observed were from Dekle Beach in Taylor County southeastward to Horseshoe Beach in Dixie County. Surge heights in this area along the immediate coast were within the range of 7 to 12 feet above normally dry ground. Lower values of up to 6 feet above normally dry ground were noted south of Horseshoe Beach near the community of Suwannee. It should also be noted the storm made landfall around the time of low tide. Had the storm made landfall 6 hours later, around the time of high tide, peak water level values could have been between 3-4 feet higher. In the process of the high water mark surveys, interviews were conducted with several residents that lived in the area during the Storm of the Century, a non-tropical system that affected this portion of the Florida coastline on March 13, 1993. All of these residents interviewed from Keaton Beach to Horseshoe Beach indicated water levels that rivaled or exceeded those experienced in the 1993 ���Storm of the Century.��� Moreover, Dixie County Emergency Management noted that the inland extent of the storm surge from Hurricane Idalia moved much further inland from Horseshoe Beach than observed in The Storm of the Century.

With a very moisture-laden atmosphere in place characterized by precipitable water values measured at 2.37 inches on the 12Z OHX upper air balloon sounding, these thunderstorms produced extreme rainfall rates over 3 inches per hour for several hours, resulting in rainfall totals reaching over 10 to 20 inches in a narrow, roughly 25 mile wide by 50 mile long swath across Houston, Dickson, Humphreys, and Hickman Counties. A rain gauge at the McEwen Wastewater Treatment Plant measured a rainfall total of 20.73 inches from midnight to 7pm CDT, which was verified by NWS personnel and set a new Tennessee state record for 24-hour rainfall. In addition to the flash flooding, one brief tornado was determined to have touched down in rural Dickson County northwest of Charlotte.

A secondary area of low pressure developed and moved up the Eastern Seaboard and tracked across interior New England from Sunday, April 30th through Monday, May 1st. Widespread heavy rainfall occurred, and flooding was enhanced for this weather event due to the seasonal timing of the rains with spring soils being high in moisture and vegetation still being dormant. These two factors lead to increased run-off. Rain started across southern and coastal areas early on Sunday April 30th, with the heaviest rainfall Sunday night into early Monday morning. The rainfall on Sunday produced limited flooding, but set the stage for what was to come by swelling rivers and filling ditches ahead of the heavier rain. Heavy rain started around 3 AM and continued through 10 AM Monday with rainfall rates between 1 to 1.5 inches an hour. This caused flooding to rapidly develop, resulting in widespread flash flooding. The rainfall ended by midday on Monday May 1st. Runoff spilled into tributary rivers and major rivers that led to ongoing flooding for the next several days with most rivers cresting late on Monday May 1st or on May 2nd.

These storms were able to become supercells, given the moderately strong instability that had developed during the afternoon, combined with strong deep layer wind shear. The low-level wind shear had become strong near the warm front itself, which supported the development of a few tornadoes. Thunderstorms continued to develop across the area during the overnight hours of the 4th and early morning hours of the 5th, which resulted in locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding.

The abundant moisture associated with the low intersected a frontal zone which was nearly stalled in the area of the Ohio Valley. Strong isentropic and frontogenetically-induced lift led to periods of heavy rain over much of southwestern Pennsylvania over the two-day period, both from thunderstorms ahead of the low and from a period of tropical rainfall during the morning of the 1st. Rain tapered off by the afternoon as the remnants of Ida pulled towards the Mid-Atlantic coast.||The heaviest rainfall over the two-day period was observed in Westmoreland, Allegheny, and Washington Counties, with totals of 3 to 5 inches common. Lesser totals were noted to the north and south of this area, with areas near Interstate 80 mainly receiving a half-inch or less. The heavy rainfall resulted in widespread flooding of roads and streams, with several instances of evacuations noted. Particularly hard hit were the municipalities of Millvale, Bridgeville, and Scott, all of which issued disaster declarations. In Stowe Township, a school bus was trapped in flood waters, requiring the rescue of two adults and seven children. Other rescues of trapped motorists were noted. Twenty-four residents had to be evacuated from an assisted living facility in Oakdale, where water up to 18 inches deep was observed across the town. ||Despite the heavy rain and numerous instances of flash and areal flooding, widespread river flooding was not observed after the rainfall ceased. A dry slot near the Mason-Dixon Line on the morning of the 1st kept rainfall totals lower on the headwaters of the Monongahela River, allowing area reservoirs to mitigate the impact of the tropical rain downstream. Thus, while short-term flooding was significant over a portion of the region, the overall event did not have the same impact as Gordon in 2018 or Frances/Ivan in 2014.

A secondary area of low pressure developed and moved up the Eastern Seaboard and tracked across interior New England from Sunday, April 30th through Monday, May 1st. Widespread heavy rainfall occurred, and flooding was enhanced for this weather event due to the seasonal timing of the rains with spring soils being high in moisture and vegetation still being dormant. These two factors lead to increased run-off. Rain started across southern and coastal areas early on Sunday April 30th, with the heaviest rainfall Sunday night into early Monday morning. The rainfall on Sunday produced limited flooding, but set the stage for what was to come by swelling rivers and filling ditches ahead of the heavier rain. Heavy rain started around 3 AM and continued through 10 AM Monday with rainfall rates between 1 to 1.5 inches an hour. This caused flooding to rapidly develop, resulting in widespread flash flooding. The rainfall ended by midday on Monday May 1st. Runoff spilled into tributary rivers and major rivers that led to ongoing flooding for the next several days with most rivers cresting late on Monday May 1st or on May 2nd.

Large scale forcing increased well ahead of the approaching upper trough across the expanding moist sector from the late morning through the afternoon and evening hours of the 2nd, with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developing across portions of Deep East Texas, North Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas. Increasing instability due to diurnal heating within a strongly sheared and moist air mass resulted in the gradual development of strong to severe thunderstorms across these areas, with locally heavy rain falling over areas where the storms moved repeatedly over the same areas. Rainfall amounts ranged from 1-3 inches across much of North Louisiana, with isolated higher totals of 5-6+ inches observed Eastern Bienville, much of Jackson, Western Ouachita, and Eastern Union Parishes.

With afternoon temperatures climbing into the mid 70s ahead of this trough, moderate instability developed across the broad warm sector, with very strong wind shear in place as large scale forcing increased ahead of the trough axis across Southeast Oklahoma and East-Central Texas. Thus, an axis of showers and thunderstorms, some containing locally heavy rainfall, developed during the evening hours across Southeast Oklahoma, adjacent sections of Southwest Arkansas and Northeast Texas, producing widespread rainfall amounts of two to four inches, with isolated higher amounts up to five inches recorded.

Storms initially developed over the high terrain of northern and eastern Arizona as well as near the Table Top mesa area south of Phoenix. High DCAPE promoted strong thunderstorm downbursts. The downbursts generated outflows that progressed into the greater Phoenix metro area and led to the development of additional scattered thunderstorm. The thunderstorms in the metro area produced damaging winds that led to numerous downed trees, downed power poles, and other property damage. The storms were also nearly stationary, under weak steering flow, and produced very heavy rainfall with rain rates around 1.5-2.0 inches per hour and briefly higher in the strongest storms. This led to considerable flash flooding around Phoenix with several road closure and significant flow in major washes.

The extreme rainfall rates in hilly and mountainous terrain led to rapid run-off on multiple streams in the region. Considerable flash flooding occurred in Andover on the morning of the 26th after 3 and 6 inches of rain fell along the south facing slopes of the Wyman Mountain. Abbott Brook was redirected and severely impacted Wyman Hill Road and personal property along it. At one stretch along Wyman Hill Rd, Abbott Brook was diverted and is running directly down the middle of the road. More than a dozen residents were impacted, leaving people without road access. The main bridge at Wyman Hill Rd and Cross Rd was washed out. There was also one water rescue in Andover as a vehicle got stuck in the flood waters. The runoff caused the Ellis River to climb above flood stage cresting at 17.29 feet.||Additional roads in Andover that sustained washouts were East B Hill Road and South Arm Road.

Deep convergence of moisture along the boundary resulted as the core of the low-level jet and associated moisture transport was directed due north from the Upper Texas coast. Other factors contributing to the heavy rainfall and severe storms included a sharp instability gradient with mean-layer CAPE values from 500-1500 J/kg, maximized precipitable water values from 2.0-2.2 inches and effective bulk shear of 25-30 knots.

Very strong wind shear coexisting with the strong instability resulted in some supercell thunderstorms that produced large hail up to golfball size and multiple tornadoes on the 20th. A squall line developed along the cold front that moved into the area during the morning of the 21st, and that line of storms produced multiple tornadoes along the leading edge. Locally heavy rainfall and subsequent flash flooding occurred across northeastern Oklahoma as multiple rounds of thunderstorms affected generally the same area.

A weather system dropping south out of Nevada began to act on the moisture, resulting in the development of numerous showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms produced copious amounts of rain with peak rain rates in excess of 2 inches per hour. Many locations across the high terrain east of Phoenix measured more than 3 inches of rain during the morning hours. Multiple events of flash flooding occurred in locations such as Apache Junction, Tortilla Flat, Fountain Hills and terrain to the south and east of Lake Roosevelt.

Copious amounts of tropical moisture spread northward and into south-central Arizona during the early morning hours on September 23rd, leading to the development of numerous showers and thunderstorms over higher terrain areas east of Phoenix. Locally heavy rain developed, with peak rain rates in excess of 2 inches per hour. By mid morning, a number of locations had already received more than 3 inches of rain. The heavy rain led to episodes of flash flooding from Tortilla Flat eastward. At 0605MST, the Fish Creek USGS stream gage 5 miles east of Tortilla Flat reported an increase from 5 feet to 9.5 feet. At 0615MST, Arizona Department of Highways reported that State Route 88 was closed indefinitely between Tortilla Flat and State Route 188. The closure was due to flash flooding as well as debris across the road. Additionally, at 0748MST a member of the public reported flash flooding along Lewis and Pranty Creek near State Route 88. This occurred roughly 7 miles east of Tortilla Flat and south of Apache Lake.

Several Flash Flood Warnings were issued for areas to the east of Phoenix during the morning hours. In 2020, the Arizona Department of Transportation was awarded $10.7 million from the Federal Highway Administration to support the repair of roads and bridges damaged due to the numerous flash flooding events that occurred across Arizona on the 23rd. Copious amounts of tropical moisture spread north and into south central Arizona during the early morning hours on September 23rd, resulting in scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. Peak rain rates with the stronger convective cells was in excess of 2 inches per hour; the heavy rain resulted in episodes of flash flooding east of Phoenix, affecting communities such as East Mesa and Apache Junction. According to a trained spotter located about 4 miles southeast of East Mesa, at 0525MST flash flooding caused several streets to flood and an area wash was filled with several feet of water. The flooding was west of Crismon Road and between Broadway and Southern. At 0630MST, local broadcast media reported that flash flooding 1 mile southwest of Apache Junction resulted in the closure of 16th Avenue between Delaware and Ironwood Drive. The flooding occurred when a wash flowed across the road. Finally, at 0700MST local broadcast media reported an episode of flash flooding 3 miles west of Apache Junction. The flash flooding necessitated a water rescue of a stranded vehicle just north of Main Street and near Signal Butte Road. No injuries were reported for any of the flash flooding incidents. A Flash Flood Warning was issued at 0541MST and the warning covered most of the flooding incidents.", "ts_dict_index": [1533, 1534, 1535]} +{"event_id": 982506, "event_type": "Flash Flood", "state": "ARIZONA", "cz_name": "PINAL", "begin_date_time": "2021-08-14 00:36:00", "end_date_time": "2021-08-14 01:50:00", "narrative": "A classic bow echo developed along the Mogollon Rim in central Arizona around 1900MST on the 13th and merged with thunderstorm clusters that developed in south-central Arizona around 2030MST to form one southwestward-moving MCS that progressed all the way to the town of Yuma in far southwest Arizona by 0230MST on the 14th.

Following 2 to 4 inches of rain in 1 to 2 hours over the Sand Tank Wash watershed, catastrophic flooding occurred in the small town of Gila Bend with feet of water, mud, and debris moving through town. Storm surveys were completed by NWS Phoenix, Maricopa County Department of Emergency Management (MCDEM), American Red Cross, and Flood Control District of Maricopa County (FCDMC). FCDMC gages on Sand Tank Wash, Bender Wash, and in the Maricopa Mountains measured rainfall amounts around 3 to 4 inches in 1 to 2 hours for an annual exceedance probability of 0.1%. FCDMC found the most significant floodwaters were within Sand Tank Wash, with lesser flows in Bender and Scott Avenue Washes. The NWS Phoenix survey found evidence of out of bank flooding in Sand Tank Wash 1 to 3 miles south of Interstate-8 (I-8) with 2 to 6 feet of water and sizable debris. The streamflow gage on Sand Tank Wash at I-8 reached alarm stage at 0157MST, bank full at 0341MST, and flood stage at 0352MST. The gage crested at 7.69 feet with 5000 cfs of flow at 0408MST. The floodwaters and debris that moved through town caused flood damage to at least 140 homes and 25 businesses.

During the flooding, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office rescued at least 30 individuals from their roofs along with others pulled from stranded vehicles. Photos after the water receded showed the canal was eroded and breached where Sand Tank Wash flows over it. Photos also showed 2 to 5 foot water lines both on the outside and inside of many of the structures, piles of debris, damaged property and vehicles, and erosion. Of the homes MCDEM assessed, 21 were deemed uninhabitable after the flooding. Unfortunately there were 2 direct fatalities with this event.

The MCS produced widespread strong winds with localized damaging winds from individual microbursts across the region. The strong winds also generated dense blowing dust in southwest Arizona.

The town of Gila Bend suffered catastrophic flash flooding after 2 to 4 inches of rain fell over a large portion of the basin containing Sand Tank and Bender Washes, which flow into Gila Bend. A breach of the canal in town due to erosion added to the flash flooding. Significant flow through the washes impacted numerous homes and businesses and there were 2 fatalities.

Scattered thunderstorms developed during the afternoon on the 29th across the high terrain of Arizona as daytime heating led to increasing upslope flow along terrain features. Abundant moisture in place allowed for thunderstorms to produce locally heavy rainfall, which led to instances of flash flooding across south-central Arizona. Thunderstorms over southern Gila County produced heavy rainfall over multiple burn scars, leading to enhanced runoff and flash flooding. The most significant impacts occurred after thunderstorms over the recent Telegraph fire burn scar produced 2-3 inches of rain, resulting in rapid rises in Bloody Tanks Wash and Russell Gulch. This resulted in catastrophic flash flooding in Miami where numerous homes, businesses, and roads were inundated with flood waters. A rare Flash Flood Emergency was issued for Miami due to the catastrophic flash flooding. No injuries were reported. After 2.5-3.5 inches of rain fell over the northern portion of the Telegraph burn scar, runoff rapidly collected in Bloody Tanks Wash and flowed downstream through the town of Miami causing catastrophic damage. A rain gage in Russell Gulch to the south measured 2.01 inches of rain between 1316MST and 1414MST with a brief period where rain rates were as high as 8-9 inches per hour with 0.87 inches measured in 10 minutes. At 1438MST Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) reported US-60 was closed in both directions at mile post 243 due to water moving over the road.

These thunderstorms, at times, caused rainfall rates in excess of 4/hr across complex terrain that led to widespread devastating impacts. While it did not rain continuously during this 4-day stretch, the overwhelming amounts of rain and resultant flooding led to 39 deaths and widespread catastrophic damage. Entire homes and parts of some communities were swept away by flood waters, leading to costly damage to infrastructure in the region. Over 600 helicopter rescues and countless swift water rescues by boat were needed to evacuate people who were trapped by the quickly-rising flood waters. In total, 24 Flash Flood Warnings were issued between July 26th and July 30th. Between the evening of July 27th and the mid-morning hours on July 28th (the peak of the event), 13 warnings were issued, 3 of which were upgraded to a Flash Flood Emergency.||Radar-based rainfall estimates suggest that upwards of 14-16 of rain fell during this 5-day period in a narrow swath, with many more locations receiving 6-10 of rain. Most of this rain fell during the night of July 27th into the morning of July 28th, which is when the most devastating impacts were felt. The highest totals occurred across an axis that stretches from northern Clay and southern Owsley counties, east through southern Breathitt and northern Leslie counties, into Perry, Knott and Letcher counties. The highest rainfall total report was from southern Knott County, where 14.00 fell between July 25th and July 29th.

Another COOP site in Buckhorn reported 8.00 of rain for the 24-hour period ending 7am on July 28th. The rainfall total in Buckhorn from July 25th to July 29th was 11.76. These rainfall values occurring in such a short period of time are incredibly rare: there is less than a 1 in 1000 chance for this much rainfall over five days in a given year.||The incredible rainfall also led to significant rises and flooding on many rivers in eastern Kentucky including on the main stem of the Kentucky River; North, Middle and South forks of the Kentucky River; Red River and Licking River. At Whitesburg, the North Fork of the Kentucky River swelled well above major flood stage, reaching close to 21' before gauge failure (the previous flood of record was 14.7' in 1957). The North Fork of the Kentucky River at Jackson also reached major flood, setting a new record crest of 43.47' (the previous record was 43.1' set in 1939). The river flooding caused a second round of destruction for communities in the region, and caused flooding in downstream areas that did not receive as much rainfall.||*Note* Given the widespread nature and severity of this event - any dollar amount estimated by storm data will not do the event as a whole justice.

These thunderstorms, at times, caused rainfall rates in excess of 4/hr across complex terrain that led to widespread devastating impacts. While it did not rain continuously during this 4-day stretch, the overwhelming amounts of rain and resultant flooding led to 39 deaths and widespread catastrophic damage. Entire homes and parts of some communities were swept away by flood waters, leading to costly damage to infrastructure in the region. Over 600 helicopter rescues and countless swift water rescues by boat were needed to evacuate people who were trapped by the quickly-rising flood waters. In total, 24 Flash Flood Warnings were issued between July 26th and July 30th. Between the evening of July 27th and the mid-morning hours on July 28th (the peak of the event), 13 warnings were issued, 3 of which were upgraded to a Flash Flood Emergency.||Radar-based rainfall estimates suggest that upwards of 14-16 of rain fell during this 5-day period in a narrow swath, with many more locations receiving 6-10 of rain. Most of this rain fell during the night of July 27th into the morning of July 28th, which is when the most devastating impacts were felt. The highest totals occurred across an axis that stretches from northern Clay and southern Owsley counties, east through southern Breathitt and northern Leslie counties, into Perry, Knott and Letcher counties. The highest rainfall total report was from southern Knott County, where 14.00 fell between July 25th and July 29th. This site, a cooperative (COOP) observer at Carr Creek Lake, reported 6.71 from 7am July 28th to 7am July 29th, following a report of 6.50 at that site on the previous day. Another COOP site in Buckhorn reported 8.00 of rain for the 24-hour period ending 7am on July 28th. The rainfall total in Buckhorn from July 25th to July 29th was 11.76. These rainfall values occurring in such a short period of time are incredibly rare: there is less than a 1 in 1000 chance for this much rainfall over five days in a given year.||The incredible rainfall also led to significant rises and flooding on many rivers in eastern Kentucky including on the main stem of the Kentucky River; North, Middle and South forks of the Kentucky River; Red River and Licking River. At Whitesburg, the North Fork of the Kentucky River swelled well above major flood stage, reaching close to 21' before gauge failure (the previous flood of record was 14.7' in 1957). The North Fork of the Kentucky River at Jackson also reached major flood, setting a new record crest of 43.47' (the previous record was 43.1' set in 1939). The river flooding caused a second round of destruction for communities in the region, and caused flooding in downstream areas that did not receive as much rainfall.||*Note* Given the widespread nature and severity of this event - any dollar amount estimated by storm data will not do the event as a whole justice.

The intense rainfall rates lead to rapid run-off and caused localized urban street flooding with water due to run-off entering some building structures. Lighter showers passed across the area later in the evening before rain ended.||On July 16th a more widespread area of rain impacted most of the state. Rain showers began to develop around daybreak on July 16th and quickly became more widespread during the morning hours. Light to moderate rainfall became widespread across the state with embedded bands of heavy rain. Locally heavy rainfall continued straight through the morning hours into early afternoon on the 16th before rainfall intensity and coverage began to decrease. Central and Southern New Hampshire received the heaviest rainfall through the day, with less rainfall across the Connecticut River Valley and the Seacoast. Rainfall amounts of 2+��� were widespread across Central New Hampshire with two corridors of locally heavier rain in this area. One corridor of heavy rain was from eastern Cheshire County through northwest Hillsborough County and into Central Merrimack County. Observed reports of 3+��� of rain occurred in this region with one localized report of 4+���. The heavy rain caused isolated areas of flooded roads along with wash-outs in Antrim where a localized area of heavy rain occurred. The second corridor of heavy rain across the state was the most significant for the event. This corridor of rain ran from the Massachusetts border around Nashua all the way to the Maine border in southern Carroll County. There were numerous reports of 3+��� of rain with localized areas receiving over 4��� of rainfall by early afternoon. The majority of this rainfall fell in a 3 to 4 hour window in the late morning hours. The heavy rainfall rates and saturated grounds led to rapid run-off of small streams and creeks which led to flash flooding. Flash flooding was considerable in the Barnstead, Alton and Wolfeboro region where numerous roads were closed due to severe flooding and wash-outs. Additional urban flash flooding also occurred in the Manchester area due to flooded roads. Minor property flooding was also reported on numerous lakefronts across the region due to very high lake levels after this rain event. ||Localized river flooding also occurred in response to the July 15-16th rainfall with river flooding beginning on July 16th and lasting through the 18th, with river crests occurring on July 17th. The Warner River touched minor flood stage with no significant impacts. The Suncook River crested at 3.53ft above flood stage on July 17th. This led to flooding of campgrounds along the river that caused the evacuation of at least one located in the floodplain. All rivers dropped below flood stage on July 18th.||In addition to the flooding, the environment supported a conditional threat for severe weather as the abundant low level moisture and strong low level jet caused significant low level shear. This caused for numerous storms to have rotation with them that triggered tornado warnings but no tornadoes were confirmed. There was however some localized tree damage with the associated thunderstorms across Southern New Hampshire. The Saco River came out of banks on July 16th following heavy rain showers. The USGS river gage at Conway exceeded the flood stage of 9 feet, cresting at 8.3 feet on the 16th.

The hurricane spun slowly but steadily into southern Kenedy and northern Hidalgo County through just after midnight on the 26th, then through Starr County as a Tropical Storm before moving into Tamaulipas before daybreak and eventually near Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, by noon before dissipating during the evening of the 26th. Following the passage of the inner eye wall, broad feeder bands of torrential rains and gusty tropical storm force winds continued through the mid to late morning hours of July 26th, slowly migrating from east to west across the populated Rio Grande Valley. ||Other than storm surge flooding, which peaked just north of Baffin Bay on the Kleberg and Nueces County coast near Corpus Christi, Hanna's memory for the Rio Grande Valley will be flooding rainfall, power outages, and an array of damage to poorly constructed buildings, from minor roof damage to complete demolition. Between 8 and 15 inches of rain fell from Port Mansfield to Harlingen, and along Interstate Highway 2 out through Mission and Sullivan City. The combination of high rainfall, locally high rainfall rates, and poor drainage left between 18 inches and four feet of water depth in many areas, most commonly from western Cameron through southeastern Hidalgo County, as well as a separate pocket in the Mission/La Joya/Sullivan City area. The rainfall wiped out 95% of the region's cotton crop; the combination of crop loss and production loss was more than one third of a billion dollars alone ($366 million)...most of which was in the Rio Grande Valley region. ||At the peak of the storm, 250 thousand electric customers were without power, including all of Willacy County. Though storm surge was cut short by strong westerly flow across Cameron County, radiating swells did produce a notable surge of 3 feet or greater (estimated) from near Port Mansfield through Kenedy County. When the damage and economic loss is counted to infrastructure and agriculture combined, it is likely that Hanna cost at least one billion dollars across the Rio Grande Valley and the Deep S. Texas ranch country. High standing water due to a total of 7 to 12 inches of rainfall that fell directly from Hurricane/Tropical Storm Hanna from late on July 25th through early afternoon on July 26th continued to close roads and stand in neighborhoods, fields, and ditches through the end of July in western Cameron County, from the Cameron/Hidalgo and Cameron/Willacy County lines through the west side of Harlingen.

Rain showers continued through the day on December 25 and changed to snow showers during the evening and overnight hours of December 25-26 as colder air returned.||The region still dealt with nearly the entire snowpack from the blockbuster winter storm from December 16-17. While the snow compacted over time, very little water was lost from the snow. Observations concluded that between 1.50 to 3.00 inches of water was in the snowpack prior to this event and most if not all of this snow melted.||Rainfall totals across eastern New York were generally between 1 to 3 inches; however, the eastern Catskills received 4 to 6 inches of rain. These amounts do not include the additional 1.50 to 3.00 inches of water that melted from the snowpack. The combination of warm air, rainfall, and melting snowpack led to areal and river flooding across the region. There were numerous reports of roads being closed due to the flooding. Local emergency managers had to evacuate a few communities due to the rising waters. Some roads across Greene and Ulster counties were washed out and had to be rebuilt. Two area rivers reached or exceeded moderate flood stage, Esopus Creek and Schoharie Creek. The Esopus briefly reached major flood stage at Mount Tremper between 0345EST and 0435EST. The Schoharie reached moderate flood stage at Breakabeen and Burtonsville, and major flood stage at Prattsville (0338EST to 0742EST) and Gilboa Bridge (0450EST to 1034EST). The Schoharie County Department of Public Works and town highway departments identified $332,000 in damage, mostly to roads. Damage estimates were $30,000 in Conesville and $50,000 in Blenheim. A mass of supersaturated snow due to heavy rain slid down a slope at the Belleayre Ski Center and crashed into the lodge, breaking doors and windows and causing water damage inside.||In addition to the rainfall, gusty winds accompanied the event with wind gusts reaching 40 to 60 mph, especially across the mid-Hudson Valley and Taconics. A 68 mph wind gust was recorded at Bannerman Island.

The hurricane spun slowly but steadily into southern Kenedy and northern Hidalgo County through just after midnight on the 26th, then through Starr County as a Tropical Storm before moving into Tamaulipas before daybreak and eventually near Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, by noon before dissipating during the evening of the 26th. Following the passage of the inner eye wall, broad feeder bands of torrential rains and gusty tropical storm force winds continued through the mid to late morning hours of July 26th, slowly migrating from east to west across the populated Rio Grande Valley. ||Other than storm surge flooding, which peaked just north of Baffin Bay on the Kleberg and Nueces County coast near Corpus Christi, Hanna's memory for the Rio Grande Valley will be flooding rainfall, power outages, and an array of damage to poorly constructed buildings, from minor roof damage to complete demolition. Between 8 and 15 inches of rain fell from Port Mansfield to Harlingen, and along Interstate Highway 2 out through Mission and Sullivan City. The combination of high rainfall, locally high rainfall rates, and poor drainage left between 18 inches and four feet of water depth in many areas, most commonly from western Cameron through southeastern Hidalgo County, as well as a separate pocket in the Mission/La Joya/Sullivan City area. The rainfall wiped out 95% of the region's cotton crop; the combination of crop loss and production loss was more than one third of a billion dollars alone ($366 million)...most of which was in the Rio Grande Valley region. ||At the peak of the storm, 250 thousand electric customers were without power, including all of Willacy County. Though storm surge was cut short by strong westerly flow across Cameron County, radiating swells did produce a notable surge of 3 feet or greater (estimated) from near Port Mansfield through Kenedy County. When the damage and economic loss is counted to infrastructure and agriculture combined, it is likely that Hanna cost at least one billion dollars across the Rio Grande Valley and the Deep S. Texas ranch country. Trusted reports from Facebook indicated 1 to 2 feet of standing water in some neighborhood streets in Los Fresnos during a period of outer south to north moving feeder bands well east of the center of Tropical Storm Hanna which was moving into northern Mexico south of Starr County at around the same time. An estimated 3 to 5 inches additional rainfall fell during this period, with measured and estimated storm totals of 6 to 9 inches in southeastern Cameron County. No significant flooding was reported, and any property damage was unknown. ||Some of the cotton crop (lint, or bolls) and perhaps other crop was flattened by the torrential rains in fields between San Benito and Bayview.

Rain showers continued through the day on December 25 and changed to snow showers during the evening and overnight hours of December 25-26 as colder air returned.||The region still dealt with nearly the entire snowpack from the blockbuster winter storm from December 16-17. While the snow compacted over time, very little water was lost from the snow. Observations concluded that between 1.50 to 3.00 inches of water was in the snowpack prior to this event and most if not all of this snow melted.||Rainfall totals across eastern New York were generally between 1 to 3 inches; however, the eastern Catskills received 4 to 6 inches of rain.

The combination of warm air, rainfall, and melting snowpack led to areal and river flooding across the region. There were numerous reports of roads being closed due to the flooding. Local emergency managers had to evacuate a few communities due to the rising waters. Some roads across Greene and Ulster counties were washed out and had to be rebuilt.

From 4 to 15 inches of snow cover remained across the mid Missouri River valley, and the ground was frozen with existing frost depths of 15 to 23 inches. Warm temperatures allowed all of the snow to rapidly melt and record moisture allowed 1 to 2.5 inches of rain to fall over a 48 hour period. Due to the frozen ground, and that 1 to 2 feet of thick ice remained in area rivers, widespread, and in many cases, catastrophic flooding developed. Due to expansive levee breaches on many rivers and streams, the flood damage was particularly devastating to many communities. Four individuals lost their lives due to the extreme conditions, and several hundred people required rescue via air or boat. Tens of thousands of people were evacuated from their homes or businesses. Nearly 50 levees were breached on the Platte, Elkhorn and Missouri Rivers due to the large volume of water. One such levee breach along the Platte River near Leshara, Nebraska forced the evacuation of National Weather Service Omaha, located in Valley, Nebraska for 8 days. Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts presented US$1.3 billion preliminary damage estimates for the entire state, including specific sector losses of: $439 million infrastructure (including roads and bridges), $85 million private homes and businesses, $400 million livestock and $440 million crop. About 2,000 miles of state roads including 15 Nebraska state highway bridges and numerous local bridges, roughly 20 percent of the entire state road system were impacted. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds provided a $1.6 billion preliminary damage estimate due to flooding across the state. U.S. Interstate 29, extending north-south along the Missouri River, was inundated and partially destroyed, as was the Interstate 680 bypass around Council Bluffs-Omaha metropolitan area.

This time, the impacted area was smaller and less populated but the results the same.

These included:||Over a foot of rain fell in about six hours, including a peak total of more than 15 inches near Santa Rosa (Cameron/Hidalgo line); hundreds of streets flooded, including 30 Texas-managed highways; 1,188 homes were considered destroyed or incurring major damage requiring significant repairs, with an additional 182 homes sustaining minor damage or mildly affected (as of July 10). Individual Assistance (IA) costs were estimated at $27.6 million. Public Assistance (PA) costs were likely over $5 million, but totals were not available as of this writing.

Hundreds of roads remained closed or impassible, and hundreds to more than a thousand homes continued to have some water in them for several (mainly fair weather days) following the causative event. Water did not recede completely in some neighborhoods until up to 2 weeks following the rains, much due to the interconnected drainage system which was unable to handle the rainfall rate, which was a 1 in 500 probability event occurring in locations only built to sustain 1 in 5 or 1 in 10 probability events. ||Please note: Damage listed here is shown as *zero*.

The flooding resulted in numerous roads being closed and several evacuations took place including the entire town of Planada in Merced County which was inundated with flood waters. In addition, Bear Creek overflowed it's banks and reached a new record peak flood of 26.2 feet at McKee Bridge east of Merced on January 10. Above the snow line, there were several reports of 2 to 4 feet of new snowfall above 7500 feet in the Sierra Nevada. This system also produced strong downslope winds on January 9 with several stations in the Tehachapi Mountains, West Side Hills and Sierra foothills measuring gusts exceeding 60 mph and resulting in several power outages across the area as power lines were blown down by the strong winds. Thunderstorms broke out across the much of the area on January 10 as colder air aloft moved over the area resulting in numerous issuances of Significant Weather Advisories along with a few warnings. The storm moved to the east of the area on January 11 with precipitation ending and winds diminishing. However, flooding continued across much of the area due to residual runoff from the heavy precipitation that fell over the previous two days.

The Androscoggin River only reached minor flood stage at the upstream river gage in Gorham, yet the contribution of flows from the mountains in between the two towns were sufficient to cause the river to reach major flood levels.

The Mill Brook ran high and contributed to the flooding in Bethel, but was not the significant contributor when compared to the other sources. The combined flows caused severe damage to properties and roads in the community, isolating the area for days. The flooding was recorded as the 3rd highest in downstream Rumford, and estimated to be the 4th highest in Bethel since 1860. The floodwaters reached levels near, above, and just below high-water marks from the flood of 1987, though that flood had un-natural responses due to complications from river ice. Though streamflows were likely less than that of 1987, the reported damage was worse. The hardest hit part of the community was in town near the Kowloon Village and Bethel Wastewater Treatment facility, and north of the river along Interval Road and Route 2 & 5.

Even as the center of the storm remained near Chesapeake Bay on the morning of the 18th, a strong low level jet had developed and winds began to gust in excess of 50 mph well inland from the coast. Damaging wind gusts continued into the afternoon. Thousands of customers lost power due to falling limbs and downed wires. The anomalously warm air mass also led to intense rainfall rates beginning on the evening of the 17th, which continued into the 18th. Upsloping winds also enhanced precipitation along the southeast facing slopes of the White Mountains. Widespread 3 to 4 inches of rain fell, with isolated pockets of 6 to 8 inches. This fell on top of snow that was ripe from previous rainfall about a week earlier. An additional 2 to 3 inches of snow water equivalent was likely added to rainfall runoff. Numerous road washouts and road closures occurred due to flash flooding and fast responding small stream and tributaries. Localized moderate to major flooding occurred along mainstem rivers with the majority of New Hampshire Rivers outside of the mountains only reaching minor flood stage. Significant flooding occurred from Woodstock to Plymouth after a storm brought 3 to 6 inches of combined rain and snow melt to the region. The heaviest rainfall and most significant snowmelt water contribution occurred across the higher terrain of the watershed, where up to 10 inches of combined rainfall and snowmelt was released into the Pemigewasset basin. This caused the river to rise to its third highest crest at Woodstock, and 10th highest on record at Plymouth. This was also the highest crest on the Pemigewasset since Tropical Storm Irene in 2011. Estimates near the start of the watershed put the flow in the 1.0 to 0.5% chance of exceedance levels, also referred to as a 100-200 year flood event. It was less significant downstream however, with estimated flows at Woodstock being more consistent with a 25-50 year, and flows at Plymouth being more consistent with a 25 year event. The decreasing recurrence interval timeframe with downstream progress on the river highlights the significant role the higher rainfall amounts and snowmelt factored in near the top of the watershed, while relatively less input with decreasing elevation resulted in a tapering in the relative significance of the event. Damage was widespread along the Pemigewasset between Woodstock to Ashland. In the town of Holderness, up to two feet of water entered homes and local businesses on Avery Street, South River St, and North River St. Individuals that declined to evacuate were stuck in their homes as floodwaters entered during the early morning hours on the 19th. Water levels rose to the edge of the Plymouth State University Ice Arena doors. Numerous road closures were reported along Route 3, with up to five feet of water covering the roadways in Plymouth and Campton. Water up to two feet deep covered Route 3 in Thornton, and flooded numerous trailers and campers at local riverside campgrounds.

Upsloping winds also enhanced precipitation along the southeast facing slopes of the White Mountains. Widespread 3 to 4 inches of rain fell, with isolated pockets of 6 to 8 inches. This fell on top of snow that was ripe from previous rainfall about a week earlier. An additional 2 to 3 inches of snow water equivalent was likely added to rainfall runoff. Numerous road washouts and road closures occurred due to flash flooding and fast responding small stream and tributaries. Localized moderate to major flooding occurred along mainstem rivers with the majority of New Hampshire Rivers outside of the mountains only reaching minor flood stage. Severe flooding occurred in Bartlett and upstream in Hart's Location, New Hampshire on December 18th. The flooding was the result of heavy rain and rapid snowmelt along the steep slopes of the south facing mountains around Bartlett. The combined runoff from rainfall and snowmelt is estimated to be around 10 inches. The steep terrain and frozen ground resulted in very rapid runoff with flash flooding occurring along every small stream and brook in the region. The USGS river gage at Bartlett went from 3 feet at 9 PM on the 17th, to 13.8 feet by noon on the 18th. The discharge was measured over 25 kcfs, which has an annual chance exceedance of 1% to 0.2%, otherwise referred to as a 100 to 500 year flood. The river stage reached was the 3rd highest on record, and a foot below that reached during Irene in 2011. The hardest hit areas were the confluence of the Saco River, the Rocky Branch and at the confluence of the Ellis River. Route 302, a main thruway to the region closed from Glen to Jericho due to severe flooding. West Side Road was flooded along with numerous homes and camps. In Bartlett, the flood waters flooding River Street up to Route 302. Additionally, several local road closures and washouts were reported along the Saco and other small streams and brooks. There was significant damage to a campground in Bartlett and another in Glen Ellis.", "ts_dict_index": [3477, 3478, 3479]} +{"event_id": 1076001, "event_type": "Flood", "state": "CALIFORNIA", "cz_name": "TULARE", "begin_date_time": "2023-03-10 05:49:00", "end_date_time": "2023-03-10 08:49:00", "narrative": "A large upper trough off the Pacific Northwest coast pulled up a deep moisture fetch from the Pacific Ocean which spread inland into central California on March 9 and 10.

Dam releases being conducted in these watersheds to deal with the abnormal runoff led to continued downstream impacts along the Salt and Gila Rivers, which initially began in March. Continued releases from Granite Reef Dam allowed for elevated flows to persist in the normally dry Salt River with multiple unbridged river crossings remaining closed due to flooding. The heightened flows in the Salt River led to the fatalities of two men who were caught in an undercurrent while paddle boarding down the river. Releases from Granite Reef Dam were significantly reduced by the end of April as runoff into the watersheds decreased. Flow in the Salt and Gila Rivers continued to travel downstream to Painted Rock Dam. Releases from this dam led to elevated flows traveling down the Gila River into Yuma County, leading to numerous additional closures of unbridged river crossings. Elevated flows in the Salt and Gila Rivers allowed for impacts to persist into the month of May.

This runoff combined with rainfall of 2 to 4 inches in the Sierra foothills and 1 to 2.5 inches in the San Joaquin Valley to produce widespread flooding across the area with at least 150 separate incidents of flooding being reported to the Hanford NWS office. The flooding resulted in numerous roads being closed and several evacuations took place including the entire town of Planada in Merced County which was inundated with flood waters. In addition, Bear Creek overflowed it's banks and reached a new record peak flood of 26.2 feet at McKee Bridge east of Merced on January 10. Above the snow line, there were several reports of 2 to 4 feet of new snowfall above 7500 feet in the Sierra Nevada. This system also produced strong downslope winds on January 9 with several stations in the Tehachapi Mountains, West Side Hills and Sierra foothills measuring gusts exceeding 60 mph and resulting in several power outages across the area as power lines were blown down by the strong winds. Thunderstorms broke out across the much of the area on January 10 as colder air aloft moved over the area resulting in numerous issuances of Significant Weather Advisories along with a few warnings. The storm moved to the east of the area on January 11 with precipitation ending and winds diminishing. However, flooding continued across much of the area due to residual runoff from the heavy precipitation that fell over the previous two days.

This is the furthest north EF-4 tornado in the CONUS this early in the year on record, the first EF-4 tornado in Iowa since October 4, 2013 which occurred in Woodbury and Cherokee Counties, and is the second longest tornado in Iowa since 1980, behind the longest occurring on June 7, 1984 at a length of 117 miles across southern Iowa. As the storm skimmed the southern Des Moines metro, cells across south central became tornadic, producing several destructive tornadoes including an EF-3 tornado in Chariton, Iowa. This heartbreaking day resulted in seven fatalities, six in Winterset and one in Chariton, making it the deadliest tornado outbreak in Iowa since 2008. At 15 tornadoes, this is also one of the earliest outbreaks of this magnitude to occur so early in the season.

The primary/longest corridor of severe weather primarily impacted the the following local counties: southern/western Sherman, northern/eastern Buffalo, southern/western Hall, northern/eastern Adams (including Hastings), southern/western Clay and much of Nuckolls/Thayer. The other notable (but shorter-in-length) swath of storm damage wrought havoc across parts of eastern Hamilton, southern/western York and northern Fillmore counties. Within each of these corridors, there were numerous reports of severe winds and/or large hail (some at least 2-3 inch diameter), causing countless instances of damage such as: broken windows in homes and vehicles, significant damage to siding/roofs, innumerable flipped irrigation pivots, and the destruction of many thousands of acres of young crops. In addition to the considerable hail/damaging winds that impacted several counties, one QLCS tornado was also confirmed in Nuckolls/Thayer counties (rated EF-0). This event marked the fourth-consecutive day of severe storms within the 24-county area, and was the overall most significant round of all. Duration-wise, this event was actually fairly quick-hitting, with all South Central Nebraska severe storms unfolding during a 3.5 hour span between 7:00-10:30 p.m. CDT...starting off in northern counties and eventually exiting far south-southeast counties. ||Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the QLCS EF-0 tornado, it was determined to have tracked for nearly 10 miles through southeastern Nuckolls/southwestern Thayer counties shortly before 10 p.m. CDT, causing tree damage in Ruskin and then destroying/damaging several grain bins, irrigation pivots and a few outbuildings before lifting north of Byron. However, by far the biggest impacts of the evening resulted from large hail/damaging winds. Within the aforementioned longer corridor of damage extending along a line from Sherman through Nuckolls/Thayer counties, a sampling of some of the more noteworthy reports included: 2.5-3.5 diameter hail and 70 MPH winds in the Litchfield and Hazard areas (considerable window/siding damage); hail stones 2-4 diameter through the Ravenna/Pleasanton areas (considerable window/siding damage including shattered windows on a few fire trucks); combo of hail 1.75-2.50 diameter and measured 66 MPH winds in Hastings (considerable window/siding damage especially on north/west sides of the city); widespread 60-70 MPH winds through southern/western Clay County with over a dozen toppled irrigation pivots; wood frame outbuilding destroyed and a semi truck overturned near Hebron. Within the shorter swath of concentrated damage that tore through Hamilton/York/Fillmore counties, various reports included: a semi truck blown over on Interstate 80 and areas of complete crop destruction and many overturned irrigation pivots due to a combo of 60-70 MPH winds and hail up to 2 diameter (particularly in the Hampton, Henderson and McCool Junction areas). While these two main swaths accounted for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska storm reports during the evening, there were also a few more isolated pockets of severe weather well-removed from both of them. These included a mesonet-measured 64 MPH wind gust near Lexington and also a handful of reports associated with a supercell that barely skirted the northeast fringes of the local area (including golf ball size hail near Genoa and a measured 65 MPH gust near Shelby (with pivots reported overturned). ||Examining event evolution/timing, the first scattered storms of the evening (initially non-severe) formed between 6-7 p.m. CDT along a west-east oriented band across far northern local counties. Then, the action really ramped up/intensified during the next hour as: 1) a long-lived supercell that developed several hours prior in the northern NE Panhandle entered the local area into Sherman County (the beginning stages of the primary swath of severe weather)...2) a new intense supercell flared up over central/eastern Hamilton County (along the southern fringes of the initial weak northern activity)...3) another comparably shorter-lived supercell developed out of the eastern fringes of the northern storms and clipped the northeast fringes of the local area in Nance/Merrick/Polk counties. Between 8-10 p.m. CDT, the two primary South Central Nebraska supercells continued east-southeast, with the eastern one exiting the local area out of York/Fillmore counties, while the western one gradually merged with a developing convective line that extended off to its west-southwest. Shortly after this powerful storm tore through eastern Adams/western Clay counties, a gradual storm mode transition from semi-discrete supercell to small-scale severe QLCS was complete, leading to a reduced large hail threat but a continued threat of damaging winds (along with the aforementioned tornado). Finally, between 10-11 p.m. CDT the main QLCS segment over Thayer County, along with weaker linear storms trailing westward along the Nebraska-Kansas border, completely exited South Central Nebraska to the south-southeast, ending a very active 3-4 hours. Wrapping up with a closer look at the meteorological setup, this event was the grand finale to a multiple-day stretch of at least spotty severe storms within South Central Nebraska. But compared to prior days, forcing was stronger both aloft and at the surface, leading to an overall-more impactful event. In the mid-upper levels, west-northwest flow prevailed, featuring a fairly potent (albeit low amplitude) shortwave trough zipping eastward across northern NE/southern SD during the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the day began with an initially weakly-defined, west-east oriented front draped across southern portions of the local area. But during the evening, this boundary sharpened up and made a more pronounced southward surge into Kansas in response to a combination of pressure rises driven by the aforementioned upper wave and also convective outflow. Although quite a bit of daytime cloud cover helped hold afternoon temperatures across most of South Central Nebraska down in the mid-upper 70s (F) and low level moisture levels were only only seasonably-modest (dewpoints low-mid 60s F), an impressive combination of strong deep layer wind shear of at least 50-60 knots and mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg clearly supported higher-end severe weather. From a forecast/messaging perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's second Day 2 Outlook (issued on the 6th) upgraded most of South Central Nebraska to an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5), with this Enhanced category then maintained throughout the subsequent Day 1 cycle.

The primary/longest corridor of severe weather primarily impacted the the following local counties: southern/western Sherman, northern/eastern Buffalo, southern/western Hall, northern/eastern Adams (including Hastings), southern/western Clay and much of Nuckolls/Thayer. The other notable (but shorter-in-length) swath of storm damage wrought havoc across parts of eastern Hamilton, southern/western York and northern Fillmore counties. Within each of these corridors, there were numerous reports of severe winds and/or large hail (some at least 2-3 inch diameter), causing countless instances of damage such as: broken windows in homes and vehicles, significant damage to siding/roofs, innumerable flipped irrigation pivots, and the destruction of many thousands of acres of young crops. In addition to the considerable hail/damaging winds that impacted several counties, one QLCS tornado was also confirmed in Nuckolls/Thayer counties (rated EF-0). This event marked the fourth-consecutive day of severe storms within the 24-county area, and was the overall most significant round of all. Duration-wise, this event was actually fairly quick-hitting, with all South Central Nebraska severe storms unfolding during a 3.5 hour span between 7:00-10:30 p.m. CDT...starting off in northern counties and eventually exiting far south-southeast counties. ||Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the QLCS EF-0 tornado, it was determined to have tracked for nearly 10 miles through southeastern Nuckolls/southwestern Thayer counties shortly before 10 p.m. CDT, causing tree damage in Ruskin and then destroying/damaging several grain bins, irrigation pivots and a few outbuildings before lifting north of Byron. However, by far the biggest impacts of the evening resulted from large hail/damaging winds. Within the aforementioned longer corridor of damage extending along a line from Sherman through Nuckolls/Thayer counties, a sampling of some of the more noteworthy reports included: 2.5-3.5 diameter hail and 70 MPH winds in the Litchfield and Hazard areas (considerable window/siding damage); hail stones 2-4 diameter through the Ravenna/Pleasanton areas (considerable window/siding damage including shattered windows on a few fire trucks); combo of hail 1.75-2.50 diameter and measured 66 MPH winds in Hastings (considerable window/siding damage especially on north/west sides of the city); widespread 60-70 MPH winds through southern/western Clay County with over a dozen toppled irrigation pivots; wood frame outbuilding destroyed and a semi truck overturned near Hebron. Within the shorter swath of concentrated damage that tore through Hamilton/York/Fillmore counties, various reports included: a semi truck blown over on Interstate 80 and areas of complete crop destruction and many overturned irrigation pivots due to a combo of 60-70 MPH winds and hail up to 2 diameter (particularly in the Hampton, Henderson and McCool Junction areas). While these two main swaths accounted for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska storm reports during the evening, there were also a few more isolated pockets of severe weather well-removed from both of them. These included a mesonet-measured 64 MPH wind gust near Lexington and also a handful of reports associated with a supercell that barely skirted the northeast fringes of the local area (including golf ball size hail near Genoa and a measured 65 MPH gust near Shelby (with pivots reported overturned). ||Examining event evolution/timing, the first scattered storms of the evening (initially non-severe) formed between 6-7 p.m. CDT along a west-east oriented band across far northern local counties. Then, the action really ramped up/intensified during the next hour as: 1) a long-lived supercell that developed several hours prior in the northern NE Panhandle entered the local area into Sherman County (the beginning stages of the primary swath of severe weather)...2) a new intense supercell flared up over central/eastern Hamilton County (along the southern fringes of the initial weak northern activity)...3) another comparably shorter-lived supercell developed out of the eastern fringes of the northern storms and clipped the northeast fringes of the local area in Nance/Merrick/Polk counties. Between 8-10 p.m. CDT, the two primary South Central Nebraska supercells continued east-southeast, with the eastern one exiting the local area out of York/Fillmore counties, while the western one gradually merged with a developing convective line that extended off to its west-southwest. Shortly after this powerful storm tore through eastern Adams/western Clay counties, a gradual storm mode transition from semi-discrete supercell to small-scale severe QLCS was complete, leading to a reduced large hail threat but a continued threat of damaging winds (along with the aforementioned tornado). Finally, between 10-11 p.m. CDT the main QLCS segment over Thayer County, along with weaker linear storms trailing westward along the Nebraska-Kansas border, completely exited South Central Nebraska to the south-southeast, ending a very active 3-4 hours. Wrapping up with a closer look at the meteorological setup, this event was the grand finale to a multiple-day stretch of at least spotty severe storms within South Central Nebraska. But compared to prior days, forcing was stronger both aloft and at the surface, leading to an overall-more impactful event. In the mid-upper levels, west-northwest flow prevailed, featuring a fairly potent (albeit low amplitude) shortwave trough zipping eastward across northern NE/southern SD during the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the day began with an initially weakly-defined, west-east oriented front draped across southern portions of the local area. But during the evening, this boundary sharpened up and made a more pronounced southward surge into Kansas in response to a combination of pressure rises driven by the aforementioned upper wave and also convective outflow. Although quite a bit of daytime cloud cover helped hold afternoon temperatures across most of South Central Nebraska down in the mid-upper 70s (F) and low level moisture levels were only only seasonably-modest (dewpoints low-mid 60s F), an impressive combination of strong deep layer wind shear of at least 50-60 knots and mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg clearly supported higher-end severe weather. From a forecast/messaging perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's second Day 2 Outlook (issued on the 6th) upgraded most of South Central Nebraska to an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5), with this Enhanced category then maintained throughout the subsequent Day 1 cycle.

However, the biggest story was repeated waves of heavy rain from the 26th that resulted in extensive flooding, and more heavy rain was to come. During the evening, several thunderstorms developed over north central Kansas. All but one of these storms moved northeast into south central Nebraska and affected areas mainly along and east of Highway 281 between 830 and 1130 PM CST. These storms generally remained sub-severe, but a brief EF-0 tornado occurred in Superior at 945 PM CST. The storms had congealed and become quasi-linear, but the low-level and deep-layer shear and SRH were very high, resulting in a shear-dominant line with the most intense cores at the back edge of the line. Along the updraft-downdraft convergence zone, a very small, brief mesovortex formed and produced the tornado. This occurred within a developing bookend vortex, just north of the rear-inflow notch. The one storm that moved different from all the others was a left-moving supercell that originated from a cell split over Rooks county Kansas. That storm moved due north from Alma to Kearney to Loup City from 8 to 945 PM CST, producing quarter size hail in Wilcox and 1 to 2 inch hail in Kearney. Meanwhile, scattered thunderstorms were on-going over southwest Nebraska. These storms entered western Dawson county around 10 PM CST, and during the following two hours these storms organized into a squall line that extended from Ord to Loup City to Lexington to near McCook by 12 AM CST. These storms produced golf ball size hail in and east of Gothenburg, and measured winds of 58 MPH at Cozad. Quarter size hail also occurred in Miller and Ravenna. This line broken into two separate lines, one of which moved east between Interstate 80 and Highway 6, and the other north of the Interstate. The storms remained sub-severe, but a wind gust of 55 MPH was measured at the Hastings airport, and nickel size hail occurred in York. A third cluster of scattered storms developed over southwest Nebraska around midnight. These storms consolidated into a multicell cluster and moved from west to east across the region from 2 to 530 AM CST Tuesday the 28th. These storms were not severe, but they added to the rainfall totals. Total rainfall amounts from all three thunderstorm episodes were not excessive, but given that 2 to 4 inches fell across a large portion of south central Nebraska just 24 hours before, an additional 1 to 2 inches was not needed. ||Water levels were already rising on area creeks and rivers from the heavy rain Sunday night. Flooding began to occur as an increasing number of creeks and rivers overflowed their banks through the day. Minor flooding began around sunrise Monday on the upper portions of the Little Blue River from southeastern Adams county into northern Nuckolls county. The Republican River at Riverton had also risen above flood stage. Thompson Creek, which also passes through Riverton, rapidly increased to moderate flood stage. Whatever impacts might have occurred were not known. In Polk county, extensive flooding resulted in numerous road closures. Bridges on gravel roads had water flowing over them. Highway 81 between Osceola and Shelby was closed because it was impassable. The emergency manager stated that the flooding was worse than what occurred in March of this year. Throughout the day, extensive flooding developed over more and more low-lying areas, creeks, and rivers in south central Nebraska. Numerous mostly gravel roads were impassable. All of the counties along and south of the Platte River were affected, although the Platte River itself did not flood. As flooding worsened along the Little Blue River, the Crystal Lake State Recreation Area near Ayr had to be evacuated and closed. Highway 5 north of Deshler was closed due to the Little Blue River. U.S. Highway 6 near Sutton was closed due to floodwater covering the road. The Republican River also went into flood from Guide Rock to Hardy. Across Hamilton, York, and Polk counties, the West Fork of the Big Blue River, the Big Blue River, Lincoln Creek, and Beaver Creek all flooded. In Merrick county, extensive flooding occurred due to Prairie and Silver Creeks. In Dawson and Buffalo counties, Buffalo and Spring Creeks flooded, as well as Mud Creek near Ravenna. Prairie Dog Creek also flooded southwest of Harlan County Lake. This was the second significant flood to occur since the record and near-record flooding in March 2019.||A quasi-stationary front extended from the Mid-Atlantic across the Midwest to low pressure over Iowa. The front then extended southwest across Nebraska and Kansas to another low over Colorado. In the upper-levels, a longwave trough was over the western U.S., with a fairly flat ridge over the east. An upper low moved from Nevada into Utah through the day with southwest flow over the Central Plains. Just before the storms moved into south central Nebraska, temperatures were in the 70s, with dewpoints in the 60s. Despite low mid-level lapse rates, MUCAPE was between 2000 and 3000 J/kg. Deep layer shear was very strong (60-70 kt), with 0-3 km SRH 250-500 m2/s2, with the highest values on the cool side of the front, where low-level winds were most-backed. The persistence of the atmosphere to initiate multiple thunderstorm episodes was impressive, but even more impressive was that they each moved downstream over the same area, between the surface and 850 mb fronts. The initial storms clearly did not exhaust the instability. Through the night, the low over Colorado moved into western Kansas.

However, the biggest story was repeated waves of heavy rain from the 26th that resulted in extensive flooding, and more heavy rain was to come. During the evening, several thunderstorms developed over north central Kansas. All but one of these storms moved northeast into south central Nebraska and affected areas mainly along and east of Highway 281 between 830 and 1130 PM CST. These storms generally remained sub-severe, but a brief EF-0 tornado occurred in Superior at 945 PM CST. The storms had congealed and become quasi-linear, but the low-level and deep-layer shear and SRH were very high, resulting in a shear-dominant line with the most intense cores at the back edge of the line. Along the updraft-downdraft convergence zone, a very small, brief mesovortex formed and produced the tornado. This occurred within a developing bookend vortex, just north of the rear-inflow notch. The one storm that moved different from all the others was a left-moving supercell that originated from a cell split over Rooks county Kansas. That storm moved due north from Alma to Kearney to Loup City from 8 to 945 PM CST, producing quarter size hail in Wilcox and 1 to 2 inch hail in Kearney. Meanwhile, scattered thunderstorms were on-going over southwest Nebraska. These storms entered western Dawson county around 10 PM CST, and during the following two hours these storms organized into a squall line that extended from Ord to Loup City to Lexington to near McCook by 12 AM CST. These storms produced golf ball size hail in and east of Gothenburg, and measured winds of 58 MPH at Cozad. Quarter size hail also occurred in Miller and Ravenna. This line broken into two separate lines, one of which moved east between Interstate 80 and Highway 6, and the other north of the Interstate. The storms remained sub-severe, but a wind gust of 55 MPH was measured at the Hastings airport, and nickel size hail occurred in York. A third cluster of scattered storms developed over southwest Nebraska around midnight. These storms consolidated into a multicell cluster and moved from west to east across the region from 2 to 530 AM CST Tuesday the 28th. These storms were not severe, but they added to the rainfall totals. Total rainfall amounts from all three thunderstorm episodes were not excessive, but given that 2 to 4 inches fell across a large portion of south central Nebraska just 24 hours before, an additional 1 to 2 inches was not needed. ||Water levels were already rising on area creeks and rivers from the heavy rain Sunday night. Flooding began to occur as an increasing number of creeks and rivers overflowed their banks through the day. Minor flooding began around sunrise Monday on the upper portions of the Little Blue River from southeastern Adams county into northern Nuckolls county. The Republican River at Riverton had also risen above flood stage. Thompson Creek, which also passes through Riverton, rapidly increased to moderate flood stage. Whatever impacts might have occurred were not known. In Polk county, extensive flooding resulted in numerous road closures. Bridges on gravel roads had water flowing over them. Highway 81 between Osceola and Shelby was closed because it was impassable. The emergency manager stated that the flooding was worse than what occurred in March of this year. Throughout the day, extensive flooding developed over more and more low-lying areas, creeks, and rivers in south central Nebraska. Numerous mostly gravel roads were impassable. All of the counties along and south of the Platte River were affected, although the Platte River itself did not flood. As flooding worsened along the Little Blue River, the Crystal Lake State Recreation Area near Ayr had to be evacuated and closed. Highway 5 north of Deshler was closed due to the Little Blue River. U.S. Highway 6 near Sutton was closed due to floodwater covering the road. The Republican River also went into flood from Guide Rock to Hardy. Across Hamilton, York, and Polk counties, the West Fork of the Big Blue River, the Big Blue River, Lincoln Creek, and Beaver Creek all flooded. In Merrick county, extensive flooding occurred due to Prairie and Silver Creeks. In Dawson and Buffalo counties, Buffalo and Spring Creeks flooded, as well as Mud Creek near Ravenna. Prairie Dog Creek also flooded southwest of Harlan County Lake. This was the second significant flood to occur since the record and near-record flooding in March 2019.||A quasi-stationary front extended from the Mid-Atlantic across the Midwest to low pressure over Iowa. The front then extended southwest across Nebraska and Kansas to another low over Colorado. In the upper-levels, a longwave trough was over the western U.S., with a fairly flat ridge over the east. An upper low moved from Nevada into Utah through the day with southwest flow over the Central Plains. Just before the storms moved into south central Nebraska, temperatures were in the 70s, with dewpoints in the 60s. Despite low mid-level lapse rates, MUCAPE was between 2000 and 3000 J/kg. Deep layer shear was very strong (60-70 kt), with 0-3 km SRH 250-500 m2/s2, with the highest values on the cool side of the front, where low-level winds were most-backed. The persistence of the atmosphere to initiate multiple thunderstorm episodes was impressive, but even more impressive was that they each moved downstream over the same area, between the surface and 850 mb fronts. The initial storms clearly did not exhaust the instability. Through the night, the low over Colorado moved into western Kansas. This maintained the low-level jet, which terminated at the 850 mb front. The low-level jet did not move. The 850 mb front remained stalled near the Kansas-Nebraska border, along with the terminus of maximum 850 mb moisture transport and the 850 mb theta-e ridge.

The most significant severe weather event of May 2022 occurred on a Thursday in which multiple rounds of thunderstorms wreaked havoc on essentially all of south central Nebraska at some point. The most intense severe weather, by far, was the first round. This activity actually developed over portions of west/southwest Kansas during the morning hours and moved northeast. Rapid intensification took place between 1PM and 2PM CDT as thunderstorms organized into a long line, and the first Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were issued for areas from Phillipsburg, KS to Lexington, NE. Initial storm reports ranged from quarter to ping pong ball size hail with the southern portion of the line, to widespread damaging wind gusts with the northern portion of the line across a large portion of Dawson County. Wind damage consisted of overturned pivots, uprooted trees, broken power poles, fence and roof damage, large tree limbs downed. Wind damage was widespread over central and western Dawson County where measured wind gusts of 60-70 MPH were common. Even an 82 MPH gust, which is considered ���significant severe���, was measured by a mesonet near Eddyville. Surface temperatures near 90 degrees and mixed layer CAPE values in excess of 3000 J/kg ahead of the line of thunderstorms, amidst 35kt to 50kt of southwesterly deep layer shear, allowed for continued intensification through the mid to late afternoon as the line raced northeast. Additional significant damaging wind impacts were felt across Sherman, Valley, and Greeley Counties. Valley County was another area especially hard hit. Here, several wind gusts in the 80-90 MPH range were reported, and damage was significant. Numerous trees were uprooted, pivots overturned, and outbuildings and grain bins destroyed. Another destructive aspect of this storm is that it also produced ping pong ball sized hail that was blown by the intense winds. This resulted in significant window and body damage to cars, as well as roof, siding, and window damage to homes. Additional significant wind damage was reported in and around Burwell (just barely outside this coverage area). The first round of thunderstorms exited north/northeast of the area around 3:30PM CDT, but the next round was ���hot on its heels���, and entered southern Nebraska around 4PM CDT, and quickly became severe. In fact, brief, but intense, circulations were noted on radar for a time just south and southeast of Hastings. This round affected mainly areas along and east of Highway 281. Since this region was spared from the first round, and a similar thermodynamic and kinematic environment was still in place, it���s no surprise that this round also intensified enough to produce ���significant severe��� wind gusts, most notably in a swath from Clay County northeast to Polk County. Several more 60-70 MPH wind gusts were reported in these areas, causing more overturned pivots, downed power lines, and damage to roofs, outbuildings, and grain bins. Also, intense wind gusts moved over Interstate 80 in Hamilton County, causing multiple overturned semis. This second round exited into eastern Nebraska and out of the Hastings CWA around 7PM CDT. The third and final round began to affect areas along and east Highway 183 between 7PM and 8PM CDT. The majority of this activity remained sub-severe as the greatest instability had been used up by the two previous rounds. However, a marginally severe wind gust of 59 MPH was measured at the Hastings airport shortly before 8PM. Thereafter, weakening ensued as the line became strung out and forward propagation slowed. Thunderstorms finally exited south central Nebraska between 11PM and midnight, ending a roughly 10 hour stretch of seemingly never ending severe weather!||Meteorologically speaking, this event was driven by a particularly volatile combination of intensifying shortwave ejecting from the central Rockies into the northern Plains, very unstable airmass (MUCAPE of 3000-4000 J/kg at it���s peak), and strong deep layer shear driven by 500 mb speed max of 60-70 kt. While this setup is not unheard of for mid-May, it���s certainly not very common, and for three distinct waves of thunderstorms to move through in a 10 hour period (two of which contained significant severe weather phenomena) is also not very common. From a regional perspective, the Hastings CWA was the developing grounds for a significant derecho that would propagate into the Northern Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley and go on to produce hundreds of measured severe wind gusts and wind damage reports, of which over 60 were considered ���significant severe���. Over 75 hail reports and nearly three dozen tornado reports were also reported, with the majority of tornadoes occurring in SD and MN. For 2022, this will likely be remembered as one of the most severe convective events of the year, both locally, and across the greater region.

Within Clay County, tree branches were downed in several communities including Trumbull, Deweese, Fairfield and Edgar. Shortly before this storm complex exited the local area to the southeast between 11:00-11:30 p.m. CDT, wind intensity ramped down to slightly sub-severe levels within southern/eastern Thayer County. Although far from the only outdoor event interruption of the evening within South Central Nebraska, one of the more noteworthy ones associated with this MCS involved the Adams County Fairfest in Hastings, where an ongoing Nelly concert was cut short and an evacuation of the grounds was successfully initiated shortly before the storm struck. Although rain totals of 1-2 inches were common within the heart of the MCS track (overall highest inF Clay County), any flooding was of the very short term/nuisance variety. To the west of the aforementioned primary swath of severe weather, a few separate and smaller-scale areas of strong to severe storms impacted portions of primarily Furnas, Buffalo and Dawson counties mainly between 7-9 p.m. CDT. In Furnas County, a relatively small but intense supercell roamed northern and eastern parts of the county, with estimated 80 MPH winds destroying an outbuilding and grain bin at a farmstead between Holbrook and Arapahoe. Meanwhile, other semi-discrete convection within parts of Buffalo/Dawson counties yielded a few wind reports including a mesonet-measured 64 MPH gust near Kearney and a slightly sub-severe 54 MPH speed near Lexington. The eastern reaches of this activity eventually merged with the primary MCS as it charged across the I-80 corridor and into the Hastings area. ||Finishing with some details regarding the evolution and meteorology behind this event, the initial development of isolated to scattered thunderstorms during the mid-late afternoon hours occurred in separate areas slightly off to the north and also west of South Central Nebraska, with this early activity gradually increasing in both coverage/intensity as it evolved into the local area. In the mid-upper levels, forcing was fairly weak, featuring only subtle shortwave energy working into the region in west-northwest flow, directed around the northeastern periphery of a large-scale ridge centered over the Four Corners region. At the surface, there were also no significant features of note locally, with most of South Central Nebraska simply reporting 5-15 MPH east-southeasterly breezes during the afternoon. However, the initial storm development off to the north and west of the area appeared to be tied to weak convergence along a pair of subtle boundaries. Despite the aforementioned weak forcing and also weak mid level lapse rates, the environment featured plentiful low level moisture/instability and seasonably-decent deep layer wind shear of 30-40 knots. Ahead of the incoming storms, late afternoon temperatures in the upper 80s-low 90s (F) and dewpoints in the upper 60s-mid 70s promoted mixed-layer CAPE 2000-3000 J/kg.

Turning to storm-scale details, the supercell that eventually roared into Furnas County actually initiated/became severe roughly 240 miles off to the west-northwest during the late afternoon of the 28th...in extreme southeast Wyoming. During the evening, the intense storm slowly lumbered southeastward through the far southwestern Nebraska Panhandle into northeast Colorado. By around midnight CDT, this convection had morphed into a powerful supercell cluster/small complex as it entered far southwestern Nebraska and started tracking more due-east...riding along the northern fringes of a tight mid-level temperature gradient (generally hugging the 12C line at 700 millibars). Out ahead of this dominant supercell, increasing low-mid level warm air advection prompted the brief flare-up of a lone strong/marginally-severe storm over Furnas/Harlan counties between 12:30-1:30 a.m. CDT (which produced ping pong ball size hail). However, this was just a small taste of what was to come a few hours later, as the notable supercell cluster reached Furnas/Harlan counties between 3-4 a.m. CDT. During the ensuing hour, this storm complex gradually weakened within Franklin/Webster counties as additional strong storms flared up out ahead of it primarily over Nuckolls/Thayer/Fillmore counties. Between 5-6 a.m. CDT the severe weather threat finally ended within South Central Nebraska for the night, as the main core of the initial supercell cluster slipped slightly south of the state line into northern Kansas, while the more widespread convection to its north remained sub-severe while gradually exiting eastward into eastern Nebraska. Although there had been considerable uncertainty whether South Central Nebraska would even see such an intense storm during the pre-dawn hours of the 29th, once it started approaching the local area from southwest Nebraska the mesoscale environment strongly supported its eastward persistence, given a formidable combination of at least 2000-3000 most-unstable CAPE and at least 50-60 knots of deep-layer wind shear. A cluster of thunderstorms sliding east just north of the Nebraska-Kansas state line produced widespread severe weather across central and southern portions of Furnas County. Hail generally up to the size of golf balls was reported across this area, though isolated larger hail fell west of Wilsonville (3 inches in diameter) and in Beaver City (baseball size). Wind gusts were estimated to be anywhere from 60 to 70 MPH, resulting in numerous reports of tree damage, including whole trees snapped and larger limbs downed.

Within the hardest-hit southern counties (mainly Furnas/Harlan/Franklin) there were several instances of not only severe-criteria wind/hail but also narrow swaths of very heavy rain and localized flash flooding...resulting from the highest official/measured short-fuse rain totals of the 2021 convective season within the 24-county local area. On the hail/wind side of things, a few of the more notable reports (all occurring between 5:30-11:30 p.m. CDT) included: golf ball size hail in rural northwestern Buffalo County; ping pong ball size stones near Wilsonville; several instances of estimated or measured gusts of 60-70 MPH within Furnas/Harlan counties (including a few downed trees in towns such as Alma/Orleans). However, for parts of primarily Furnas, Harlan, Franklin and Webster counties, this event's signature calling card was heavy rain and localized flooding. While the majority of those four counties received modest amounts of no more than 1-2 inches, significant training of storms dumped notably higher totals between 3-7+ in narrow swaths over the course of 6-8 hours. The most significant of these heavy rain bullseyes focused along/near the Highway 136 corridor between Orleans and Oxford, where 5-7+ was common, including an unofficial automated sensor that tallied 7.13 and nearby CoCoRaHS reports of 6.22 and 6.16. Although ground-truth reports of impactful flooding/flash flooding were sparse, a resident six miles north-northwest of Orleans confirmed that School Creek spilled out of its banks overnight, inundating a nearby gravel road for several hours and encroaching within 50 feet of his home. Despite this concentrated batch of very heavy rain falling directly onto the Republican River basin, there was no firm evidence that the Republican itself flooded before excess water flushed out into Harlan County Lake. Outside of this most notable heavy rain bullseye, other impressive area rain totals included 4.76 in Alma and 3.90 near Franklin. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing within South Central Nebraska: things got underway between 5-6 p.m. CDT as a large severe storm infiltrated southern Furnas County after initiating a bit earlier just west of the local area. During the same hour, another severe cell fired up slightly to its east over the Furnas/Harlan County line. Between 6-7 p.m. CDT these two storms merged over Harlan County before drifting slowly east across southern Franklin/Webster counties between 7-9 p.m. CDT. Meanwhile, during this same 7-9 p.m. CDT time frame but roughly 50-80 miles to the north-northeast, a separate area of scattered strong to severe activity briefly blossomed, primarily affecting parts of Buffalo, Sherman and Howard counties (and yielding a few hail reports) before fading away. Getting back to the original southern convection, the main concerns gradually transitioned from hail/wind to hydro/flooding between 9 p.m. and midnight CDT as a persistent, west-east oriented corridor of cell training focused along a line from Furnas through Webster counties (likely as a strengthening low level jet impinged upon the outflow/cold pool trailing from the earlier-evening storms). By midnight CDT this west-east corridor of training convection had thankfully lifted slightly north of its original position (more so along a line from Gosper through Kearney counties), ending the heavy rain threat for the night in the aforementioned places that had already been swamped with impressive amounts. Post-midnight, storms continued to percolate within portions of primarily Gosper/Phelps/Kearney/Webster/Nuckolls counties for a few to several more hours, but this activity was less intense and a bit more transient than the earlier round, keeping heavy rain and flooding concerns in check. By 5 a.m. CDT, the areal coverage of activity within southern local counties had waned considerably, with the last strong storm of the night affecting Nuckolls County before mostly-dissipating by sunrise. In the mid-upper levels, South Central Nebraska received a glancing blow of lift from a compact-but-potent shortwave trough swinging east-northeast from the Dakotas toward northern MN/southern Canada during the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the local area resided within a broad warm sector, slightly east-southeast of a weak cold front stalling out over western/north central Nebraska, and hundreds of miles south of a strong low pressure system (around 998 millibars) centered over southern Manitoba during the evening-overnight. Closer to home, the late afternoon initiation of robust storms near the Furnas County area was likely aided by modest moisture convergence focused slightly northeast of a secondary/weaker surface low (around 1004 millibars) along the CO/KS border. All in all, the mesoscale environment proved rather supportive of severe storms and transient supercell structures, with late afternoon parameters featuring 2000-3000 J/kg mixed layer CAPE and around 40 knots of deep-layer wind shear.

This event will likely go down as the most widespread severe weather event of the spring and summer of 2020 for the Hastings County Warning Area (CWA). Thunderstorms developed along a cold front across north central Nebraska, and also within a zone of low level upslope flow over western Nebraska and northeast Colorado, during the early evening hours of July 8th. Both areas of development initially contained both line segments and embedded supercells, posing risks for all severe hazards, but quickly organized into two separate lines of convection, or quasi linear convective systems (QLCSs). By 9pm CDT, one line extended roughly west to east from Thedford, NE to O'Neill, NE and was moving southeast, while the other line extended roughly north to south from near Thedford, NE to just west of McCook, NE and was moving mainly east. Shortly thereafter, both lines began to merge together into one coherent line. Thunderstorms began to enter far northern and western portions of the CWA around 10pm CDT. By this time, thunderstorms already had a history of producing 60 to 75 mph wind gusts and a few instances of large hail just northwest and west of the CWA. The line of thunderstorms strengthened and organized further as they shifted southeast into the CWA between 10-11pm CDT. In fact, an impressive bow echo developed over Gosper and Furnas Counties during this time and raced eastward, affecting areas primarily between Interstate 80 in south central Nebraska and Highway 36 in north central Kansas. Severe wind gusts remained the primary threat. The QLCS had taken on an ���S��� shape by 11pm CDT, slanting southwest to northeast. The greatest concentration of severe wind reports occurred over central and eastern portions of the CWA, roughly from Grand Island and Hastings eastward to York and Hebron, between 11pm CDT on July 8th and 1am CDT on July 9th as forward speed increased dramatically. Several wind gusts were measured between 70-75mph in this area, including a peak wind gust of 75mph in Thayer County. Not surprisingly, widespread wind damage was reported, as well, especially to trees, power lines, and crops. Downed tree limbs (medium to large size) and snapped small trees were fairly common. Power outages were also common across many small towns during the overnight and into the early morning hours, though an exact estimation of peak power outages is unknown. A few buildings also sustained damage, such as blown in doors and roof damage from fallen trees and lost shingles. Finally, a brief EF-0 tornado was determined to have occurred in Merrick County, with peak winds estimated to be around 85mph. Damage was limited. The leading edge of the QLCS, and associated peak wind threat, shifted east and southeast of the CWA by 1AM CDT, though lingering stratiform rain as well as a northwest to southeast band of thunderstorms near the state line continued for a few more hours. The only severe hail reported with this event was along the southwest flank of the QLCS over Furnas County, where thunderstorms continued to regenerate. A few instances of quarter to golf ball size hail was reported.||Meteorologically speaking, this severe wind event was driven largely by a cold front interacting with a strongly unstable airmass due to steep mid level lapse rates, strong heating, and moist boundary layer. Initially cellular activity quickly grew upscale into line segments owing to the linear forcing along the cold front and generally outflow dominated activity, with peak DCAPE values in excess of 1500 J/kg. The primary shortwave trough responsible for the cold front remained well north of the area, near the Montana/Canadian border, but several weak perturbations moving west to east over the cold front likely aided in thunderstorm development as well. A distinct mesoscale convective vortex, modest deep layer shear of 30-35 knots, and an intensifying southerly low level jet up to 45 knots sustained the severe convection well past sunset. Finally, it's worth noting that an impressive surface pressure rise/fall couplet of at least 3mb/2hr accompanied the QLCS across the CWA between 05Z and 07Z.

Meanwhile, other semi-discrete convection within parts of Buffalo/Dawson counties yielded a few wind reports including a mesonet-measured 64 MPH gust near Kearney and a slightly sub-severe 54 MPH speed near Lexington. The eastern reaches of this activity eventually merged with the primary MCS as it charged across the I-80 corridor and into the Hastings area. ||Finishing with some details regarding the evolution and meteorology behind this event, the initial development of isolated to scattered thunderstorms during the mid-late afternoon hours occurred in separate areas slightly off to the north and also west of South Central Nebraska, with this early activity gradually increasing in both coverage/intensity as it evolved into the local area. In the mid-upper levels, forcing was fairly weak, featuring only subtle shortwave energy working into the region in west-northwest flow, directed around the northeastern periphery of a large-scale ridge centered over the Four Corners region. At the surface, there were also no significant features of note locally, with most of South Central Nebraska simply reporting 5-15 MPH east-southeasterly breezes during the afternoon. However, the initial storm development off to the north and west of the area appeared to be tied to weak convergence along a pair of subtle boundaries. Despite the aforementioned weak forcing and also weak mid level lapse rates, the environment featured plentiful low level moisture/instability and seasonably-decent deep layer wind shear of 30-40 knots. Ahead of the incoming storms, late afternoon temperatures in the upper 80s-low 90s (F) and dewpoints in the upper 60s-mid 70s promoted mixed-layer CAPE 2000-3000 J/kg. Hail up to the size of half dollars was accompanied by wind gusts in the area ranging between 60-80 MPH. Wind gusts were estimated to be near 60 MPH in Holbrook, where a few large tree limbs were downed. A few miles east of Holbrook, gusts likely closer to 80 MPH caused damage at a farmstead. An outbuilding and grain bin were destroyed, and the roof of a two-car garage was damaged.", "ts_dict_index": [5103, 5104, 5105]} +{"event_id": 837349, "event_type": "Hail", "state": "NEBRASKA", "cz_name": "FURNAS", "begin_date_time": "2019-06-20 21:53:00", "end_date_time": "2019-06-20 21:53:00", "narrative": "The overall most significant, widespread damaging wind event of the 2019 convective season wrought havoc across much of South Central Nebraska between the late evening of Thursday the 20th and around sunrise on Friday the 21st. The culprits were two separate linear mesoscale convective systems (MCS), with the first one by far the most impactful. This first storm complex, which traversed the area between 10:30 p.m. and 3 a.m. CDT, produced a swath of damaging winds ranging anywhere from 60 up to around 90 MPH, particularly within a corridor centered roughly 15 miles either side of a line from Cambridge-Minden-Hastings-Sutton. Within this area, there were countless reports of damage, particularly to the likes of trees (many large trees uprooted), power poles/lines and irrigation pivots, but also to some structures (mainly rural outbuildings). A short list of some of the hardest-hit communities included: Arapahoe, Oxford, Kenesaw and Hastings, with Hastings likely enduring its most widespread tree damage in roughly five years. As just a few specific instances of damage and/or measured winds: a grain bin and outbuilding were destroyed near Holbrook with irrigation pipe blown up to one-half mile; an unofficial mesonet gusted to 95 MPH near Oxford; several farm outbuildings were damaged/destroyed near Phillips with sheet metal hanging in trees. Within the Tri Cities, Hastings clearly bore the brunt of wind issues, as Grand Island and Kearney only received a glancing blow of sub-severe gusts mainly in the 40-55 MPH range. However, some places outside of the main damage swath still weren't spared from storm impacts, including in Farwell, where a lightning-induced fire damaged a portion of the fire hall. This primary linear MCS exhibited impressive radar signatures including a bookend vortex and rear inflow notch, with the system as a whole taking on a notable S-shape on reflectivity. As the initial MCS began departing the local area into eastern Nebraska, a second round of storms got underway back to the west, in response to lift above the residual cold pool. Although not nearly as intense/organized as the earlier system, this convection congealed into a northeast-southwest oriented MCS as it entered southwestern counties such as Furnas/Gosper/Harlan between 3:30-4:30 a.m. CDT. For a while, this second system remained slightly sub-severe, with peak gusts only to around 50 MPH (including 53 MPH at Hastings airport). However, some intensification to marginally-severe levels occurred between 5:30-6:30 a.m. CDT in far southeast counties, evidenced by mesonet wind gusts of 67 MPH near Superior and 60 MPH at Davenport. The back edge of this second MCS departed the local area out of Thayer County by 7 a.m. CDT, finally ending the rocky night. ||Interestingly, severe-criteria hail was very limited during this event, taking a clear backseat to damaging winds. However, a few quarter size stones were reported in and near communities such as Cambridge and Nelson. The Cambridge area was likely the hardest-hit, as copious amounts of mainly small hail combined with winds to promote fairly extensive crop damage. Rainfall-wise, the majority of South Central Nebraska measured between 0.50-1.50, holding flooding issues at bay. However, there were limited corridors of 2-3+, particularly within parts of Furnas/Gosper/Phelps counties. Including more rain that fell on the morning of the 22nd, Thayer County actually dealt with some of the worst flooding issues in the ensuing few days, such as water over several rural roads and a bridge washout north of Chester. ||Looking at the meteorological setup, this was a fairly classic recipe for intense overnight convection in the Central Plains. In the mid-upper levels, seasonably-strong, west-southwesterly flow was in place, downstream from a large-scale trough centered over the Northern Rockies. At the surface, South Central Nebraska resided just north of a west-east oriented front stretched near the Kansas border. As a low-amplitude disturbance entered southern Nebraska during the evening, this forcing combined with a very unstable airmass and increasing moisture convergence within the exit region of a 30-40 knot southerly low level jet to spark the MCS activity. By late-night standards, it was a fairly volatile mesoscale environment, featuring 2000-4000 J/kg most-unstable CAPE and 30-40 knots of deep-layer wind shear. A newspaper story wrote that a tremendous amount of mostly small hail occurred. Drifts of hail still existed at sunrise the following morning on June 21st. One farmer reported 800 to 900 acres of corn were destroyed northeast, east, and southeast of Cambridge. Corn was stripped, leaving just the stalks. Wheat that was not flattened was also damaged. Some of the larger stones near Cambridge were the size of quarters. Furnas County Emergency Management noted that significant crop damage occurred in a swath all the way from south of Cambridge to south of Arapahoe.", "ts_dict_index": [5106, 5107, 5108]} +{"event_id": 1109267, "event_type": "Hail", "state": "NEBRASKA", "cz_name": "FURNAS", "begin_date_time": "2023-06-28 23:45:00", "end_date_time": "2023-06-28 23:45:00", "narrative": "Although it only impacted a small portion of South Central Nebraska, this very early Thursday morning was a destructive one within a few far southern counties as one of the fiercest (if not the fiercest) supercell thunderstorm of the local 2023 convective season raged across primarily the southern halves of Furnas/Harlan counties into southwestern Franklin County...laying down a concentrated swath of large hail/damaging winds before mercifully weakening as it slid farther east into southeastern Franklin and southern Webster/Nuckolls counties. This storm/supercell cluster had actually been trucking along for quite some time before invading the local area (see event evolution details below). Per numerous storm reports (and confirmed by post-event satellite imagery), the primary west-east swath of damage was only 5-10 miles across...centered almost directly along a line from Wilsonville-Beaver City-Stamford-Alma-Naponee. Within this corridor, the combination of large hail (some stones to at least baseball size) driven by wind gusts of at least 60-70 MPH prompted countless instances of damage such as: broken windows/damaged siding at homes/businesses, flipped irrigation pivots, crops destroyed by the thousands of acres, and more isolated occurrences of significantly damaged or demolished outbuildings. This was a fairly quick-hitting event within South Central Nebraska, with the vast majority of severe weather in the unfolding over 90 minutes between 3:00-4:30 a.m. CDT. Taking a deeper dive into storm reports and the various documented (and countless undocumented) occurrences of large hail/damaging winds within the primary convective swath, a few of the more noteworthy accounts that garnered local media coverage included: a nasty combination of wind-driven hail (widespread ping pong ball up to isolated baseball size stones and 60-80 MPH winds) that shredded crops and shattered many windows/significantly damaged siding in and near Wilsonville, Beaver City, Stamford and Orleans...including at business such as the Wilsonville Post Office; estimated 80 MPH winds in southern Harlan County that topped several trees/large branches in Alma and destroyed a farm machine shed between Stamford and Orleans. Although the vast majority of severe weather reports occurred with the primary supercell along the aforementioned narrow swath, there were a few outlier occurrences including: estimated 60-70 MPH winds near Cambridge (along the far northern fringes of the main supercell) and ping pong ball size hail in Beaver City from a rogue, isolated storm that briefly flared up a few hours prior to the main event. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing, and starting from a forecast perspective, this was not an overly-obvious setup for such a significant (albeit rather localized) severe storm event within the local area. Although some necessary ingredients were certainly present, short term/higher-resolution computer models (CAMs) varied considerably regarding how evening High Plains convection would evolve, and to what degree it would impact locales farther east (including South Central Nebraska). The 01 UTC (8 p.m. CDT) Day 1 Convective Outlook from SPC (valid through the early morning of the 29th) highlighted only a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for South Central Nebraska, but also acknowledged very substantial uncertainty. In the mid-upper levels, although lacking any noteworthy, small-scale disturbances, broad and seasonably-strong west-southwesterly flow was in place over the Central Plains...downstream from a large scale, positively-tilted trough centered from the Northern Rockies to the Great Basin. At the surface, South Central Nebraska resided north of a quasi-stationary front stretched across Kansas from southwest-to-northeast, with resultant east-northeasterly breezes to the north of this boundary enhancing High Plains upslope flow. Turning to storm-scale details, the supercell that eventually roared into Furnas County actually initiated/became severe roughly 240 miles off to the west-northwest during the late afternoon of the 28th...in extreme southeast Wyoming. During the evening, the intense storm slowly lumbered southeastward through the far southwestern Nebraska Panhandle into northeast Colorado. By around midnight CDT, this convection had morphed into a powerful supercell cluster/small complex as it entered far southwestern Nebraska and started tracking more due-east...riding along the northern fringes of a tight mid-level temperature gradient (generally hugging the 12C line at 700 millibars). Out ahead of this dominant supercell, increasing low-mid level warm air advection prompted the brief flare-up of a lone strong/marginally-severe storm over Furnas/Harlan counties between 12:30-1:30 a.m. CDT (which produced ping pong ball size hail). However, this was just a small taste of what was to come a few hours later, as the notable supercell cluster reached Furnas/Harlan counties between 3-4 a.m. CDT. During the ensuing hour, this storm complex gradually weakened within Franklin/Webster counties as additional strong storms flared up out ahead of it primarily over Nuckolls/Thayer/Fillmore counties. Between 5-6 a.m. CDT the severe weather threat finally ended within South Central Nebraska for the night, as the main core of the initial supercell cluster slipped slightly south of the state line into northern Kansas, while the more widespread convection to its north remained sub-severe while gradually exiting eastward into eastern Nebraska. Although there had been considerable uncertainty whether South Central Nebraska would even see such an intense storm during the pre-dawn hours of the 29th, once it started approaching the local area from southwest Nebraska the mesoscale environment strongly supported its eastward persistence, given a formidable combination of at least 2000-3000 most-unstable CAPE and at least 50-60 knots of deep-layer wind shear.

However, the vast majority of strong to severe activity focused within a 15-30 mile wide swath centered along a line from Franklin-Blue Hill-Sutton-York. Within this corridor, there were a number of reports of large hail ranging from quarter size up to tennis ball size, with the tennis ball (2.5 inch) reports out of Harvard and Stockham. There were also several instances of ping pong ball to golf ball size stones, including in or near the following communities: Blue Hill, Sutton, Edgar and Glenvil. Finally, marginally-severe, quarter to half dollar size hail reports originated from in or near places such as: Franklin, Bladen, Clay Center, Deweese and York. Large hail was clearly the main story of the evening, as there were only a few measured strong to marginally-severe gusts of 50+ MPH, a few of which were several miles removed from obvious thunderstorm outflow and were likely associated with a weak wake low. A few of the strongest detected gusts included 58 MPH in Doniphan (unofficial mesonet) and ASOS-measured gusts of 55 and 52 MPH at Grand Island and Hastings airports, respectively. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing, if anything the intensity of storms (and peak hail size) ended up being a bit surprising given the seasonably-modest and just in time nature of low-level moisture advecting northward into the area along a slow-moving surface warm front. At daybreak on the 18th, this west-east oriented front was aligned across northern Kansas, with South Central Nebraska firmly on its cool/dry side with surface dewpoints mainly only in the 20s (F). Meanwhile, in the mid-upper levels, the Central Plains resided well downstream of a large scale trough centered over the Northern Rockies. Over the course of the day, a subtle wave along the leading edges of the aforementioned parent trough entered the Central High Plains. This prompted a gradual increase in west-southwesterly, mid-upper level flow into South Central Nebraska, along with a gradual increase in south-southeasterly low-level flow, allowing slow-but-steady northward moisture transport into the lifting warm frontal zone. By late afternoon (around the time of convective initiation), a 994 millibar surface low was noted over northwest Kansas, with the attendant warm front extending into far southern Nebraska to its east, and a north-south oriented dryline trailing southward. Although still seasonably-unimpressive, surface dewpoints over the southern half of South Central Nebraska had risen well into the mid-upper 40s by this time (a surge of nearly 20 degrees over early morning values). This meager-but-sufficient low level moisture, combined with steep low-to-mid level lapse rates and convergence near the warm front/dryline intersection, was enough to initiate the first high-based storms of the afternoon over north central Kansas around 5:30 p.m. CDT. Already by 6 p.m. CDT, the first severe-warned storm of the day within South Central Nebraska had entered southern Franklin County. During the next two hours, a series of semi-discrete, strong-to-severe cells affected primarily Franklin/Webster counties. Then, between 8-10 p.m. CDT, intense elevated convection consolidated into a more cohesive line as it tracked northeastward across portions of mainly Adams/Clay/Nuckolls/Hamilton/Fillmore counties, aided by an uptick in a 40-50 knot southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars). Finally, between 10:00-11:30 p.m. CDT, this severe storm complex traversed York County before exiting the local area into eastern Nebraska, while other non-severe cells passed through various counties mainly along/north of Highway 92 before also departing South Central Nebraska...thus ending all local thunderstorm activity for the night. As it turned out, despite the unimpressive low level moisture magnitude, the combination of mixed-layer CAPE increasing to as high as 1000-1500 J/kg during the evening, combined with strong effective deep-layer wind shear around 50 knots, proved plenty sufficient to ignite robust updrafts.

Rainfall-wise, while most places affected by storms received no more than 1.50 inches, portions of primarily southern Harlan and northern Furnas counties measured at least 2.50-3.00, including an unofficial mesonet with 3.96 south of Alma and a CoCoRaHS report of 3.05 in Arapahoe. However, there were no ground-truth reports of significant flooding. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing within each main area of convection and starting with the more intense southwestern activity: things got going between 4-5 p.m. CDT as an isolated supercell fired up over the northern Furnas-Harlan County border, initiating in a zone of modest surface moisture convergence along a weak trough axis extending northeastward out of western KS. Over the next few hours, this stout storm drifted very slowly south-southeastward through much of Harlan County, finally exiting the state southward into KS by around 7:30 p.m. CDT. In the wake of the departed supercell, scattered storms began developing (and re-developing) within Furnas, Harlan, southern Gosper and southern Phelps counties for several hours, in response to lift within the nose of a gradually-strengthening low level jet. Through 10:30 p.m. CDT most of this activity remained fairly weak, but especially between 11 p.m-1 a.m. CDT a west-east oriented band intensified over northern Furnas County, dropping hail to at least golf ball size in spots before lifting into southern Gosper County and weakening/dissipating by 2 a.m. CDT. Turning to the completely separate area of strong to severe storms farther north: a broken, east-northeast to west-southwest oriented line of convection first got underway within Valley/Greeley counties between 4:30-6:30 p.m. CDT, focused along a quasi-stationary front draped across central NE. Through 9 p.m. CDT, strong to briefly-severe storms remained mainly north of Highway 92 as they drifted slowly south-southeast, gradually weakening and congealing into a more solid line. Between 9-11 p.m. CDT the eastern reaches of this convection sagged as far south as Hamilton/York counties but was non-severe. By midnight CDT the vast majority of local eastern counties were storm-free, and largely remained so through the rest of the night. In the mid-upper levels, this was a weakly-forced event as South Central Nebraska resided under fairly benign quasi-zonal flow (even subtle weak ridging), well-downstream from a larger-scale trough still well off to the west during the evening (over the Intermountain West). As a result, deep-layer wind shear was not overly-strong, averaging just 30-35 knots. In addition, low-level moisture was seasonably-modest, with surface dewpoints peaking only mid-50s F. However, due in part to afternoon temperatures climbing a bit higher than anticipated (highs mid-80s F), mixed-layer CAPE topped out as high as 1500-2000 J/kg. Ultimately, the combination of healthy instability, modest shear, modest convergence along the aforementioned surface boundaries and eventually an increasing low level jet proved sufficient to drive limited areal coverage of intense convection, most notably the Harlan County supercell.

However, the vast majority of strong to severe activity focused within a 15-30 mile wide swath centered along a line from Franklin-Blue Hill-Sutton-York. Within this corridor, there were a number of reports of large hail ranging from quarter size up to tennis ball size, with the tennis ball (2.5 inch) reports out of Harvard and Stockham. There were also several instances of ping pong ball to golf ball size stones, including in or near the following communities: Blue Hill, Sutton, Edgar and Glenvil. Finally, marginally-severe, quarter to half dollar size hail reports originated from in or near places such as: Franklin, Bladen, Clay Center, Deweese and York. Large hail was clearly the main story of the evening, as there were only a few measured strong to marginally-severe gusts of 50+ MPH, a few of which were several miles removed from obvious thunderstorm outflow and were likely associated with a weak wake low. A few of the strongest detected gusts included 58 MPH in Doniphan (unofficial mesonet) and ASOS-measured gusts of 55 and 52 MPH at Grand Island and Hastings airports, respectively. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing, if anything the intensity of storms (and peak hail size) ended up being a bit surprising given the seasonably-modest and just in time nature of low-level moisture advecting northward into the area along a slow-moving surface warm front. At daybreak on the 18th, this west-east oriented front was aligned across northern Kansas, with South Central Nebraska firmly on its cool/dry side with surface dewpoints mainly only in the 20s (F). Meanwhile, in the mid-upper levels, the Central Plains resided well downstream of a large scale trough centered over the Northern Rockies. Over the course of the day, a subtle wave along the leading edges of the aforementioned parent trough entered the Central High Plains. This prompted a gradual increase in west-southwesterly, mid-upper level flow into South Central Nebraska, along with a gradual increase in south-southeasterly low-level flow, allowing slow-but-steady northward moisture transport into the lifting warm frontal zone. By late afternoon (around the time of convective initiation), a 994 millibar surface low was noted over northwest Kansas, with the attendant warm front extending into far southern Nebraska to its east, and a north-south oriented dryline trailing southward. Although still seasonably-unimpressive, surface dewpoints over the southern half of South Central Nebraska had risen well into the mid-upper 40s by this time (a surge of nearly 20 degrees over early morning values). This meager-but-sufficient low level moisture, combined with steep low-to-mid level lapse rates and convergence near the warm front/dryline intersection, was enough to initiate the first high-based storms of the afternoon over north central Kansas around 5:30 p.m. CDT. Already by 6 p.m. CDT, the first severe-warned storm of the day within South Central Nebraska had entered southern Franklin County. During the next two hours, a series of semi-discrete, strong-to-severe cells affected primarily Franklin/Webster counties. Then, between 8-10 p.m. CDT, intense elevated convection consolidated into a more cohesive line as it tracked northeastward across portions of mainly Adams/Clay/Nuckolls/Hamilton/Fillmore counties, aided by an uptick in a 40-50 knot southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars). Finally, between 10:00-11:30 p.m. CDT, this severe storm complex traversed York County before exiting the local area into eastern Nebraska, while other non-severe cells passed through various counties mainly along/north of Highway 92 before also departing South Central Nebraska...thus ending all local thunderstorm activity for the night. As it turned out, despite the unimpressive low level moisture magnitude, the combination of mixed-layer CAPE increasing to as high as 1000-1500 J/kg during the evening, combined with strong effective deep-layer wind shear around 50 knots, proved plenty sufficient to ignite robust updrafts.

This event will likely go down as the most widespread severe weather event of the spring and summer of 2020 for the Hastings County Warning Area (CWA). Thunderstorms developed along a cold front across north central Nebraska, and also within a zone of low level upslope flow over western Nebraska and northeast Colorado, during the early evening hours of July 8th. Both areas of development initially contained both line segments and embedded supercells, posing risks for all severe hazards, but quickly organized into two separate lines of convection, or quasi linear convective systems (QLCSs). By 9pm CDT, one line extended roughly west to east from Thedford, NE to O'Neill, NE and was moving southeast, while the other line extended roughly north to south from near Thedford, NE to just west of McCook, NE and was moving mainly east. Shortly thereafter, both lines began to merge together into one coherent line. Thunderstorms began to enter far northern and western portions of the CWA around 10pm CDT. By this time, thunderstorms already had a history of producing 60 to 75 mph wind gusts and a few instances of large hail just northwest and west of the CWA. The line of thunderstorms strengthened and organized further as they shifted southeast into the CWA between 10-11pm CDT. In fact, an impressive bow echo developed over Gosper and Furnas Counties during this time and raced eastward, affecting areas primarily between Interstate 80 in south central Nebraska and Highway 36 in north central Kansas. Severe wind gusts remained the primary threat. The QLCS had taken on an ���S��� shape by 11pm CDT, slanting southwest to northeast. The greatest concentration of severe wind reports occurred over central and eastern portions of the CWA, roughly from Grand Island and Hastings eastward to York and Hebron, between 11pm CDT on July 8th and 1am CDT on July 9th as forward speed increased dramatically. Several wind gusts were measured between 70-75mph in this area, including a peak wind gust of 75mph in Thayer County. Not surprisingly, widespread wind damage was reported, as well, especially to trees, power lines, and crops. Downed tree limbs (medium to large size) and snapped small trees were fairly common. Power outages were also common across many small towns during the overnight and into the early morning hours, though an exact estimation of peak power outages is unknown. A few buildings also sustained damage, such as blown in doors and roof damage from fallen trees and lost shingles. Finally, a brief EF-0 tornado was determined to have occurred in Merrick County, with peak winds estimated to be around 85mph. Damage was limited. The leading edge of the QLCS, and associated peak wind threat, shifted east and southeast of the CWA by 1AM CDT, though lingering stratiform rain as well as a northwest to southeast band of thunderstorms near the state line continued for a few more hours. The only severe hail reported with this event was along the southwest flank of the QLCS over Furnas County, where thunderstorms continued to regenerate. A few instances of quarter to golf ball size hail was reported.||Meteorologically speaking, this severe wind event was driven largely by a cold front interacting with a strongly unstable airmass due to steep mid level lapse rates, strong heating, and moist boundary layer. Initially cellular activity quickly grew upscale into line segments owing to the linear forcing along the cold front and generally outflow dominated activity, with peak DCAPE values in excess of 1500 J/kg. The primary shortwave trough responsible for the cold front remained well north of the area, near the Montana/Canadian border, but several weak perturbations moving west to east over the cold front likely aided in thunderstorm development as well. A distinct mesoscale convective vortex, modest deep layer shear of 30-35 knots, and an intensifying southerly low level jet up to 45 knots sustained the severe convection well past sunset. Finally, it's worth noting that an impressive surface pressure rise/fall couplet of at least 3mb/2hr accompanied the QLCS across the CWA between 05Z and 07Z.

Hail up to two inches in diameter occurred north of Riverdale and east of Amherst. This long-lived storm continued moving north-northeast, producing severe hail across parts of Sherman, Howard, and Greeley counties through 630 PM CST. The largest hail was the size of tennis balls between Loup City and Rockville. The right-moving storm continued producing severe hail up to ping pong ball size from northern Franklin into southwest Adams county. While these two storms were in progress, other scattered storms developed, forming a broken line from near McCook northeast to near Columbus. Another supercell formed over northern Kansas and moved into Furnas county. Between 515 and 530 PM CST, this supercell split, with the left-mover producing 2 to 2.5 inch hail between Cambridge and Holbrook. This storm moved north-northeast across Gosper and Dawson counties through 630 PM CST. The only other hail reported with this storm was the size of half dollars in the town of Eddyville. The last storm known to produce severe hail occurred at Grand Island, where nickel to quarter size hail occurred between 730 and 800 PM CST.

Effective SRH was between 150 and 200 m2/s2, with even higher values on the cold side of the front. The lack of strong forcing aloft, combined with the low-level and deep-layer shear contributed to a cellular convective mode, some of which were supercells.

However, a handful of storms became strong to marginally-severe. Ground-truth reports were quite limited, but included nickel size hail near Holbrook and a measured wind gust to 59 MPH near Shickley (unofficial mesonet). Based on radar data, marginally-severe storms might have also affected at least small portions of the following counties, but with no verification: Greeley, Howard, Nance and Gosper. Rainfall-wise, amounts across the 24-county area were highly variable, with most areas receiving no more than one-quarter to one-half inch, but ranging from hardly a drop in some spots, to several small pockets at least 1-2, particularly within portions of several counties along/north of Interstate 80. However, there were no reports of impactful flooding. ||Turning to the meteorological background and event evolution, this was another case of marginally-severe convection forming in a moderately-unstable, but weakly-sheared environment. In the mid-upper levels, wind fields remained unusually weak by early-June standards, thanks to South Central Nebraska residing under broad ridging stretched across the heart of the United States from north-northwest to south-southeast...well-removed from any larger-scale troughs centered over the northeastern and northwestern states. However, on the smaller-scale, a weak disturbance (possible MCV) drifted east into South Central Nebraska during the afternoon-evening, likely supporting more widespread convective coverage versus the day before.

Ping pong to golf ball size hail occurred in or near the following communities/locations: Fullerton, Amherst, Orleans, Harlan County Lake, Naponee and Deweese. In the Tri Cities, only Grand Island saw severe weather, as two rounds of quarter to half dollar size hail moved through, one mainly affecting the north side of town (including the airport) around 6 p.m. CDT, and another about an hour later that clipped more of the city. As for thunderstorm winds, the vast majority of gusts captured by area sensors were non-severe (generally 40-50 MPH), but there were two reports estimated around 60 MPH, one near Hampton and another at Hebron, where a few large trees were downed and a store front sustained minor damage. Given fairly progressive storm motions, rainfall totals in most affected areas were less than 1 inch during the afternoon/evening. However, combined with localized heavy rain that fell during a separate round of early morning/non-severe activity, portions of mainly eastern Clay County registered over 3 for the day (including NWS coop observer total of 3.33 six miles east-southeast of Clay Center). As a result, the later-day storms prompted some isolated flash flooding, as School Creek overtopped the paved spur road south of Saronville. ||This event was characterized by truly scattered, hit-or-miss convection, as afternoon heating and subtle convergence along/ahead of a weak cold front sagging southward into the region prompted several strong to severe storms, mainly in the form of multicells/multicell clusters, but also a few brief supercells. Nearly every county in the 24-county area observed at least a touch of thunderstorm activity. That being said, the majority of ground-truth reports concentrated in two primary areas: 1) parts of Hall/Hamilton/Merrick counties...2) a swath from eastern Furnas to far southwestern Franklin counties. A few of the first severe storms of the event flared up over Furnas/Buffalo counties between 430-530 p.m. CDT, and the final severe storm of the evening was centered over the Nuckolls County area before weakening around 9 p.m. CDT.

In total, 19 Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were issued within South Central Nebraska over the course of over four hours. Digging deeper into the meteorological setup, it's worth noting that this event exceeded forecast expectations, especially in terms of the number of severe storms. This was due in part to greater-than-expected convective instability, as afternoon surface dewpoints soared into the upper 60s-low 70 F, promoting significant mixed-layer CAPE of at least 3000-4000 J/kg. In tandem with deep layer wind shear around 35 knots, this CAPE/shear combo proved plenty sufficient for robust convection. In the mid-upper levels, a pronounced north-northwest flow regime resided over the Central Plains, within the interface between a stout western United States ridge and a broad eastern trough.

Focusing first on severe winds, most estimated or measured gusts were in the 50-70 MPH range and associated with primarily tree damage. However a few isolated structural damage reports were more suggestive of at least 75-80 MPH, including: 1) 10 power poles blown down and three grain bins destroyed (along with some overturned irrigation pivots) west of Aurora...2) grain bin damage and overturned pivots north of Minden. Hail was more limited overall, but stones reached golf ball size at Pauline and ping pong ball size in Davenport, while Hastings saw nickel to quarter size hail. Rainfall amounts varied considerably (most of South Central Nebraska had less than one-half inch), but a fairly narrow swath of at least 1.50-2.50 targeted parts of primarily Thayer/Nuckolls/Clay counties, with one unofficial report as high as 3.17 near Belvidere. Flooding was fairly minimal, although one rural road along the Fillmore/Thayer County line still had water running across it around sunrise. ||As for storm mode/evolution, this was a somewhat complex event. The first local convection of the night entered the Furnas County area out of northwest Kansas after 11 p.m. CDT, in the form of a compact linear mesoscale convective system (MCS) on a weakening trend. But then, between midnight-1 a.m. CDT, a broken band of intense, semi-discrete storms erupted out ahead of this MCS along a west-east axis centered from Phelps-Adams-Thayer counties (likely in response to the onset of a healthy low level jet). However, these initially semi-discrete storms (which accounted for all large hail reports) quickly consolidated/grew upscale into a new linear MCS that charged north-northeast across the Highway 6/Interstate 80 corridors between 1-2 a.m. CDT, gradually merging with the initial MCS racing up from the southwest in the process. During the ensuing hour, the two complexes completed a full merger; the northern end weakening as it reached far northeastern counties (such as Nance/Polk), while the southern end remained severe through Fillmore/Thayer counties before departing the local area into southeast Nebraska. This ended any severe threat for the night, although weaker storms and broader showers persisted until around sunrise in some spots. This was a ripe setup for severe nocturnal storms, especially with the exit region of a 30-40 knot southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) aimed into the heart of South Central Nebraska after dark, and tapping into a large reservoir of most-unstable CAPE as high as 2000-3000 J/kg. In the mid-upper levels, flow over the region was not overly-strong, but contained various low-amplitude disturbances and was in the process of transitioning more southwesterly in response to a larger-scale trough setting up over the northwestern United States. There were no distinct surface features across the local area, but steady light southeast breezes prior to storm initiation maintained seasonably-high dewpoints in the mid-60s to low-70 F. Likely one of the main limiting factors against a more robust severe threat was only modest deep-layer wind shear around 30 knots.

Other showers and thunderstorms developed south of Interstate 80, and by mid-afternoon, they had moved across and to the north of the Interstate. A couple of these storms became severe and produced large amounts of hail (the freezing level was around 8,000 ft AGL). One storm turned severe from northwest Kearney county into south-central Buffalo county, where hail up to the size of ping pong balls occurred, including in the southwest part of the city of Kearney. There was a narrow swath of Interstate 80 that was covered with hail, and snowplows needed to be deployed. The other severe storm tracked from near Edgar to McCool Junction, where it also produced hail up to the size of ping pong balls. The thunderstorm activity ended by late afternoon. These storms were elevated, on the cold side of a strong cold front. As the colder temperatures near-surface moved in, and lapse rates steepened, north winds increased to 30 to 35 mph, with frequent gusts between 45 and 55 mph. There were a few higher wind gusts, including 63 mph at the Lexington airport, which was the highest gust recorded, 59 mph near Odessa, and 58 mph at Cozad and Hastings. Late in the afternoon, the thunderstorms weakened into showers which eventually morphed into stratiform rain as they encountered stability. This rain moved into increasingly colder air where it changed to snow north of a line from Lexington to Fullerton. One to 5 inches of snow fell, with most areas measuring 1 to 3 inches.

As a result, deep-layer wind shear was not overly-strong, averaging just 30-35 knots. In addition, low-level moisture was seasonably-modest, with surface dewpoints peaking only mid-50s F. However, due in part to afternoon temperatures climbing a bit higher than anticipated (highs mid-80s F), mixed-layer CAPE topped out as high as 1500-2000 J/kg. Ultimately, the combination of healthy instability, modest shear, modest convergence along the aforementioned surface boundaries and eventually an increasing low level jet proved sufficient to drive limited areal coverage of intense convection, most notably the Harlan County supercell. Off and on quarter size hail was reported to have fallen for at least 30 minutes.", "ts_dict_index": [5136, 5137, 5138]} +{"event_id": 922601, "event_type": "Hail", "state": "NEBRASKA", "cz_name": "CLAY", "begin_date_time": "2020-10-11 19:19:00", "end_date_time": "2020-10-11 19:19:00", "narrative": "A strong cold front brought intense non-thunderstorm and thunderstorm-related wind gusts to south central Nebraska on Sunday evening the 11th. This front entered western portions of the Hastings NWS county warning area (CWA) around 7pm CDT. The cold front already had a history of producing severe caliber, non-thunderstorm, straight line winds over western and central Nebraska, and this trend continued along and just behind the cold front as it marched through south central Nebraska. The strongest winds, initially, were focused roughly along an area from Furnas County northeast into Buffalo County, where measured and estimated wind gusts of 55-65 mph were fairly common. Damage reports from these areas were fairly typical for winds of this magnitude and mainly limited to tree and power line damage. By 7:30pm CDT, an area of showers and thunderstorms developed along and just behind the cold front over Kearney and Franklin Counties as the cold front continued to progress east. This activity reached roughly the Highway 281 corridor from Grand Island to Hastings around 8pm CDT. Wind gusts associated with the passage of the cold front had weakened slightly by this time, but were still quite strong around 50-55 mph, with mainly minor tree damage and power outages reported in the Tri Cities. After 8pm CDT, the area of thunderstorms began to expand northeast and connected up with existing thunderstorms that had already developed along the cold front over northeast and east central Nebraska, essentially filling in a gap that had existed in between the two thunderstorm clusters. Thunderstorm intensity increased just east of Hastings between 8pm CDT and 8:30pm CDT, such that the wind gusts produced by the thunderstorms exacerbated the already-high ambient synoptically driven non-thunderstorm wind gusts associated with the cold front. This resulted in the strongest wind gusts of the evening, generally 60 to 70mph, in a swath that covered portions of Clay, Fillmore, and Thayer Counties. Significant tree damage occurred in these areas, along with damage to a few empty grain bins. Another significant impact, albeit somewhat less obvious or common than typical tree/power line damage, was blowing dust and corn stalks (this event occurred during the harvest season) that led to reduced visibility and ultimately contributed to a four-vehicle accident along Highway 81 just north of Bruning. Another incidence of poor visibility caused a vehicle to leave the roadway in Clay County. ||The highest wind gust with this event was 71 mph, measured by a mesonet station in Thayer County. As mentioned above, the damaging wind events in the eastern half of the CWA were largely driven by convective winds that enhanced already-high ambient winds. Farther west, the severe wind was non-convective and driven by intense pressure rises behind the cold front on the order of 3-5 mb/2 hrs. Overall, this event was one of the more significant wind events of the season and was somewhat unique due to the narrow overlap, spatially and temporally, of both convective and non-convective damaging winds.

Examining Round 1 in more detail, it unfolded from 4-8 p.m. CDT within several counties south of Interstate 80 and east of Highway 183, but with the majority of action focused within Adams, Webster and Nuckolls counties. The primary player here was an initially isolated, high-precipitation supercell that developed over western Adams County, gradually growing upscale into more of a supercell cluster as it surged southeastward before departing into northern Kansas. This storm was a prolific hail-producer, particularly within southwestern Adams County where there were numerous reports of stones ranging from quarter to larger than baseball size. The area in and near Holstein was particularly hard-hit, as hail as large as 3 was documented there by an NWS employee (although the vast majority of stones were smaller than this). As this massive storm sank farther south it became increasingly outflow-dominant and more of a wind-producer, with several gusts of 55-70 MPH reported in the Guide Rock and Superior areas. Independent of this storm of the day, other severe storms flared up during the afternoon and early evening within counties such as Clay/Fillmore/Franklin, producing hail of 2 diameter near Ong and golf ball size in Naponee. Rainfall-wise, though not extreme, amounts of 1.50-2.50 fell within much of Adams/Webster counties. This led to minor flooding on the Little Blue River, with the gauge near Deweese cresting at 10.3 feet on the afternoon of the 26th (flood stage 10 ft.). ||After Round 1 departed into Kansas, all was quiet on the local front for several hours. However, Round 2 got underway after 1 a.m. CDT on the 26th and persisted until past sunrise. This round of convection was not as intense, mainly producing heavy rainfall, sub-severe wind gusts and small hail within northeastern portions of the area (mainly northeast of an Ord-York line). However, there were a few severe-criteria reports including quarter size hail in York and a 61 MPH wind gust near Waco. Technically, Round 2 consisted of a few separate areas of storms: one small cluster that blew up over York County along the nose of a nocturnal low level jet and another larger complex that expanded across several northeastern counties between 3-7 a.m. CDT before finally weakening and departing the vast majority of South Central Nebraska by 9 a.m. CDT. Rainfall totals of 1.50-3.00 were fairly common with this early-AM activity, highlighted by NeRAIN totals of 3.60 near York and 3.33 north of Osceola. Resultant flooding was relatively minor, including along the Clear Creek in northern Polk County, which crested at 8.3 feet on the morning of the 27th (flood stage 8 ft.).||For yielding so many severe weather reports, this was actually a fairly weakly-forced event in the mid-upper levels, with Nebraska positioned along the southern periphery of broad westerly flow and no significant shortwave troughs of note. However, the intense afternoon-early evening convection was clearly tied to low-level convergence along a west-east oriented, quasi-stationary surface front. As afternoon temperatures climbed into the upper 80s F, the mesoscale environment became quite supportive of severe storms (including supercells), featuring 2000-3000 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE and 30-40 knots of deep-layer wind shear. Later in the night, Round 2 was fueled by a classic increase in convergence/moisture transport within the exit region of a 30-40 knot southwesterly low-level jet.

Overall, marginally-severe winds were the main issue, including measured gusts of 61 MPH at the Ord airport and 60 MPH at Waco, and estimated 60 MPH at Shelby, where the NWS cooperative observer reported downed tree branches up to 3 inches in diameter. Various other places clocked slightly sub-severe wind gusts of 50-55 MPH, including in or near Gothenburg, Johnson Lake, Arcadia, Gresham and Clay Center. Hail was less of an issue, with the only severe-criteria report consisting of quarter size stones in Sutton. ||Breaking down event evolution and timing, two small/separate storm clusters entered west-central and northern counties between 7-9 p.m. CDT, a continuation of activity that initiated hours earlier over the Nebraska Panhandle. These early evening storms produced strong-to-marginally severe winds mainly in Valley/Dawson/Gosper counties. Over the next few hours from 9-11:30 p.m. CDT, both of these storm clusters briefly weakened, only to re-intensify and even merge somewhat as they reached eastern portions of the area, prompting various hail/wind reports from counties such as Clay/Polk/York before exiting into eastern Nebraska. Meanwhile, back off to the southwest, a separate area of strong storms blossomed between 10 p.m. and midnight CDT in several counties along the Kansas border, but there were no ground-truth reports from this convection that departed into southeast Nebraska/northeast Kansas after midnight. Finally, one last weaker batch of storms roamed various northern/eastern counties between 1-4 a.m. CDT on Friday the 5th before all local storm activity ended for the night. Both at the surface and aloft, the same general environment that supported severe storms the prior evening remained in place for this round. In the mid-upper levels, broad west-northwest flow containing various embedded, low-amplitude disturbances persisted over the region.

While most of this activity was sub-severe, producing only small hail and/or wind gusts up to around 50 MPH, a notable exception occurred in several southwestern counties where a briefly-supercellular storm produced a flurry of severe-criteria wind gusts primarily between 8-9 p.m. CDT. These severe winds of mainly 60-70 MPH concentrated within northern Furnas, southern Gosper, northwestern Harlan and southern Phelps counties, including an intense (albeit unofficial) gust of 86 MPH clocked by a personal weather station north-northwest of Oxford. While ground-truth damage reports were limited, they included: 1) a power pole blown onto Highway 6/34 in Arapahoe along with several large tree limbs down around town...2) various reports of mainly minor damage in/near Holdrege, including: damaged power poles, a large tree down at the cemetery, and part of an irrigation pivot blown onto a rural road a few miles west of town. As this storm of the day progressed into eastern Phelps County it weakened while transitioning to more of a multicell cluster mode. However, storm intensity occasionally flared up farther east, as evidenced by estimated 55-60 MPH winds in southeast Adams County. Lightning also made the news during the evening, as a bolt from a non-severe storm in Grand Island blew out a roughly 5-by-5 foot section from the roof of a retail store, sparking a small fire. Somewhat surprisingly, there was no verified severe-criteria hail during this event, with the largest reported stones only nickel size.||Timing-wise, the first severe storms of the day in close proximity to (but slightly west of) South Central Nebraska erupted along a well-defined cold front in west-central Nebraska during the mid-afternoon. A few hours later, the first strong storm to affect the local area entered western Dawson County between 6-7 p.m. CDT, followed a bit later by the main, outflow-dominant severe cell that rapidly intensified over Gosper/northern Furnas counties. As the night wore on a few larger-scale, predominantly sub-severe storm complexes traversed much of the 30-county area, with most places eventually rain-free by 4-5 a.m. CDT on the 9th. Meteorologically, this was a fairly strongly-forced event. In the mid-upper levels, west-southwesterly flow was present, slightly downstream from a seasonably-strong, large-scale trough traversing the Northern Rockies.

For being such a widespread event (the majority of the 24 counties experienced at least limited severe weather) it was fairly quick-evolving and quick-hitting, as all local storms occurred within a 4.5-hour span between 3:30-8 p.m. CDT. Convective mode was a potent, but messy mix consisting primarily of an eastward-charging quasi-linear convective system (QLCS), but also a few briefly-discrete supercells that flared up just ahead of the QLCS (and were subsequently overtaken by it), along with at least one supercell structure embedded within the southern reaches of the QLCS. Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the four tornadoes, the first two (both with no known damage) touched down briefly in southwestern Harlan County, spawned by the first (and most isolated) supercell of the day. A short time later, another brief tornado (also no damage reported) was spotted in south central Kearney County, associated with a supercell that initiated just ahead of the approaching QLCS. The fourth tornado, though only rated EF-0, was the most noteworthy one as it developed along the far southern fringes of the QLCS in the Ruskin-Deshler area, overturning several pivots and damaging an outbuilding along a nearly five mile path. However, by far the biggest story of the day was significant straight-line wind damage. Though sporadic pockets of damage occurred in western counties, by far the most concentrated swaths focused within the following counties: Adams, Nuckolls, Thayer and especially Clay/Fillmore. This was due to a combination of the QLCS peaking in intensity over this area, along with it containing the embedded supercell. The most notable corridor of destructive winds took aim on southeastern Clay, southwestern Fillmore and northern Thayer counties. To mention just a few storm reports from this zone: at least 250 irrigation pivots toppled; several grain bins and a few outbuildings destroyed; unofficial mesonet-measured wind gusts as high as 91 MPH near Davenport and 78 MPH near Shickley. Outside of this worst-hit area (and farther north/west): a sampling of thunderstorm wind issues included: estimated 75 MPH gusts that derailed approximately 15 train cars near Shelton, estimated winds of 65-70 MPH in the Minden and Hastings areas (downed trees in Minden and a small-but-sturdy storage shed blown from behind a home into a front yard in south Hastings); measured gusts of 64 MPH as far north as Ord and 61 MPH as far west as Bertrand. Although taking a back seat to damaging winds due to being more localized, several large hail reports came in from various counties, including some very large stones to at least tennis ball size. The majority of the largest hail occurred with the first supercell of the day in Furnas County, including up to baseball size south of Holbrook and tennis ball size in Beaver City/Hollinger. However, the outright-biggest stone of the event measured 4 inches in diameter, plunging earthward several miles southwest of Minden. On the less extreme side of things, ping pong ball to golf ball size hail fell in various locations including Kearney, Minden and Alma. ||Taking a closer look at event evolution/timing, the first supercell initiated over northern Furnas County around 3:30 p.m. CDT, forming on a classic surface triple point...slightly north-northwest of strong low pressure (992 millibars) centered over north central Kansas. For a short time this storm was the only show locally, drifting slowly southeastward and dropping large hail and brief tornadoes. However, by 4:30 p.m. CDT, a north-south oriented linear system was already into Dawson/Gosper counties, driven eastward by strong convergence along an accelerating cold front. Between 5-6 p.m. CDT a few supercells/discrete multicells briefly developed over Kearney/Buffalo counties (including the one that produced the very large hail/brief tornado in Kearney County), but these storms were soon ingested by the surging QLCS. Between 6-7 p.m. CDT this complex surged across the Highway 281 corridor while a new cluster of severe convection flared up just ahead its southern edge mainly over Webster/Clay/Nuckolls counties. Finally, between 7-8 p.m. CDT, the southern portion of the QLCS (with an embedded supercell) took center stage, wreaking havoc upon the Clay/Fillmore/Thayer counties area with damaging winds before exiting the local domain into southeast Nebraska. During this same time frame, the northern portion of the QLCS (near/north of Interstate 80) prevailed weaker in nature and yielded few storm reports, but did drop quarter size hail near Shelby before exiting the coverage area. Finishing with a closer look at the meteorological situation, overall this was a prime springtime severe thunderstorm setup. In the mid-upper levels, a strong, slightly negatively-tilted shortwave trough ejected out of the Rockies and across the heart of Nebraska/northern Kansas over the course of the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the primary low pressure center drifted slowly eastward across northern Kansas, with a fairly well-defined warm front taking shape along the NE/KS border ahead of it and a sharp cold front/dryline combination surging in behind it. Despite a somewhat marginal thermodynamic environment featuring surface temperatures only in the 70s (F) and dewpoints only upper 50s-low 60s, steep mid-level lapse rates prompted healthy instability with mixed-layer CAPE peaking as high as 1500-3000 J/kg mainly along/south of the I-80 corridor. Deep-layer shear was modestly-strong (as high as 40-50 knots) and storms entered an increasingly-volatile low-level shear environment as they worked east of Highway 281, with southern portions of the QLCS encountering significant 0-1 kilometer storm relative helicity (SRH) of 200-300 m2/s2 (corresponding to the area of greatest wind damage). From a forecast perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's Day 3 Outlook (issued on the 27th) already introduced an Enhanced Risk of severe weather (level 3 of 5) for far southeast portions of South Central Nebraska. Then, on the morning of the 29th, roughly the southeast quadrant of the area was upgraded to Moderate Risk (level 4 of 5).

However, there were a couple of significant exceptions, as heavy rains caused extensive flooding in parts of Valley County and a lone severe storm with damaging winds and large hail brushed far western portions of Dawson and Furnas counties. Going into more detail, and starting with the Valley County situation, a small-but-persistent cluster of heavy showers/non-severe storms dumped a roughly 5-10 mile wide swath of heavy rain on northwestern and south central portions of the county, mainly between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. CDT. These areas received a widespread 2-4 with isolated pockets as high as 5-7, including an unofficial public report of 6.25 nine miles west-southwest of Elyria. Within a few hours after the onset of heavy rain, several rural roads were flooded/washed out, and small creeks such as Turtle Creek spilled out of their banks. An NeRAIN observer southwest of Elyria commented that Turtle Creek flooding was worse than what occurred during the historic March 2019 floods. By the evening and overnight hours, flooding also ramped up on Mira Creek south of Ord, including a bridge washout on a paved county road. During the pre-dawn hours of the 3rd, Mira Creek flooding reached the town of North Loup, prompting mainly minor water issues on the north side of town. Turning to the severe storm aspect of the day (and completely separate from the Valley County flooding), an isolated severe storm tracked almost due south over the western fringes of Dawson and Furnas counties between 6:30-9:30 p.m. CDT, affecting the Gothenburg and Cambridge areas. Near Gothenburg, a mesonet clocked a 66 MPH gust and a flag pole was bent over. A bit later, trained spotters just west of Cambridge reported hail up to golf ball size and a measured wind gust of 71 MPH, with a few power poles downed on Highway 6/34.||In the big picture of the mid-upper levels, forcing was nebulous over the Central Plains as subtle waves passed through northwesterly flow, directed around the edge of an expansive ridge centered over New Mexico.

However, the vast majority of strong to severe activity focused within a 15-30 mile wide swath centered along a line from Franklin-Blue Hill-Sutton-York. Within this corridor, there were a number of reports of large hail ranging from quarter size up to tennis ball size, with the tennis ball (2.5 inch) reports out of Harvard and Stockham. There were also several instances of ping pong ball to golf ball size stones, including in or near the following communities: Blue Hill, Sutton, Edgar and Glenvil. Finally, marginally-severe, quarter to half dollar size hail reports originated from in or near places such as: Franklin, Bladen, Clay Center, Deweese and York. Large hail was clearly the main story of the evening, as there were only a few measured strong to marginally-severe gusts of 50+ MPH, a few of which were several miles removed from obvious thunderstorm outflow and were likely associated with a weak wake low. A few of the strongest detected gusts included 58 MPH in Doniphan (unofficial mesonet) and ASOS-measured gusts of 55 and 52 MPH at Grand Island and Hastings airports, respectively. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing, if anything the intensity of storms (and peak hail size) ended up being a bit surprising given the seasonably-modest and just in time nature of low-level moisture advecting northward into the area along a slow-moving surface warm front. At daybreak on the 18th, this west-east oriented front was aligned across northern Kansas, with South Central Nebraska firmly on its cool/dry side with surface dewpoints mainly only in the 20s (F). Meanwhile, in the mid-upper levels, the Central Plains resided well downstream of a large scale trough centered over the Northern Rockies. Over the course of the day, a subtle wave along the leading edges of the aforementioned parent trough entered the Central High Plains. This prompted a gradual increase in west-southwesterly, mid-upper level flow into South Central Nebraska, along with a gradual increase in south-southeasterly low-level flow, allowing slow-but-steady northward moisture transport into the lifting warm frontal zone. By late afternoon (around the time of convective initiation), a 994 millibar surface low was noted over northwest Kansas, with the attendant warm front extending into far southern Nebraska to its east, and a north-south oriented dryline trailing southward. Although still seasonably-unimpressive, surface dewpoints over the southern half of South Central Nebraska had risen well into the mid-upper 40s by this time (a surge of nearly 20 degrees over early morning values). This meager-but-sufficient low level moisture, combined with steep low-to-mid level lapse rates and convergence near the warm front/dryline intersection, was enough to initiate the first high-based storms of the afternoon over north central Kansas around 5:30 p.m. CDT. Already by 6 p.m. CDT, the first severe-warned storm of the day within South Central Nebraska had entered southern Franklin County. During the next two hours, a series of semi-discrete, strong-to-severe cells affected primarily Franklin/Webster counties. Then, between 8-10 p.m. CDT, intense elevated convection consolidated into a more cohesive line as it tracked northeastward across portions of mainly Adams/Clay/Nuckolls/Hamilton/Fillmore counties, aided by an uptick in a 40-50 knot southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars). Finally, between 10:00-11:30 p.m. CDT, this severe storm complex traversed York County before exiting the local area into eastern Nebraska, while other non-severe cells passed through various counties mainly along/north of Highway 92 before also departing South Central Nebraska...thus ending all local thunderstorm activity for the night.

By around 2200CDT, nearly a half-dozen supercells affected portions of south central Nebraska roughly along and south of Interstate 80 (I-80) and west of Highway 281 and produced scattered instances of large to very large hail. The largest hail reported was tennis ball in Franklin County, which was associated with one of the first supercells to form in the late afternoon. After the initial round of supercells, which weakened mostly below severe limits by 2230CDT, a squall line of thunderstorms moved into far western portions of the CWA between 2230-2300CDT. The primary severe threat with this activity was damaging wind gusts of 60-65MPH. However, embedded within the squall line was a brief EF-1 tornado that impacted the Johnson Lake area around 2300. A bow echo developed within the squall line between 2300-2400CDT over Dawson County then raced northeast and affected areas north of the Platte River over the next 60-90 minutes.

The next tornado was observed several miles southwest of Tulia in Swisher County. Although this multi vortex tornado persisted for several minutes, no damage indicators were impacted, so an EFU rating was assigned to this tornado as well. The third tornado was observed about 4-5 miles northwest of Vigo Park and was the largest of the three. Similar to the other two tornadoes, no damage indicators were found by the NWS storm survey team, so a rating of EFU was assigned. Extremely strong rear flank downdraft winds were observed with this third tornado west of Vigo Park near the intersection of Farm to Market Roads 146 and 2301. A metal barn was partially destroyed and 19 wood transmission lines were snapped. Due to the slow moving nature of these storms, extremely heavy rainfall occurred in central Swisher County which brought an estimated three to six inches of rainfall over a short period of time.

A large upper level low over the western United States allowed for low level moisture to remain in the region under low level southeasterly flow.

Two general areas of convection matured into severe thunderstorms: one in the southwestern Texas Panhandle and another in the southern South Plains into the Permian Basin. Although there was no initial development in the central South Plains, this area saw the largest hail of the afternoon. Storms across the extreme southwestern Texas Panhandle generally produced hail up to ping pong ball size. At the same time, a severe thunderstorm near Post (Garza County) produced hail up to tennis ball size. The initial thunderstorms in the southern South Plains generated an outflow boundary that surged northward lifting very unstable air. Multi cellular thunderstorms developed along this outflow boundary in Lynn County but quickly moved northward into Lubbock County. One of these storms took on a anticyclonic circulation as it moved into southern Lubbock County. This storm would go on to produce a widespread swath of hail with sizes generally between hen eggs and tennis balls. The largest hailstone observed was three inches in diameter around the intersection of Quaker Ave. and 114th Street. The swath of giant hail began on the south side of the city of Lubbock (Lubbock County) and ended around Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport (Lubbock County). One of the other thunderstorms that developed on the outflow boundary also produced severe hail at the same time over the western portion of Lubbock County. This swath of hail was observed from just east of Wolfforth (Lubbock County) to Texas Tech University (Lubbock County) and consisted of hail mostly around golf ball size. Total damages in Lubbock County were estimated at $100 million due to substantial and widespread roof and vehicle damage. A thunderstorm developed along an outflow boundary in Lynn County and rapidly grew into a severe supercell thunderstorm as it moved northward toward the city of Lubbock. This storm quickly began to rotate anticyclonically as it moved into the southern portion of Lubbock County. As the storm entered the southern portion of the city of Lubbock numerous reports were initially received of hail up to baseball size. The largest hail stone reported was three inches in diameter.

The warm front continued to gradually mix north northwest into East Texas and Northcentral Louisiana by late morning and early afternoon hours, with a very warm, moist, and unstable air mass noted over Deep East Texas and portions of Northcentral Louisiana south of the front. Coupled with even stronger forcing and low level shear ahead of the approaching upper trough, additional strong to severe thunderstorms developed near and south of the front from late morning through the afternoon, producing several reports of damaging winds across portions of Northcentral Louisiana. These storms also produced locally heavy rainfall that led to instances of flash flooding, which resulted in two separate fatalities in Ouachita Parish. A 13 year old boy drowned in a drainage canal in the Bawcomville community during the heavy rains, and an 80 year old female drove past barricades on a closed road in Calhoun several hours after the heavy rains had ended, with her car becoming submerged in the flood waters. Unfortunately, she was unable to escape and drowned.

As the cells moved northeast and matured, larger hail began to fall with golf ball sized hail falling in Adams county and baseball sized hail into Adair county. Following this period of large hail the storms produced a tornado which would remain on the ground for just over 70 miles, carving a path across central Iowa from southwest of Winterset to just northeast of Newton. The tornado peaked in Winterset, Iowa, producing EF-4 damage with wind speeds estimated near 170 mph. The tornado continued across the southern portion of the Des Moines metro area and to Newton. This is the furthest north EF-4 tornado in the CONUS this early in the year on record, the first EF-4 tornado in Iowa since October 4, 2013 which occurred in Woodbury and Cherokee Counties, and is the second longest tornado in Iowa since 1980, behind the longest occurring on June 7, 1984 at a length of 117 miles across southern Iowa.

Moderate to strong instability developed across the western South Plains and eastern New Mexico Monday afternoon and evening as the improving low-level moisture and temperatures warming into the 80s developed beneath an approaching upper level storm system. Relatively strong wind shear caused several of the thunderstorms to rotate as they moved into the western South Plains and western Texas Panhandle. A cluster of thunderstorms moving northeast out of southeastern New Mexico interacted with an outflow boundary moving northwest out of the Permian Basin. This caused a storm on the southern flank of the cluster to begin to rotate and become supercellular and take a more easterly, then southeasterly track. As the storm intensified, it became cyclic in behavior and its forward speed varied from about 5 mph to 20 mph. An NWS storm survey revealed that this supercell produced nine separate tornadoes over an approximately two hour period. The tornadoes occurred over rural areas which limited the overall impacts. Spotty damage did occur including two oil pumpjacks that were toppled by the intense tornadic winds. This damage, along with snapped power poles and flipped center pivots earned a peak damage rating of EF-2. The thunderstorms eventually evolved into a larger complex that brought widespread rain to most of the South Plains, Rolling Plains, and southern Texas Panhandle. The heaviest rain was associated with the slow-moving tornadic storm and was concentrated over Bailey County, where three to as much as seven inches of rain fell.

Supercells initially developed across southwest Iowa in the vicinity of the triple point of the surface low with strong, rotating updrafts. Longevity was initially lacking with the storms, producing funnel clouds, brief tornadoes, and hail in southwest Iowa. As the cells moved northeast and matured, larger hail began to fall with golf ball sized hail falling in Adams county and baseball sized hail into Adair county. Following this period of large hail the storms produced a tornado which would remain on the ground for just over 70 miles, carving a path across central Iowa from southwest of Winterset to just northeast of Newton. The tornado peaked in Winterset, Iowa, producing EF-4 damage with wind speeds estimated near 170 mph. The tornado continued across the southern portion of the Des Moines metro area and to Newton. This is the furthest north EF-4 tornado in the CONUS this early in the year on record, the first EF-4 tornado in Iowa since October 4, 2013 which occurred in Woodbury and Cherokee Counties, and is the second longest tornado in Iowa since 1980, behind the longest occurring on June 7, 1984 at a length of 117 miles across southern Iowa. As the storm skimmed the southern Des Moines metro, cells across south central became tornadic, producing several destructive tornadoes including an EF-3 tornado in Chariton, Iowa. This heartbreaking day resulted in seven fatalities, six in Winterset and one in Chariton, making it the deadliest tornado outbreak in Iowa since 2008.

A short wave moved from southwest to northeast over the region ahead of a large upper level low off the southern California coast. Strong low level moisture was present in the region which created a very unstable atmosphere. Although convection was fairly unorganized, a few strong updrafts were able to generate very large hail. One of these thunderstorms developed over the southwestern portion of Lubbock County and tracked through Wolfforth (Lubbock County) and western portions of the city of Lubbock (Lubbock County). A swath of severe hail was reported through this track with a maximum hail size of 2.25 inches. A second severe thunderstorm tracked from the southeastern side of Childress (Childress County) northward up US Highway 83. This storm produced hail up to golf ball size.

The disturbance triggered a southeasterly wind shift across the foothills of the Blue Ridge in southern Virginia and northern North Carolina, bringing an increase of deep moisture northeast from the Piedmont of North Carolina.

Coverage and intensity of the slow-moving activity only increased as the evening progressed, with a band of showers and embedded storms forming along the Highway 58 corridor by midnight, that was advancing northeast toward the crest of the Blue Ridge. Deep moisture combined with orographic lift to produce extremely efficient rainfall rates that were, at times, ranging from 3 to 5 inches per hour across Patrick County into neighboring Carroll County. Doppler Radar estimated rainfall totals of nearly 11 inches of rainfall in northern Patrick County across the Smith River basin, which was confirmed by one CoCoRaHS report of 10.70 inches, as well as a Cooperative Observer report from Woolwine of 10.62 inches. The stream gage at the Smith River near Woolwine (SMWV2) rose to 11.04 feet, just above moderate flood stage due to this rainfall, however radar estimates put the highest amounts downstream of this gage. Few reports of flooding impacts were received, however it was noted that Philpott Reservoir rose 3 feet in response to the inflows from the Smith River. In western Patrick County and southeast Carroll County, 4 to 7 inches of rain fell across the entire headwaters of the Ararat River, with radar estimates of around 9 inches near the town of Ararat, VA.

The east winds around this low, allowed deep sub-tropical moisture from the Atlantic to move into lower Mid-Atlantic region.

Through the 28th into the early morning hours of the 29th, the upper low drifted eastward, allowing instability to increase across the central Appalachians as the associated pocket of cooler upper level temperatures approached. While Surface-based CAPE levels remained minimal during the event, Most-Unstable CAPE (MUCAPE) values were observed climbing across the mountains through the evening of the 28th into morning of the 29th, reaching into the 600 to 850 J/Kg range. Combined with orographic lift, this instability supported the development of low-topped thunderstorms with enhanced rainfall rates. As rainfall totals increased across the mountains and soils approached saturation, flash flood guidance values were lowered to under an inch at the 1- and 3-hour time periods. ||The heavy rain then led to flooding of Wolf Creek and Walker Creek.

The east winds around this low, allowed deep sub-tropical moisture from the Atlantic to move into lower Mid-Atlantic region. Areas of rain developed across the mountains by late morning, and gradually increased in coverage due to the sustained 25 to 30 knot (850mb) moisture inflow. Precipitable water values were observed in the 1.2 to 1.3 inch range through the day into the early morning hours of the 29th, which is around the 75th percentile for late May. Through the 28th into the early morning hours of the 29th, the upper low drifted eastward, allowing instability to increase across the central Appalachians as the associated pocket of cooler upper level temperatures approached. While Surface-based CAPE levels remained minimal during the event, Most-Unstable CAPE (MUCAPE) values were observed climbing across the mountains through the evening of the 28th into morning of the 29th, reaching into the 600 to 850 J/Kg range. Combined with orographic lift, this instability supported the development of low-topped thunderstorms with enhanced rainfall rates. As rainfall totals increased across the mountains and soils approached saturation, flash flood guidance values were lowered to under an inch at the 1- and 3-hour time periods. ||The heavy rain then led to flooding of Wolf Creek and Walker Creek.

Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County.

By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December. In the mid-upper levels, not only was the parent, negatively-tilted shortwave trough notably intense as it slammed across the central United States, but it was also notably fast. At daybreak, its vorticity maximum was just passing by the Four Corners, but by mid-day it had already reached the NE/CO/KS border area and by sunset had advanced into far northeast NE. At the 500-millibar level, a stout jet streak of 100+ knots nosed into South Central NE from the south-southwest during the afternoon, while lower in the column a potent southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) ramped up to 40-60 knots. At the surface, a vigorous low pressure center sliced across the heart of Nebraska from southwest-to-northeast during the afternoon, deepening to around 984 millibars along the way and driving a sharp dryline/cold frontal combo eastward through the area. As mentioned, surface dewpoints climbed into the 50s F across much of the area prior to convective initiation, fostering a corridor of mixed-layer CAPE up to 500-1000 J/kg. Although somewhat modest instability values by warmer-season standards, in this case it was more than enough to promote robust severe convection in the presence of extreme wind fields, with embedded QLCS tornadoes no surprise given 0-1 kilometer bulk shear around 40 knots and effective storm-relative helicity (SRH) around 200-300 m2/s2. In the wake of the squall line, the ensuing non-convective wind event corresponded to a zone of deep subsidence (likely associated with a sting jet) and a pronounced surface pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low, with a 16-millibar gradient noted across South Central NE at 6 p.m. (ranging from 988 mb at Columbus to 1004 mb at McCook).||Closing with some comments about official NWS forecasts leading up to this historic event, there was excellent awareness several days in advance regarding the likelihood of powerful non-convective winds both ahead of (southerlies) and behind (westerlies) the intense surface low pressure system. An area-wide High Wind Watch was issued early on the 13th (48-60 hours in advance) and was subsequently upgraded to a High Wind Warning early on the 14th. However, what was not as well anticipated (both at the local and national forecast level) was how great of a convective/tornado threat South Central NE would face, as the fast-tracking squall line ended up forming slightly earlier and several counties farther west than most model data suggested (especially 12+ hours out). As a result, there was a noticeable ramp-up of convective threat categories within South Central NE on Dec. 15th SPC Day 1 Outlooks, progressing from the initial 06Z outlook that barely brushed the far eastern fringes of the area with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5), to the 1630Z outlook that correctly shifted Slight (level 2) and Enhanced (level 3) categories westward into several counties along/east of Highway 281.

As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December. In the mid-upper levels, not only was the parent, negatively-tilted shortwave trough notably intense as it slammed across the central United States, but it was also notably fast. At daybreak, its vorticity maximum was just passing by the Four Corners, but by mid-day it had already reached the NE/CO/KS border area and by sunset had advanced into far northeast NE. At the 500-millibar level, a stout jet streak of 100+ knots nosed into South Central NE from the south-southwest during the afternoon, while lower in the column a potent southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) ramped up to 40-60 knots. At the surface, a vigorous low pressure center sliced across the heart of Nebraska from southwest-to-northeast during the afternoon, deepening to around 984 millibars along the way and driving a sharp dryline/cold frontal combo eastward through the area. As mentioned, surface dewpoints climbed into the 50s F across much of the area prior to convective initiation, fostering a corridor of mixed-layer CAPE up to 500-1000 J/kg. Although somewhat modest instability values by warmer-season standards, in this case it was more than enough to promote robust severe convection in the presence of extreme wind fields, with embedded QLCS tornadoes no surprise given 0-1 kilometer bulk shear around 40 knots and effective storm-relative helicity (SRH) around 200-300 m2/s2. In the wake of the squall line, the ensuing non-convective wind event corresponded to a zone of deep subsidence (likely associated with a sting jet) and a pronounced surface pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low, with a 16-millibar gradient noted across South Central NE at 6 p.m. (ranging from 988 mb at Columbus to 1004 mb at McCook).||Closing with some comments about official NWS forecasts leading up to this historic event, there was excellent awareness several days in advance regarding the likelihood of powerful non-convective winds both ahead of (southerlies) and behind (westerlies) the intense surface low pressure system. An area-wide High Wind Watch was issued early on the 13th (48-60 hours in advance) and was subsequently upgraded to a High Wind Warning early on the 14th. However, what was not as well anticipated (both at the local and national forecast level) was how great of a convective/tornado threat South Central NE would face, as the fast-tracking squall line ended up forming slightly earlier and several counties farther west than most model data suggested (especially 12+ hours out). As a result, there was a noticeable ramp-up of convective threat categories within South Central NE on Dec. 15th SPC Day 1 Outlooks, progressing from the initial 06Z outlook that barely brushed the far eastern fringes of the area with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5), to the 1630Z outlook that correctly shifted Slight (level 2) and Enhanced (level 3) categories westward into several counties along/east of Highway 281.

Including nine confirmed tornadoes in South Central Nebraska (and 19 others that occurred in eastern NE), there were 28 confirmed tornadoes within the state...a remarkable fact considering that prior to this day only five Nebraska tornadoes had occurred in December since 1950! Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, despite countless instances of damage primarily to irrigation pivots, outbuildings, power lines/poles and trees. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing for the local area, first of all, even before convection flared up it was already an unusual/noteworthy December weather day given unseasonable warmth/humidity being pumped into the area on strong south winds. By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December. In the mid-upper levels, not only was the parent, negatively-tilted shortwave trough notably intense as it slammed across the central United States, but it was also notably fast. At daybreak, its vorticity maximum was just passing by the Four Corners, but by mid-day it had already reached the NE/CO/KS border area and by sunset had advanced into far northeast NE. At the 500-millibar level, a stout jet streak of 100+ knots nosed into South Central NE from the south-southwest during the afternoon, while lower in the column a potent southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) ramped up to 40-60 knots. At the surface, a vigorous low pressure center sliced across the heart of Nebraska from southwest-to-northeast during the afternoon, deepening to around 984 millibars along the way and driving a sharp dryline/cold frontal combo eastward through the area. As mentioned, surface dewpoints climbed into the 50s F across much of the area prior to convective initiation, fostering a corridor of mixed-layer CAPE up to 500-1000 J/kg. Although somewhat modest instability values by warmer-season standards, in this case it was more than enough to promote robust severe convection in the presence of extreme wind fields, with embedded QLCS tornadoes no surprise given 0-1 kilometer bulk shear around 40 knots and effective storm-relative helicity (SRH) around 200-300 m2/s2. In the wake of the squall line, the ensuing non-convective wind event corresponded to a zone of deep subsidence (likely associated with a sting jet) and a pronounced surface pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low, with a 16-millibar gradient noted across South Central NE at 6 p.m. (ranging from 988 mb at Columbus to 1004 mb at McCook).||Closing with some comments about official NWS forecasts leading up to this historic event, there was excellent awareness several days in advance regarding the likelihood of powerful non-convective winds both ahead of (southerlies) and behind (westerlies) the intense surface low pressure system. An area-wide High Wind Watch was issued early on the 13th (48-60 hours in advance) and was subsequently upgraded to a High Wind Warning early on the 14th. However, what was not as well anticipated (both at the local and national forecast level) was how great of a convective/tornado threat South Central NE would face, as the fast-tracking squall line ended up forming slightly earlier and several counties farther west than most model data suggested (especially 12+ hours out). As a result, there was a noticeable ramp-up of convective threat categories within South Central NE on Dec. 15th SPC Day 1 Outlooks, progressing from the initial 06Z outlook that barely brushed the far eastern fringes of the area with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5), to the 1630Z outlook that correctly shifted Slight (level 2) and Enhanced (level 3) categories westward into several counties along/east of Highway 281.

In fact, the nearly continuous swath of damaging winds that stretched from south central NE/north central KS northeastward into southeast MN/western WI was officially declared a serial derecho...the first December derecho on record in the United States. Including nine confirmed tornadoes in South Central Nebraska (and 19 others that occurred in eastern NE), there were 28 confirmed tornadoes within the state...a remarkable fact considering that prior to this day only five Nebraska tornadoes had occurred in December since 1950! Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, despite countless instances of damage primarily to irrigation pivots, outbuildings, power lines/poles and trees. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing for the local area, first of all, even before convection flared up it was already an unusual/noteworthy December weather day given unseasonable warmth/humidity being pumped into the area on strong south winds. By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December. In the mid-upper levels, not only was the parent, negatively-tilted shortwave trough notably intense as it slammed across the central United States, but it was also notably fast. At daybreak, its vorticity maximum was just passing by the Four Corners, but by mid-day it had already reached the NE/CO/KS border area and by sunset had advanced into far northeast NE. At the 500-millibar level, a stout jet streak of 100+ knots nosed into South Central NE from the south-southwest during the afternoon, while lower in the column a potent southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) ramped up to 40-60 knots. At the surface, a vigorous low pressure center sliced across the heart of Nebraska from southwest-to-northeast during the afternoon, deepening to around 984 millibars along the way and driving a sharp dryline/cold frontal combo eastward through the area. As mentioned, surface dewpoints climbed into the 50s F across much of the area prior to convective initiation, fostering a corridor of mixed-layer CAPE up to 500-1000 J/kg. Although somewhat modest instability values by warmer-season standards, in this case it was more than enough to promote robust severe convection in the presence of extreme wind fields, with embedded QLCS tornadoes no surprise given 0-1 kilometer bulk shear around 40 knots and effective storm-relative helicity (SRH) around 200-300 m2/s2. In the wake of the squall line, the ensuing non-convective wind event corresponded to a zone of deep subsidence (likely associated with a sting jet) and a pronounced surface pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low, with a 16-millibar gradient noted across South Central NE at 6 p.m. (ranging from 988 mb at Columbus to 1004 mb at McCook).||Closing with some comments about official NWS forecasts leading up to this historic event, there was excellent awareness several days in advance regarding the likelihood of powerful non-convective winds both ahead of (southerlies) and behind (westerlies) the intense surface low pressure system. An area-wide High Wind Watch was issued early on the 13th (48-60 hours in advance) and was subsequently upgraded to a High Wind Warning early on the 14th. However, what was not as well anticipated (both at the local and national forecast level) was how great of a convective/tornado threat South Central NE would face, as the fast-tracking squall line ended up forming slightly earlier and several counties farther west than most model data suggested (especially 12+ hours out). As a result, there was a noticeable ramp-up of convective threat categories within South Central NE on Dec. 15th SPC Day 1 Outlooks, progressing from the initial 06Z outlook that barely brushed the far eastern fringes of the area with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5), to the 1630Z outlook that correctly shifted Slight (level 2) and Enhanced (level 3) categories westward into several counties along/east of Highway 281.

Although somewhat modest instability values by warmer-season standards, in this case it was more than enough to promote robust severe convection in the presence of extreme wind fields, with embedded QLCS tornadoes no surprise given 0-1 kilometer bulk shear around 40 knots and effective storm-relative helicity (SRH) around 200-300 m2/s2. In the wake of the squall line, the ensuing non-convective wind event corresponded to a zone of deep subsidence (likely associated with a sting jet) and a pronounced surface pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low, with a 16-millibar gradient noted across South Central NE at 6 p.m. (ranging from 988 mb at Columbus to 1004 mb at McCook).||Closing with some comments about official NWS forecasts leading up to this historic event, there was excellent awareness several days in advance regarding the likelihood of powerful non-convective winds both ahead of (southerlies) and behind (westerlies) the intense surface low pressure system. An area-wide High Wind Watch was issued early on the 13th (48-60 hours in advance) and was subsequently upgraded to a High Wind Warning early on the 14th. However, what was not as well anticipated (both at the local and national forecast level) was how great of a convective/tornado threat South Central NE would face, as the fast-tracking squall line ended up forming slightly earlier and several counties farther west than most model data suggested (especially 12+ hours out). As a result, there was a noticeable ramp-up of convective threat categories within South Central NE on Dec. 15th SPC Day 1 Outlooks, progressing from the initial 06Z outlook that barely brushed the far eastern fringes of the area with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5), to the 1630Z outlook that correctly shifted Slight (level 2) and Enhanced (level 3) categories westward into several counties along/east of Highway 281.

In fact, the nearly continuous swath of damaging winds that stretched from south central NE/north central KS northeastward into southeast MN/western WI was officially declared a serial derecho...the first December derecho on record in the United States. Including nine confirmed tornadoes in South Central Nebraska (and 19 others that occurred in eastern NE), there were 28 confirmed tornadoes within the state...a remarkable fact considering that prior to this day only five Nebraska tornadoes had occurred in December since 1950! Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, despite countless instances of damage primarily to irrigation pivots, outbuildings, power lines/poles and trees. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing for the local area, first of all, even before convection flared up it was already an unusual/noteworthy December weather day given unseasonable warmth/humidity being pumped into the area on strong south winds. By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December. In the mid-upper levels, not only was the parent, negatively-tilted shortwave trough notably intense as it slammed across the central United States, but it was also notably fast. At daybreak, its vorticity maximum was just passing by the Four Corners, but by mid-day it had already reached the NE/CO/KS border area and by sunset had advanced into far northeast NE. At the 500-millibar level, a stout jet streak of 100+ knots nosed into South Central NE from the south-southwest during the afternoon, while lower in the column a potent southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) ramped up to 40-60 knots.

In the wake of the squall line, the ensuing non-convective wind event corresponded to a zone of deep subsidence (likely associated with a sting jet) and a pronounced surface pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low, with a 16-millibar gradient noted across South Central NE at 6 p.m. (ranging from 988 mb at Columbus to 1004 mb at McCook).||Closing with some comments about official NWS forecasts leading up to this historic event, there was excellent awareness several days in advance regarding the likelihood of powerful non-convective winds both ahead of (southerlies) and behind (westerlies) the intense surface low pressure system.

However, what was not as well anticipated (both at the local and national forecast level) was how great of a convective/tornado threat South Central NE would face, as the fast-tracking squall line ended up forming slightly earlier and several counties farther west than most model data suggested (especially 12+ hours out). As a result, there was a noticeable ramp-up of convective threat categories within South Central NE on Dec. 15th SPC Day 1 Outlooks, progressing from the initial 06Z outlook that barely brushed the far eastern fringes of the area with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5), to the 1630Z outlook that correctly shifted Slight (level 2) and Enhanced (level 3) categories westward into several counties along/east of Highway 281.

In fact, the nearly continuous swath of damaging winds that stretched from south central NE/north central KS northeastward into southeast MN/western WI was officially declared a serial derecho...the first December derecho on record in the United States. Including nine confirmed tornadoes in South Central Nebraska (and 19 others that occurred in eastern NE), there were 28 confirmed tornadoes within the state...a remarkable fact considering that prior to this day only five Nebraska tornadoes had occurred in December since 1950! Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, despite countless instances of damage primarily to irrigation pivots, outbuildings, power lines/poles and trees. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing for the local area, first of all, even before convection flared up it was already an unusual/noteworthy December weather day given unseasonable warmth/humidity being pumped into the area on strong south winds. By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December. In the mid-upper levels, not only was the parent, negatively-tilted shortwave trough notably intense as it slammed across the central United States, but it was also notably fast. At daybreak, its vorticity maximum was just passing by the Four Corners, but by mid-day it had already reached the NE/CO/KS border area and by sunset had advanced into far northeast NE. At the 500-millibar level, a stout jet streak of 100+ knots nosed into South Central NE from the south-southwest during the afternoon, while lower in the column a potent southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) ramped up to 40-60 knots. At the surface, a vigorous low pressure center sliced across the heart of Nebraska from southwest-to-northeast during the afternoon, deepening to around 984 millibars along the way and driving a sharp dryline/cold frontal combo eastward through the area.

In the wake of the squall line, the ensuing non-convective wind event corresponded to a zone of deep subsidence (likely associated with a sting jet) and a pronounced surface pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low, with a 16-millibar gradient noted across South Central NE at 6 p.m. (ranging from 988 mb at Columbus to 1004 mb at McCook).||Closing with some comments about official NWS forecasts leading up to this historic event, there was excellent awareness several days in advance regarding the likelihood of powerful non-convective winds both ahead of (southerlies) and behind (westerlies) the intense surface low pressure system.

As a result, there was a noticeable ramp-up of convective threat categories within South Central NE on Dec. 15th SPC Day 1 Outlooks, progressing from the initial 06Z outlook that barely brushed the far eastern fringes of the area with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5), to the 1630Z outlook that correctly shifted Slight (level 2) and Enhanced (level 3) categories westward into several counties along/east of Highway 281.

In fact, the nearly continuous swath of damaging winds that stretched from south central NE/north central KS northeastward into southeast MN/western WI was officially declared a serial derecho...the first December derecho on record in the United States. Including nine confirmed tornadoes in South Central Nebraska (and 19 others that occurred in eastern NE), there were 28 confirmed tornadoes within the state...a remarkable fact considering that prior to this day only five Nebraska tornadoes had occurred in December since 1950! Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, despite countless instances of damage primarily to irrigation pivots, outbuildings, power lines/poles and trees. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing for the local area, first of all, even before convection flared up it was already an unusual/noteworthy December weather day given unseasonable warmth/humidity being pumped into the area on strong south winds. By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December. In the mid-upper levels, not only was the parent, negatively-tilted shortwave trough notably intense as it slammed across the central United States, but it was also notably fast. At daybreak, its vorticity maximum was just passing by the Four Corners, but by mid-day it had already reached the NE/CO/KS border area and by sunset had advanced into far northeast NE. At the 500-millibar level, a stout jet streak of 100+ knots nosed into South Central NE from the south-southwest during the afternoon, while lower in the column a potent southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) ramped up to 40-60 knots. At the surface, a vigorous low pressure center sliced across the heart of Nebraska from southwest-to-northeast during the afternoon, deepening to around 984 millibars along the way and driving a sharp dryline/cold frontal combo eastward through the area.

In the wake of the squall line, the ensuing non-convective wind event corresponded to a zone of deep subsidence (likely associated with a sting jet) and a pronounced surface pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low, with a 16-millibar gradient noted across South Central NE at 6 p.m. (ranging from 988 mb at Columbus to 1004 mb at McCook).||Closing with some comments about official NWS forecasts leading up to this historic event, there was excellent awareness several days in advance regarding the likelihood of powerful non-convective winds both ahead of (southerlies) and behind (westerlies) the intense surface low pressure system.

As a result, there was a noticeable ramp-up of convective threat categories within South Central NE on Dec. 15th SPC Day 1 Outlooks, progressing from the initial 06Z outlook that barely brushed the far eastern fringes of the area with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5), to the 1630Z outlook that correctly shifted Slight (level 2) and Enhanced (level 3) categories westward into several counties along/east of Highway 281.

In fact, the nearly continuous swath of damaging winds that stretched from south central NE/north central KS northeastward into southeast MN/western WI was officially declared a serial derecho...the first December derecho on record in the United States. Including nine confirmed tornadoes in South Central Nebraska (and 19 others that occurred in eastern NE), there were 28 confirmed tornadoes within the state...a remarkable fact considering that prior to this day only five Nebraska tornadoes had occurred in December since 1950! Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, despite countless instances of damage primarily to irrigation pivots, outbuildings, power lines/poles and trees. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing for the local area, first of all, even before convection flared up it was already an unusual/noteworthy December weather day given unseasonable warmth/humidity being pumped into the area on strong south winds. By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December. In the mid-upper levels, not only was the parent, negatively-tilted shortwave trough notably intense as it slammed across the central United States, but it was also notably fast. At daybreak, its vorticity maximum was just passing by the Four Corners, but by mid-day it had already reached the NE/CO/KS border area and by sunset had advanced into far northeast NE. At the 500-millibar level, a stout jet streak of 100+ knots nosed into South Central NE from the south-southwest during the afternoon, while lower in the column a potent southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) ramped up to 40-60 knots. At the surface, a vigorous low pressure center sliced across the heart of Nebraska from southwest-to-northeast during the afternoon, deepening to around 984 millibars along the way and driving a sharp dryline/cold frontal combo eastward through the area.

In the wake of the squall line, the ensuing non-convective wind event corresponded to a zone of deep subsidence (likely associated with a sting jet) and a pronounced surface pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low, with a 16-millibar gradient noted across South Central NE at 6 p.m. (ranging from 988 mb at Columbus to 1004 mb at McCook).||Closing with some comments about official NWS forecasts leading up to this historic event, there was excellent awareness several days in advance regarding the likelihood of powerful non-convective winds both ahead of (southerlies) and behind (westerlies) the intense surface low pressure system.

However, what was not as well anticipated (both at the local and national forecast level) was how great of a convective/tornado threat South Central NE would face, as the fast-tracking squall line ended up forming slightly earlier and several counties farther west than most model data suggested (especially 12+ hours out). As a result, there was a noticeable ramp-up of convective threat categories within South Central NE on Dec. 15th SPC Day 1 Outlooks, progressing from the initial 06Z outlook that barely brushed the far eastern fringes of the area with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5), to the 1630Z outlook that correctly shifted Slight (level 2) and Enhanced (level 3) categories westward into several counties along/east of Highway 281.

In fact, the nearly continuous swath of damaging winds that stretched from south central NE/north central KS northeastward into southeast MN/western WI was officially declared a serial derecho...the first December derecho on record in the United States. Including nine confirmed tornadoes in South Central Nebraska (and 19 others that occurred in eastern NE), there were 28 confirmed tornadoes within the state...a remarkable fact considering that prior to this day only five Nebraska tornadoes had occurred in December since 1950! Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, despite countless instances of damage primarily to irrigation pivots, outbuildings, power lines/poles and trees. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing for the local area, first of all, even before convection flared up it was already an unusual/noteworthy December weather day given unseasonable warmth/humidity being pumped into the area on strong south winds. By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December. In the mid-upper levels, not only was the parent, negatively-tilted shortwave trough notably intense as it slammed across the central United States, but it was also notably fast. At daybreak, its vorticity maximum was just passing by the Four Corners, but by mid-day it had already reached the NE/CO/KS border area and by sunset had advanced into far northeast NE. At the 500-millibar level, a stout jet streak of 100+ knots nosed into South Central NE from the south-southwest during the afternoon, while lower in the column a potent southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) ramped up to 40-60 knots. At the surface, a vigorous low pressure center sliced across the heart of Nebraska from southwest-to-northeast during the afternoon, deepening to around 984 millibars along the way and driving a sharp dryline/cold frontal combo eastward through the area.

In the wake of the squall line, the ensuing non-convective wind event corresponded to a zone of deep subsidence (likely associated with a sting jet) and a pronounced surface pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low, with a 16-millibar gradient noted across South Central NE at 6 p.m. (ranging from 988 mb at Columbus to 1004 mb at McCook).||Closing with some comments about official NWS forecasts leading up to this historic event, there was excellent awareness several days in advance regarding the likelihood of powerful non-convective winds both ahead of (southerlies) and behind (westerlies) the intense surface low pressure system.

As a result, there was a noticeable ramp-up of convective threat categories within South Central NE on Dec. 15th SPC Day 1 Outlooks, progressing from the initial 06Z outlook that barely brushed the far eastern fringes of the area with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5), to the 1630Z outlook that correctly shifted Slight (level 2) and Enhanced (level 3) categories westward into several counties along/east of Highway 281.

In fact, the nearly continuous swath of damaging winds that stretched from south central NE/north central KS northeastward into southeast MN/western WI was officially declared a serial derecho...the first December derecho on record in the United States. Including nine confirmed tornadoes in South Central Nebraska (and 19 others that occurred in eastern NE), there were 28 confirmed tornadoes within the state...a remarkable fact considering that prior to this day only five Nebraska tornadoes had occurred in December since 1950! Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, despite countless instances of damage primarily to irrigation pivots, outbuildings, power lines/poles and trees. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing for the local area, first of all, even before convection flared up it was already an unusual/noteworthy December weather day given unseasonable warmth/humidity being pumped into the area on strong south winds. By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December. In the mid-upper levels, not only was the parent, negatively-tilted shortwave trough notably intense as it slammed across the central United States, but it was also notably fast. At daybreak, its vorticity maximum was just passing by the Four Corners, but by mid-day it had already reached the NE/CO/KS border area and by sunset had advanced into far northeast NE. At the 500-millibar level, a stout jet streak of 100+ knots nosed into South Central NE from the south-southwest during the afternoon, while lower in the column a potent southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) ramped up to 40-60 knots. At the surface, a vigorous low pressure center sliced across the heart of Nebraska from southwest-to-northeast during the afternoon, deepening to around 984 millibars along the way and driving a sharp dryline/cold frontal combo eastward through the area.

The primary/longest corridor of severe weather primarily impacted the the following local counties: southern/western Sherman, northern/eastern Buffalo, southern/western Hall, northern/eastern Adams (including Hastings), southern/western Clay and much of Nuckolls/Thayer. The other notable (but shorter-in-length) swath of storm damage wrought havoc across parts of eastern Hamilton, southern/western York and northern Fillmore counties. Within each of these corridors, there were numerous reports of severe winds and/or large hail (some at least 2-3 inch diameter), causing countless instances of damage such as: broken windows in homes and vehicles, significant damage to siding/roofs, innumerable flipped irrigation pivots, and the destruction of many thousands of acres of young crops. In addition to the considerable hail/damaging winds that impacted several counties, one QLCS tornado was also confirmed in Nuckolls/Thayer counties (rated EF-0). This event marked the fourth-consecutive day of severe storms within the 24-county area, and was the overall most significant round of all. Duration-wise, this event was actually fairly quick-hitting, with all South Central Nebraska severe storms unfolding during a 3.5 hour span between 7:00-10:30 p.m. CDT...starting off in northern counties and eventually exiting far south-southeast counties. ||Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the QLCS EF-0 tornado, it was determined to have tracked for nearly 10 miles through southeastern Nuckolls/southwestern Thayer counties shortly before 10 p.m. CDT, causing tree damage in Ruskin and then destroying/damaging several grain bins, irrigation pivots and a few outbuildings before lifting north of Byron. However, by far the biggest impacts of the evening resulted from large hail/damaging winds. Within the aforementioned longer corridor of damage extending along a line from Sherman through Nuckolls/Thayer counties, a sampling of some of the more noteworthy reports included: 2.5-3.5 diameter hail and 70 MPH winds in the Litchfield and Hazard areas (considerable window/siding damage); hail stones 2-4 diameter through the Ravenna/Pleasanton areas (considerable window/siding damage including shattered windows on a few fire trucks); combo of hail 1.75-2.50 diameter and measured 66 MPH winds in Hastings (considerable window/siding damage especially on north/west sides of the city); widespread 60-70 MPH winds through southern/western Clay County with over a dozen toppled irrigation pivots; wood frame outbuilding destroyed and a semi truck overturned near Hebron. Within the shorter swath of concentrated damage that tore through Hamilton/York/Fillmore counties, various reports included: a semi truck blown over on Interstate 80 and areas of complete crop destruction and many overturned irrigation pivots due to a combo of 60-70 MPH winds and hail up to 2 diameter (particularly in the Hampton, Henderson and McCool Junction areas). While these two main swaths accounted for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska storm reports during the evening, there were also a few more isolated pockets of severe weather well-removed from both of them. These included a mesonet-measured 64 MPH wind gust near Lexington and also a handful of reports associated with a supercell that barely skirted the northeast fringes of the local area (including golf ball size hail near Genoa and a measured 65 MPH gust near Shelby (with pivots reported overturned). ||Examining event evolution/timing, the first scattered storms of the evening (initially non-severe) formed between 6-7 p.m. CDT along a west-east oriented band across far northern local counties. Then, the action really ramped up/intensified during the next hour as: 1) a long-lived supercell that developed several hours prior in the northern NE Panhandle entered the local area into Sherman County (the beginning stages of the primary swath of severe weather)...2) a new intense supercell flared up over central/eastern Hamilton County (along the southern fringes of the initial weak northern activity)...3) another comparably shorter-lived supercell developed out of the eastern fringes of the northern storms and clipped the northeast fringes of the local area in Nance/Merrick/Polk counties. Between 8-10 p.m. CDT, the two primary South Central Nebraska supercells continued east-southeast, with the eastern one exiting the local area out of York/Fillmore counties, while the western one gradually merged with a developing convective line that extended off to its west-southwest. Shortly after this powerful storm tore through eastern Adams/western Clay counties, a gradual storm mode transition from semi-discrete supercell to small-scale severe QLCS was complete, leading to a reduced large hail threat but a continued threat of damaging winds (along with the aforementioned tornado). Finally, between 10-11 p.m. CDT the main QLCS segment over Thayer County, along with weaker linear storms trailing westward along the Nebraska-Kansas border, completely exited South Central Nebraska to the south-southeast, ending a very active 3-4 hours. Wrapping up with a closer look at the meteorological setup, this event was the grand finale to a multiple-day stretch of at least spotty severe storms within South Central Nebraska. But compared to prior days, forcing was stronger both aloft and at the surface, leading to an overall-more impactful event. In the mid-upper levels, west-northwest flow prevailed, featuring a fairly potent (albeit low amplitude) shortwave trough zipping eastward across northern NE/southern SD during the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the day began with an initially weakly-defined, west-east oriented front draped across southern portions of the local area. But during the evening, this boundary sharpened up and made a more pronounced southward surge into Kansas in response to a combination of pressure rises driven by the aforementioned upper wave and also convective outflow. Although quite a bit of daytime cloud cover helped hold afternoon temperatures across most of South Central Nebraska down in the mid-upper 70s (F) and low level moisture levels were only only seasonably-modest (dewpoints low-mid 60s F), an impressive combination of strong deep layer wind shear of at least 50-60 knots and mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg clearly supported higher-end severe weather. From a forecast/messaging perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's second Day 2 Outlook (issued on the 6th) upgraded most of South Central Nebraska to an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5), with this Enhanced category then maintained throughout the subsequent Day 1 cycle.

In fact, some locations (Hastings and York to name a few) actually endured three to four SEPARATE severe storms over a span of 2-4 hours! With only limited exception, the vast majority of storm reports emanated from a 10-20 mile wide stripe centered roughly along a line from Elwood-Kearney-Doniphan-York.

In addition, an EF-2 tornado was confirmed in southwest York County. Also of note was that some very unlucky locales experienced nearly a repeat performance of what just unfolded seven evenings prior...struck by another round of large hail/damaging winds only days after starting to recover from the first event on the 7th. Although this overlapping damage was somewhat evident over northeastern Adams County, it was particularly visible within the southwestern quadrant of York County, where many fields were mostly stripped bare for miles around...creating a visually striking/eerie contrast to what is typically a sea of green under the mid-June sun. ||Taking a deeper dive into storm reports and starting with the EF-2 tornado, storm surveys concluded that it tracked just over seven miles through southwestern York County shortly after midnight CDT, developing west-southwest of Lushton and lifting west of McCool Junction. Along the way, several farmsteads sustained damage (including a garage torn from a home and a wood frame outbuilding completely demolished) and two people sustained minor injuries. Interestingly, an unofficial mesonet station in or very near the tornado path actually measured a 90 MPH gust a few miles east-northeast of Lushton. Turning to the many known (and countless unknown) occurrences of large hail/damaging straight line winds within the primary convective swath, a few of the more noteworthy wind damage/speed reports included: estimated 105 MPH winds in the Waco area that toppled a 60 ft. concrete silo; estimated 95 MPH winds through parts of northeastern Clay County that crumpled a grain bin near Saronville; widespread tree and sporadic structural damage in McCool Junction; separate measured wind gusts of 75 and 65 MPH at Hastings airport (from different storms 45 minutes apart); an unofficial mesonet gust of 79 MPH near Norman. Meanwhile, a few of the most notable hail reports featured: stones up to tennis ball size in York and Trumbull; hail up to 2.25 diameter at the NWS Hastings office that significantly dented the vehicles of on-duty meteorologists working this event; various reports of ping pong ball to golf ball size hail in or near Waco, Riverdale, Lushton, Bertrand, Kearney and seven miles south of Elwood. Rainfall-wise, despite the passage of several storms over the same areas, progressive storm motions mitigated the threat of significant flooding by limiting most totals to no more than 1-2 (highest NeRAIN amount of 2.67 on the east side of York). Although the vast majority of hail/wind reports were tied to the aforementioned west-east corridor bisecting the heart of the area, two severe storms occurred well outside of this zone...one to the south/one to the north. The southern one was a discrete supercell that lumbered through parts of Webster/Nuckolls/Thayer counties but yielded only one report of quarter size hail in Nelson. Meanwhile, the northern-most severe storm was the left-split of a supercell that first developed southwest of Kearney, dropping 1.5-2 diameter hail in the Pleasanton and Loup City areas before weakening. ||Examining event evolution/meteorological background, the first weak convection of the evening within South Central Nebraska bubbled up in the Hastings area shortly before sunset, forming slightly north of a well-defined, southwest-northeast oriented quasi-stationary front stretched from west-central KS through southeast NE (storms that developed directly along this front earlier in the evening remained just southeast of the local area). Between 9-10 p.m. CDT two supercells quickly evolved out of the initial weak activity, one that pounded York with its first round of large hail and drilled the eastern part of the county with significant wind damage, and the other the aforementioned southern supercell that developed over Webster County. Between 10-11 p.m. CDT, these first severe storms either departed the local area into eastern Nebraska (the northern one) or weakened/dissipated (the southern one). However, not far to the west the primary supercell train was just getting warmed up as several severe storms rapidly blossomed along the Highway 6/Interstate 80 corridors within the western half of South Central Nebraska. This slightly-elevated activity developed in response to intensifying nocturnal convergence into a sharpening frontal zone very evident in the 850-700 millibar layer. Given that this low-mid level front was aligned nearly parallel to strong west-southwesterly upper level winds (attendant to a large scale trough centered over the Northern Rockies) and that the mesoscale environment featured a potent combination of very strong deep layer shear (50-70 knots) and decent most-unstable CAPE (1000-2000 J/kg), the stage was set for a somewhat rare episode of several supercells training along the same corridor in close succession. In fact, between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. CDT, at least 3-5 severe-warned storms marched in tandem along this path, each core spaced out roughly 25 miles from the next. During this three-hour span, places such as Hastings and York endured three separate severe storms (bringing York up to FOUR direct hits...including the initial supercell of the night). While most of these cells remained just elevated enough to preclude a tornado threat, the first storm in the supercell train managed to spawn the EF-2 in southwestern York County...apparently tapping into JUST enough lower-level moisture/instability in the vicinity of the nearby surface front to become tornadic. Finally, between 2:00-3:30 a.m. CDT, the last two training supercells of the night passed through Hamilton, Polk and northern York counties before departing the local area, bringing an end to this unique and (in places) destructive event. Peak wind gusts estimated to be around 95 MPH caused widespread damage along and near this path. Numerous power poles were damaged, including several that were snapped. Tree damage was reported, and several irrigation pivots were overturned. Outbuilding damage occurred, and a grain bin just west of Saronville was shifted off its foundation and crumpled. A shed was overturned north of Sutton.", "ts_dict_index": [7698, 7699, 7700]} +{"event_id": 1035651, "event_type": "Thunderstorm Wind", "state": "NEBRASKA", "cz_name": "CLAY", "begin_date_time": "2022-06-07 20:19:00", "end_date_time": "2022-06-07 20:19:00", "narrative": "While nearly all of South Central Nebraska experienced thunderstorms on this Tuesday evening, the majority of severe storms (significantly severe in places) concentrated within two distinct, northwest-southeast swaths mainly no more than 10-20 miles across...both associated with discrete supercells (one of which eventually morphed into more of a quasi-linear convective system/QLCS). The primary/longest corridor of severe weather primarily impacted the the following local counties: southern/western Sherman, northern/eastern Buffalo, southern/western Hall, northern/eastern Adams (including Hastings), southern/western Clay and much of Nuckolls/Thayer. The other notable (but shorter-in-length) swath of storm damage wrought havoc across parts of eastern Hamilton, southern/western York and northern Fillmore counties. Within each of these corridors, there were numerous reports of severe winds and/or large hail (some at least 2-3 inch diameter), causing countless instances of damage such as: broken windows in homes and vehicles, significant damage to siding/roofs, innumerable flipped irrigation pivots, and the destruction of many thousands of acres of young crops. In addition to the considerable hail/damaging winds that impacted several counties, one QLCS tornado was also confirmed in Nuckolls/Thayer counties (rated EF-0). This event marked the fourth-consecutive day of severe storms within the 24-county area, and was the overall most significant round of all. Duration-wise, this event was actually fairly quick-hitting, with all South Central Nebraska severe storms unfolding during a 3.5 hour span between 7:00-10:30 p.m. CDT...starting off in northern counties and eventually exiting far south-southeast counties. ||Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the QLCS EF-0 tornado, it was determined to have tracked for nearly 10 miles through southeastern Nuckolls/southwestern Thayer counties shortly before 10 p.m. CDT, causing tree damage in Ruskin and then destroying/damaging several grain bins, irrigation pivots and a few outbuildings before lifting north of Byron. However, by far the biggest impacts of the evening resulted from large hail/damaging winds. Within the aforementioned longer corridor of damage extending along a line from Sherman through Nuckolls/Thayer counties, a sampling of some of the more noteworthy reports included: 2.5-3.5 diameter hail and 70 MPH winds in the Litchfield and Hazard areas (considerable window/siding damage); hail stones 2-4 diameter through the Ravenna/Pleasanton areas (considerable window/siding damage including shattered windows on a few fire trucks); combo of hail 1.75-2.50 diameter and measured 66 MPH winds in Hastings (considerable window/siding damage especially on north/west sides of the city); widespread 60-70 MPH winds through southern/western Clay County with over a dozen toppled irrigation pivots; wood frame outbuilding destroyed and a semi truck overturned near Hebron. Within the shorter swath of concentrated damage that tore through Hamilton/York/Fillmore counties, various reports included: a semi truck blown over on Interstate 80 and areas of complete crop destruction and many overturned irrigation pivots due to a combo of 60-70 MPH winds and hail up to 2 diameter (particularly in the Hampton, Henderson and McCool Junction areas). While these two main swaths accounted for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska storm reports during the evening, there were also a few more isolated pockets of severe weather well-removed from both of them. These included a mesonet-measured 64 MPH wind gust near Lexington and also a handful of reports associated with a supercell that barely skirted the northeast fringes of the local area (including golf ball size hail near Genoa and a measured 65 MPH gust near Shelby (with pivots reported overturned). ||Examining event evolution/timing, the first scattered storms of the evening (initially non-severe) formed between 6-7 p.m. CDT along a west-east oriented band across far northern local counties. Then, the action really ramped up/intensified during the next hour as: 1) a long-lived supercell that developed several hours prior in the northern NE Panhandle entered the local area into Sherman County (the beginning stages of the primary swath of severe weather)...2) a new intense supercell flared up over central/eastern Hamilton County (along the southern fringes of the initial weak northern activity)...3) another comparably shorter-lived supercell developed out of the eastern fringes of the northern storms and clipped the northeast fringes of the local area in Nance/Merrick/Polk counties. Between 8-10 p.m. CDT, the two primary South Central Nebraska supercells continued east-southeast, with the eastern one exiting the local area out of York/Fillmore counties, while the western one gradually merged with a developing convective line that extended off to its west-southwest. Shortly after this powerful storm tore through eastern Adams/western Clay counties, a gradual storm mode transition from semi-discrete supercell to small-scale severe QLCS was complete, leading to a reduced large hail threat but a continued threat of damaging winds (along with the aforementioned tornado). Finally, between 10-11 p.m. CDT the main QLCS segment over Thayer County, along with weaker linear storms trailing westward along the Nebraska-Kansas border, completely exited South Central Nebraska to the south-southeast, ending a very active 3-4 hours. Wrapping up with a closer look at the meteorological setup, this event was the grand finale to a multiple-day stretch of at least spotty severe storms within South Central Nebraska. But compared to prior days, forcing was stronger both aloft and at the surface, leading to an overall-more impactful event. In the mid-upper levels, west-northwest flow prevailed, featuring a fairly potent (albeit low amplitude) shortwave trough zipping eastward across northern NE/southern SD during the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the day began with an initially weakly-defined, west-east oriented front draped across southern portions of the local area. But during the evening, this boundary sharpened up and made a more pronounced southward surge into Kansas in response to a combination of pressure rises driven by the aforementioned upper wave and also convective outflow. Although quite a bit of daytime cloud cover helped hold afternoon temperatures across most of South Central Nebraska down in the mid-upper 70s (F) and low level moisture levels were only only seasonably-modest (dewpoints low-mid 60s F), an impressive combination of strong deep layer wind shear of at least 50-60 knots and mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg clearly supported higher-end severe weather. From a forecast/messaging perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's second Day 2 Outlook (issued on the 6th) upgraded most of South Central Nebraska to an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5), with this Enhanced category then maintained throughout the subsequent Day 1 cycle.

In fact, some locations (Hastings and York to name a few) actually endured three to four SEPARATE severe storms over a span of 2-4 hours!

In fact, the nearly continuous swath of damaging winds that stretched from south central NE/north central KS northeastward into southeast MN/western WI was officially declared a serial derecho...the first December derecho on record in the United States. Including nine confirmed tornadoes in South Central Nebraska (and 19 others that occurred in eastern NE), there were 28 confirmed tornadoes within the state...a remarkable fact considering that prior to this day only five Nebraska tornadoes had occurred in December since 1950! Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, despite countless instances of damage primarily to irrigation pivots, outbuildings, power lines/poles and trees. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing for the local area, first of all, even before convection flared up it was already an unusual/noteworthy December weather day given unseasonable warmth/humidity being pumped into the area on strong south winds. By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December. In the mid-upper levels, not only was the parent, negatively-tilted shortwave trough notably intense as it slammed across the central United States, but it was also notably fast. At daybreak, its vorticity maximum was just passing by the Four Corners, but by mid-day it had already reached the NE/CO/KS border area and by sunset had advanced into far northeast NE. At the 500-millibar level, a stout jet streak of 100+ knots nosed into South Central NE from the south-southwest during the afternoon, while lower in the column a potent southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) ramped up to 40-60 knots. At the surface, a vigorous low pressure center sliced across the heart of Nebraska from southwest-to-northeast during the afternoon, deepening to around 984 millibars along the way and driving a sharp dryline/cold frontal combo eastward through the area. As mentioned, surface dewpoints climbed into the 50s F across much of the area prior to convective initiation, fostering a corridor of mixed-layer CAPE up to 500-1000 J/kg. Although somewhat modest instability values by warmer-season standards, in this case it was more than enough to promote robust severe convection in the presence of extreme wind fields, with embedded QLCS tornadoes no surprise given 0-1 kilometer bulk shear around 40 knots and effective storm-relative helicity (SRH) around 200-300 m2/s2. In the wake of the squall line, the ensuing non-convective wind event corresponded to a zone of deep subsidence (likely associated with a sting jet) and a pronounced surface pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low, with a 16-millibar gradient noted across South Central NE at 6 p.m. (ranging from 988 mb at Columbus to 1004 mb at McCook).||Closing with some comments about official NWS forecasts leading up to this historic event, there was excellent awareness several days in advance regarding the likelihood of powerful non-convective winds both ahead of (southerlies) and behind (westerlies) the intense surface low pressure system. An area-wide High Wind Watch was issued early on the 13th (48-60 hours in advance) and was subsequently upgraded to a High Wind Warning early on the 14th. However, what was not as well anticipated (both at the local and national forecast level) was how great of a convective/tornado threat South Central NE would face, as the fast-tracking squall line ended up forming slightly earlier and several counties farther west than most model data suggested (especially 12+ hours out). As a result, there was a noticeable ramp-up of convective threat categories within South Central NE on Dec. 15th SPC Day 1 Outlooks, progressing from the initial 06Z outlook that barely brushed the far eastern fringes of the area with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5), to the 1630Z outlook that correctly shifted Slight (level 2) and Enhanced (level 3) categories westward into several counties along/east of Highway 281.

In fact, the nearly continuous swath of damaging winds that stretched from south central NE/north central KS northeastward into southeast MN/western WI was officially declared a serial derecho...the first December derecho on record in the United States. Including nine confirmed tornadoes in South Central Nebraska (and 19 others that occurred in eastern NE), there were 28 confirmed tornadoes within the state...a remarkable fact considering that prior to this day only five Nebraska tornadoes had occurred in December since 1950! Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, despite countless instances of damage primarily to irrigation pivots, outbuildings, power lines/poles and trees. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing for the local area, first of all, even before convection flared up it was already an unusual/noteworthy December weather day given unseasonable warmth/humidity being pumped into the area on strong south winds. By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties).

The primary/longest corridor of severe weather primarily impacted the the following local counties: southern/western Sherman, northern/eastern Buffalo, southern/western Hall, northern/eastern Adams (including Hastings), southern/western Clay and much of Nuckolls/Thayer. The other notable (but shorter-in-length) swath of storm damage wrought havoc across parts of eastern Hamilton, southern/western York and northern Fillmore counties. Within each of these corridors, there were numerous reports of severe winds and/or large hail (some at least 2-3 inch diameter), causing countless instances of damage such as: broken windows in homes and vehicles, significant damage to siding/roofs, innumerable flipped irrigation pivots, and the destruction of many thousands of acres of young crops. In addition to the considerable hail/damaging winds that impacted several counties, one QLCS tornado was also confirmed in Nuckolls/Thayer counties (rated EF-0). This event marked the fourth-consecutive day of severe storms within the 24-county area, and was the overall most significant round of all. Duration-wise, this event was actually fairly quick-hitting, with all South Central Nebraska severe storms unfolding during a 3.5 hour span between 7:00-10:30 p.m. CDT...starting off in northern counties and eventually exiting far south-southeast counties. ||Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the QLCS EF-0 tornado, it was determined to have tracked for nearly 10 miles through southeastern Nuckolls/southwestern Thayer counties shortly before 10 p.m. CDT, causing tree damage in Ruskin and then destroying/damaging several grain bins, irrigation pivots and a few outbuildings before lifting north of Byron. However, by far the biggest impacts of the evening resulted from large hail/damaging winds. Within the aforementioned longer corridor of damage extending along a line from Sherman through Nuckolls/Thayer counties, a sampling of some of the more noteworthy reports included: 2.5-3.5 diameter hail and 70 MPH winds in the Litchfield and Hazard areas (considerable window/siding damage); hail stones 2-4 diameter through the Ravenna/Pleasanton areas (considerable window/siding damage including shattered windows on a few fire trucks); combo of hail 1.75-2.50 diameter and measured 66 MPH winds in Hastings (considerable window/siding damage especially on north/west sides of the city); widespread 60-70 MPH winds through southern/western Clay County with over a dozen toppled irrigation pivots; wood frame outbuilding destroyed and a semi truck overturned near Hebron. Within the shorter swath of concentrated damage that tore through Hamilton/York/Fillmore counties, various reports included: a semi truck blown over on Interstate 80 and areas of complete crop destruction and many overturned irrigation pivots due to a combo of 60-70 MPH winds and hail up to 2 diameter (particularly in the Hampton, Henderson and McCool Junction areas). While these two main swaths accounted for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska storm reports during the evening, there were also a few more isolated pockets of severe weather well-removed from both of them. These included a mesonet-measured 64 MPH wind gust near Lexington and also a handful of reports associated with a supercell that barely skirted the northeast fringes of the local area (including golf ball size hail near Genoa and a measured 65 MPH gust near Shelby (with pivots reported overturned). ||Examining event evolution/timing, the first scattered storms of the evening (initially non-severe) formed between 6-7 p.m. CDT along a west-east oriented band across far northern local counties. Then, the action really ramped up/intensified during the next hour as: 1) a long-lived supercell that developed several hours prior in the northern NE Panhandle entered the local area into Sherman County (the beginning stages of the primary swath of severe weather)...2) a new intense supercell flared up over central/eastern Hamilton County (along the southern fringes of the initial weak northern activity)...3) another comparably shorter-lived supercell developed out of the eastern fringes of the northern storms and clipped the northeast fringes of the local area in Nance/Merrick/Polk counties. Between 8-10 p.m. CDT, the two primary South Central Nebraska supercells continued east-southeast, with the eastern one exiting the local area out of York/Fillmore counties, while the western one gradually merged with a developing convective line that extended off to its west-southwest. Shortly after this powerful storm tore through eastern Adams/western Clay counties, a gradual storm mode transition from semi-discrete supercell to small-scale severe QLCS was complete, leading to a reduced large hail threat but a continued threat of damaging winds (along with the aforementioned tornado). Finally, between 10-11 p.m. CDT the main QLCS segment over Thayer County, along with weaker linear storms trailing westward along the Nebraska-Kansas border, completely exited South Central Nebraska to the south-southeast, ending a very active 3-4 hours. Wrapping up with a closer look at the meteorological setup, this event was the grand finale to a multiple-day stretch of at least spotty severe storms within South Central Nebraska. But compared to prior days, forcing was stronger both aloft and at the surface, leading to an overall-more impactful event. In the mid-upper levels, west-northwest flow prevailed, featuring a fairly potent (albeit low amplitude) shortwave trough zipping eastward across northern NE/southern SD during the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the day began with an initially weakly-defined, west-east oriented front draped across southern portions of the local area. But during the evening, this boundary sharpened up and made a more pronounced southward surge into Kansas in response to a combination of pressure rises driven by the aforementioned upper wave and also convective outflow. Although quite a bit of daytime cloud cover helped hold afternoon temperatures across most of South Central Nebraska down in the mid-upper 70s (F) and low level moisture levels were only only seasonably-modest (dewpoints low-mid 60s F), an impressive combination of strong deep layer wind shear of at least 50-60 knots and mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg clearly supported higher-end severe weather.

The primary/longest corridor of severe weather primarily impacted the the following local counties: southern/western Sherman, northern/eastern Buffalo, southern/western Hall, northern/eastern Adams (including Hastings), southern/western Clay and much of Nuckolls/Thayer. The other notable (but shorter-in-length) swath of storm damage wrought havoc across parts of eastern Hamilton, southern/western York and northern Fillmore counties. Within each of these corridors, there were numerous reports of severe winds and/or large hail (some at least 2-3 inch diameter), causing countless instances of damage such as: broken windows in homes and vehicles, significant damage to siding/roofs, innumerable flipped irrigation pivots, and the destruction of many thousands of acres of young crops. In addition to the considerable hail/damaging winds that impacted several counties, one QLCS tornado was also confirmed in Nuckolls/Thayer counties (rated EF-0). This event marked the fourth-consecutive day of severe storms within the 24-county area, and was the overall most significant round of all. Duration-wise, this event was actually fairly quick-hitting, with all South Central Nebraska severe storms unfolding during a 3.5 hour span between 7:00-10:30 p.m. CDT...starting off in northern counties and eventually exiting far south-southeast counties. ||Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the QLCS EF-0 tornado, it was determined to have tracked for nearly 10 miles through southeastern Nuckolls/southwestern Thayer counties shortly before 10 p.m. CDT, causing tree damage in Ruskin and then destroying/damaging several grain bins, irrigation pivots and a few outbuildings before lifting north of Byron. However, by far the biggest impacts of the evening resulted from large hail/damaging winds. Within the aforementioned longer corridor of damage extending along a line from Sherman through Nuckolls/Thayer counties, a sampling of some of the more noteworthy reports included: 2.5-3.5 diameter hail and 70 MPH winds in the Litchfield and Hazard areas (considerable window/siding damage); hail stones 2-4 diameter through the Ravenna/Pleasanton areas (considerable window/siding damage including shattered windows on a few fire trucks); combo of hail 1.75-2.50 diameter and measured 66 MPH winds in Hastings (considerable window/siding damage especially on north/west sides of the city); widespread 60-70 MPH winds through southern/western Clay County with over a dozen toppled irrigation pivots; wood frame outbuilding destroyed and a semi truck overturned near Hebron. Within the shorter swath of concentrated damage that tore through Hamilton/York/Fillmore counties, various reports included: a semi truck blown over on Interstate 80 and areas of complete crop destruction and many overturned irrigation pivots due to a combo of 60-70 MPH winds and hail up to 2 diameter (particularly in the Hampton, Henderson and McCool Junction areas). While these two main swaths accounted for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska storm reports during the evening, there were also a few more isolated pockets of severe weather well-removed from both of them. These included a mesonet-measured 64 MPH wind gust near Lexington and also a handful of reports associated with a supercell that barely skirted the northeast fringes of the local area (including golf ball size hail near Genoa and a measured 65 MPH gust near Shelby (with pivots reported overturned). ||Examining event evolution/timing, the first scattered storms of the evening (initially non-severe) formed between 6-7 p.m. CDT along a west-east oriented band across far northern local counties. Then, the action really ramped up/intensified during the next hour as: 1) a long-lived supercell that developed several hours prior in the northern NE Panhandle entered the local area into Sherman County (the beginning stages of the primary swath of severe weather)...2) a new intense supercell flared up over central/eastern Hamilton County (along the southern fringes of the initial weak northern activity)...3) another comparably shorter-lived supercell developed out of the eastern fringes of the northern storms and clipped the northeast fringes of the local area in Nance/Merrick/Polk counties. Between 8-10 p.m. CDT, the two primary South Central Nebraska supercells continued east-southeast, with the eastern one exiting the local area out of York/Fillmore counties, while the western one gradually merged with a developing convective line that extended off to its west-southwest. Shortly after this powerful storm tore through eastern Adams/western Clay counties, a gradual storm mode transition from semi-discrete supercell to small-scale severe QLCS was complete, leading to a reduced large hail threat but a continued threat of damaging winds (along with the aforementioned tornado). Finally, between 10-11 p.m. CDT the main QLCS segment over Thayer County, along with weaker linear storms trailing westward along the Nebraska-Kansas border, completely exited South Central Nebraska to the south-southeast, ending a very active 3-4 hours. Wrapping up with a closer look at the meteorological setup, this event was the grand finale to a multiple-day stretch of at least spotty severe storms within South Central Nebraska. But compared to prior days, forcing was stronger both aloft and at the surface, leading to an overall-more impactful event. In the mid-upper levels, west-northwest flow prevailed, featuring a fairly potent (albeit low amplitude) shortwave trough zipping eastward across northern NE/southern SD during the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the day began with an initially weakly-defined, west-east oriented front draped across southern portions of the local area. But during the evening, this boundary sharpened up and made a more pronounced southward surge into Kansas in response to a combination of pressure rises driven by the aforementioned upper wave and also convective outflow. Although quite a bit of daytime cloud cover helped hold afternoon temperatures across most of South Central Nebraska down in the mid-upper 70s (F) and low level moisture levels were only only seasonably-modest (dewpoints low-mid 60s F), an impressive combination of strong deep layer wind shear of at least 50-60 knots and mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg clearly supported higher-end severe weather. From a forecast/messaging perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's second Day 2 Outlook (issued on the 6th) upgraded most of South Central Nebraska to an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5), with this Enhanced category then maintained throughout the subsequent Day 1 cycle.

Unlike the event a week prior on the 7th that featured a few separate swaths of severe weather, this one that played out mainly between 9:30 p.m. CDT on the 14th and 3:30 a.m. CDT on the 15th was highlighted by just one narrow, west-southwest to east-northeast oriented swath of multiple training supercells. In fact, some locations (Hastings and York to name a few) actually endured three to four SEPARATE severe storms over a span of 2-4 hours! With only limited exception, the vast majority of storm reports emanated from a 10-20 mile wide stripe centered roughly along a line from Elwood-Kearney-Doniphan-York.

Although this overlapping damage was somewhat evident over northeastern Adams County, it was particularly visible within the southwestern quadrant of York County, where many fields were mostly stripped bare for miles around...creating a visually striking/eerie contrast to what is typically a sea of green under the mid-June sun. ||Taking a deeper dive into storm reports and starting with the EF-2 tornado, storm surveys concluded that it tracked just over seven miles through southwestern York County shortly after midnight CDT, developing west-southwest of Lushton and lifting west of McCool Junction. Along the way, several farmsteads sustained damage (including a garage torn from a home and a wood frame outbuilding completely demolished) and two people sustained minor injuries. Interestingly, an unofficial mesonet station in or very near the tornado path actually measured a 90 MPH gust a few miles east-northeast of Lushton. Turning to the many known (and countless unknown) occurrences of large hail/damaging straight line winds within the primary convective swath, a few of the more noteworthy wind damage/speed reports included: estimated 105 MPH winds in the Waco area that toppled a 60 ft. concrete silo; estimated 95 MPH winds through parts of northeastern Clay County that crumpled a grain bin near Saronville; widespread tree and sporadic structural damage in McCool Junction; separate measured wind gusts of 75 and 65 MPH at Hastings airport (from different storms 45 minutes apart); an unofficial mesonet gust of 79 MPH near Norman. Meanwhile, a few of the most notable hail reports featured: stones up to tennis ball size in York and Trumbull; hail up to 2.25 diameter at the NWS Hastings office that significantly dented the vehicles of on-duty meteorologists working this event; various reports of ping pong ball to golf ball size hail in or near Waco, Riverdale, Lushton, Bertrand, Kearney and seven miles south of Elwood. Rainfall-wise, despite the passage of several storms over the same areas, progressive storm motions mitigated the threat of significant flooding by limiting most totals to no more than 1-2 (highest NeRAIN amount of 2.67 on the east side of York). Although the vast majority of hail/wind reports were tied to the aforementioned west-east corridor bisecting the heart of the area, two severe storms occurred well outside of this zone...one to the south/one to the north. The southern one was a discrete supercell that lumbered through parts of Webster/Nuckolls/Thayer counties but yielded only one report of quarter size hail in Nelson. Meanwhile, the northern-most severe storm was the left-split of a supercell that first developed southwest of Kearney, dropping 1.5-2 diameter hail in the Pleasanton and Loup City areas before weakening. ||Examining event evolution/meteorological background, the first weak convection of the evening within South Central Nebraska bubbled up in the Hastings area shortly before sunset, forming slightly north of a well-defined, southwest-northeast oriented quasi-stationary front stretched from west-central KS through southeast NE (storms that developed directly along this front earlier in the evening remained just southeast of the local area). Between 9-10 p.m. CDT two supercells quickly evolved out of the initial weak activity, one that pounded York with its first round of large hail and drilled the eastern part of the county with significant wind damage, and the other the aforementioned southern supercell that developed over Webster County. Between 10-11 p.m. CDT, these first severe storms either departed the local area into eastern Nebraska (the northern one) or weakened/dissipated (the southern one). However, not far to the west the primary supercell train was just getting warmed up as several severe storms rapidly blossomed along the Highway 6/Interstate 80 corridors within the western half of South Central Nebraska. This slightly-elevated activity developed in response to intensifying nocturnal convergence into a sharpening frontal zone very evident in the 850-700 millibar layer. Given that this low-mid level front was aligned nearly parallel to strong west-southwesterly upper level winds (attendant to a large scale trough centered over the Northern Rockies) and that the mesoscale environment featured a potent combination of very strong deep layer shear (50-70 knots) and decent most-unstable CAPE (1000-2000 J/kg), the stage was set for a somewhat rare episode of several supercells training along the same corridor in close succession. In fact, between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. CDT, at least 3-5 severe-warned storms marched in tandem along this path, each core spaced out roughly 25 miles from the next. During this three-hour span, places such as Hastings and York endured three separate severe storms (bringing York up to FOUR direct hits...including the initial supercell of the night). While most of these cells remained just elevated enough to preclude a tornado threat, the first storm in the supercell train managed to spawn the EF-2 in southwestern York County...apparently tapping into JUST enough lower-level moisture/instability in the vicinity of the nearby surface front to become tornadic. Finally, between 2:00-3:30 a.m. CDT, the last two training supercells of the night passed through Hamilton, Polk and northern York counties before departing the local area, bringing an end to this unique and (in places) destructive event.

In fact, the nearly continuous swath of damaging winds that stretched from south central NE/north central KS northeastward into southeast MN/western WI was officially declared a serial derecho...the first December derecho on record in the United States. Including nine confirmed tornadoes in South Central Nebraska (and 19 others that occurred in eastern NE), there were 28 confirmed tornadoes within the state...a remarkable fact considering that prior to this day only five Nebraska tornadoes had occurred in December since 1950! Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, despite countless instances of damage primarily to irrigation pivots, outbuildings, power lines/poles and trees. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing for the local area, first of all, even before convection flared up it was already an unusual/noteworthy December weather day given unseasonable warmth/humidity being pumped into the area on strong south winds. By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December. In the mid-upper levels, not only was the parent, negatively-tilted shortwave trough notably intense as it slammed across the central United States, but it was also notably fast. At daybreak, its vorticity maximum was just passing by the Four Corners, but by mid-day it had already reached the NE/CO/KS border area and by sunset had advanced into far northeast NE. At the 500-millibar level, a stout jet streak of 100+ knots nosed into South Central NE from the south-southwest during the afternoon, while lower in the column a potent southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) ramped up to 40-60 knots. At the surface, a vigorous low pressure center sliced across the heart of Nebraska from southwest-to-northeast during the afternoon, deepening to around 984 millibars along the way and driving a sharp dryline/cold frontal combo eastward through the area. As mentioned, surface dewpoints climbed into the 50s F across much of the area prior to convective initiation, fostering a corridor of mixed-layer CAPE up to 500-1000 J/kg. Although somewhat modest instability values by warmer-season standards, in this case it was more than enough to promote robust severe convection in the presence of extreme wind fields, with embedded QLCS tornadoes no surprise given 0-1 kilometer bulk shear around 40 knots and effective storm-relative helicity (SRH) around 200-300 m2/s2. In the wake of the squall line, the ensuing non-convective wind event corresponded to a zone of deep subsidence (likely associated with a sting jet) and a pronounced surface pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low, with a 16-millibar gradient noted across South Central NE at 6 p.m. (ranging from 988 mb at Columbus to 1004 mb at McCook).||Closing with some comments about official NWS forecasts leading up to this historic event, there was excellent awareness several days in advance regarding the likelihood of powerful non-convective winds both ahead of (southerlies) and behind (westerlies) the intense surface low pressure system. An area-wide High Wind Watch was issued early on the 13th (48-60 hours in advance) and was subsequently upgraded to a High Wind Warning early on the 14th. However, what was not as well anticipated (both at the local and national forecast level) was how great of a convective/tornado threat South Central NE would face, as the fast-tracking squall line ended up forming slightly earlier and several counties farther west than most model data suggested (especially 12+ hours out). As a result, there was a noticeable ramp-up of convective threat categories within South Central NE on Dec. 15th SPC Day 1 Outlooks, progressing from the initial 06Z outlook that barely brushed the far eastern fringes of the area with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5), to the 1630Z outlook that correctly shifted Slight (level 2) and Enhanced (level 3) categories westward into several counties along/east of Highway 281. A wind gust of 67 MPH was measured by a mesonet station located four miles east-southeast of Ruskin.", "ts_dict_index": [7674, 7675, 7676]} +{"event_id": 846447, "event_type": "Thunderstorm Wind", "state": "NEBRASKA", "cz_name": "ADAMS", "begin_date_time": "2019-07-08 17:30:00", "end_date_time": "2019-07-08 17:30:00", "narrative": "Excessive rainfall, flash flooding, and severe winds occurred on this Monday afternoon and evening. Widely scattered thunderstorms began forming around 1 PM CST along and west of Highway 183. By 2 PM CST, a persistent line segment of thunderstorms began affecting western Dawson county. Over the following four hours, this southwest-northeast oriented line slowly crept east across Dawson county into western Buffalo county, with its southwest end moving from Gosper county into Phelps county. A downburst occurred in Cozad where winds were measured at 63 mph. Further east, trees were damaged near Elm Creek. This line of storms subsequently weakened as it moved into eastern Buffalo county. However, between 5 and 9 PM CST, numerous small thunderstorms formed over Gosper, Furnas, Phelps, and Harlan counties. Storms kept forming over these counties until a multi-county area of persistent heavy rain enveloped these counties and expanded north to include Dawson and Buffalo counties. By 9 PM CST, the heaviest rain had morphed to the southeast side of a large, expanding rain shield, with a nearly stationary band stretching from southwest to northeast across Furnas, Phelps, and Buffalo counties. After 10 PM CST, a large squall line that had developed far to the west, over the high plains, began moving into south-central Nebraska. It brought a third period of heavy rain to these counties, but its cold pool aided in shoving the training, slow-moving mass of heavy rain eastward. The two areas of rain merged with a progressive squall line subsequently advancing across the rest of the south central Nebraska. The squall line exited into southeast Nebraska by 230 AM CST. Severe downburst winds occurred a few spots with this squall line. A few tree limbs were snapped off in Oxford and Kearney, and 36 power poles were snapped off over a 2-mile stretch southeast of Holdrege. The highest rainfall total reported was 10.65 inches 3 miles southwest of Odessa. The second highest was 8.88 inches in Loomis. 8.33 fell near Hildreth, 7.66 in Riverdale, 7.60 near Lexington, 6.50 near Cozad, 5.90 near Minden, and 5.64 on the southwest side of Kearney.||Late in the afternoon, a few thunderstorms moved north from Kansas ahead of the storms west of Highway 183. These storms produced some spotty tree damage in Webster and Kearney counties, and damage two livestock sheds in the town of Ayr. A brief rope tornado was also reported near Roseland. ||At the surface, a stalled front extended from the Mid-Atlantic states west to the southern Kansas border. Throughout the day, this front gradually lifted north as a warm front. Meanwhile, low pressure over eastern Colorado moved into northwest Kansas, joining the western end of the front. In the upper-levels weak southwest flow was over Nebraska with a longwave trough advancing eastward through the western U.S., and a ridge over the Upper Midwest. An embedded shortwave trough moved out of Colorado and crossed Nebraska, creating a favorable environment for thunderstorms. As the initial thunderstorms developed, the environment was characterized by surface temperatures in the lower to middle 80s, with dewpoints in the lower 70s. Mid-level lapse rates were poor, but despite that, MLCAPE was 2500-3000 J/kg. Deep layer shear was weak at less than 20 kt. Precipitable water values were around 1.70 inches, which was close to a record. ||The excessive rainfall resulted in flash flooding in parts of Dawson, Gosper, Furnas, Harlan, Phelps, and Buffalo counties, including flooding across parts of U.S. Highways 6, 30, 183, and 283. Numerous gravel county roads were inundated by flood waters and impassible. Many of them were severely damaged. Roads in the city of Kearney were flooded from one curb to the other, and in at least two separate places, water was 3 to 4 ft deep. Almost 40 vehicles were stranded in Kearney streets. Basements were flooded in some homes due to egress windows breaking. The student union was flooded on the University of Nebraska campus in Kearney. Two to three feet of water was reported in the lower level of the food court. In Lexington, cars were stalled in flood waters and 23 people were evacuated from an apartment building due to flooding. The Red Cross opened a shelter to care for those evacuated.||In some areas, the impacts worsened the following day as creeks swelled out of their banks. Gibbon, Kearney, Odessa, Elm Creek, and Lexington were all severely impacted. U.S. highway 30 was closed due to floodwater from Shelton to Kearney to Elm Creek, as well as near Lexington. Turkey Creek drains into the North Channel of the Platte River, which runs through the south side of Kearney. Water rapidly rose on the south side of the city Tuesday morning, inundating numerous hotels, restaurants, businesses, and basements. At least 200 people had to be evacuated from hotels using construction grade front-end loaders. Approximately 100 other nearby residents needed to be evacuated as well. At its peak, water was 2 to 4 feet high inside the hotels, and 4 to 5 feet high in the parking lots. The water rose so quickly that many people staying at the hotels did not have time to move their vehicles. Most vehicles at the hotels were a total loss. Hundreds of vehicles in the city had to be towed. Some businesses were closed for weeks, others for months, as repairs and remodeling were completed. Kitchen equipment was ruined at some restaurants. Of the 1800 hotels rooms in Kearney, only about 600 were available for use because first floor services, such as check-in desks, laundry facilities, and kitchens were damaged. Stagecoach souvenir shop lost 2,000 pounds of merchandise. Second avenue, which is the main north-south thoroughfare through the city, was closed from Interstate 80 to 11th avenue. The Interstate 80 off ramp was also closed. All traffic to and from the Interstate, from the city, had to use the Kearney East Expressway. Approximately 400 Kearney homes were damaged by the flood, and many more beyond city limits. Just as one example, an egress window gave way in a home on the southeast side of Kearney. Water rushed into the basement, filling it nearly to the ceiling. Extensive flooding resulted in the closure of Yanney Park. A power substation flooded and resulted in power outages to about 450 customers. Flood waters began to subside Wednesday, July 10th, which allowed for one lane of 2nd avenue to be reopened in each direction.||In Odessa, flooding was significant. Water was 4 feet deep on Webb street. A little further south, the Odessa exit from Interstate 80 was closed because of significant flooding. Water was about 3 feet deep at the truck stop adjacent to the Interstate. Semi trucks and cars pulled into the truck stop due to the heavy rain Monday evening, but by 630 AM CST Tuesday, water was up to the top of the wheel wells on several semi's. Flooded vehicles had to be towed. The Platte River, which is very wide and shallow, rose 3 feet in 12 hours from 6 PM CST Monday to 6 AM CST Tuesday, and 4 feet in 24 hours. It is very difficult for the Platte River to flood, but it crested at 8.3 feet at 515 PM CST Tuesday. Flood stage is 7 feet.||In the town of Elm Creek, many roads and basements were flooded. A gauge on Elm Creek indicated that the water level rose 8 feet in 2 hours Monday evening.||The city of Lexington issued a disaster declaration due to the disruption of utility services. Streets and homes were flooded with sewers backing up into homes. ||Flooding was extensive along the Wood River. Moderate flooding occurred at Riverdale with water covering the bridge just north of town. Further to the north, flooding forced the closure of state highway 10 between Pleasanton and Hazard.||In Gibbon, water flooded streets and basements for the second time this year. The northeast side of town was impacted the worst with at least 30 homes and several businesses inundated by floodwater. People had to sandbag their homes and businesses. It is believed that flooding on the Wood River was wider with this event, due to changes in the riverbed from the prior flood in March. Some places that did not flood in that event, flooded this time. Many people commented, I can't believe this has happened twice. Several businesses affected by the March flood still remained closed due to damage.||Amtrak trains that travel between Chicago and Emeryville, CA were halted in Lincoln and McCook due to the flooding. There were probably many more impacts that were not documented here as it is not possible to include everything. Widespread flooding of low-lying areas, creeks, and rivers continued for several days following the excessive rain. Flood waters did not recede in some locations until Monday, July 15th. This devastating flood occurred just four months after a catastrophic flood occurred nearby in mid-to-late March. That flood affected areas primarily along and north of the Platte River. Two livestock sheds sustained minor damage.

Unlike the event a week prior on the 7th that featured a few separate swaths of severe weather, this one that played out mainly between 9:30 p.m. CDT on the 14th and 3:30 a.m. CDT on the 15th was highlighted by just one narrow, west-southwest to east-northeast oriented swath of multiple training supercells. In fact, some locations (Hastings and York to name a few) actually endured three to four SEPARATE severe storms over a span of 2-4 hours! With only limited exception, the vast majority of storm reports emanated from a 10-20 mile wide stripe centered roughly along a line from Elwood-Kearney-Doniphan-York. Within this zone there were numerous reports of large hail (many golf ball to tennis ball size) and damaging winds mainly in the 60-75 MPH range (but isolated pockets of 90-100+ MPH...especially east Highway 14). In addition, an EF-2 tornado was confirmed in southwest York County. Also of note was that some very unlucky locales experienced nearly a repeat performance of what just unfolded seven evenings prior...struck by another round of large hail/damaging winds only days after starting to recover from the first event on the 7th. Although this overlapping damage was somewhat evident over northeastern Adams County, it was particularly visible within the southwestern quadrant of York County, where many fields were mostly stripped bare for miles around...creating a visually striking/eerie contrast to what is typically a sea of green under the mid-June sun. ||Taking a deeper dive into storm reports and starting with the EF-2 tornado, storm surveys concluded that it tracked just over seven miles through southwestern York County shortly after midnight CDT, developing west-southwest of Lushton and lifting west of McCool Junction. Along the way, several farmsteads sustained damage (including a garage torn from a home and a wood frame outbuilding completely demolished) and two people sustained minor injuries. Interestingly, an unofficial mesonet station in or very near the tornado path actually measured a 90 MPH gust a few miles east-northeast of Lushton. Turning to the many known (and countless unknown) occurrences of large hail/damaging straight line winds within the primary convective swath, a few of the more noteworthy wind damage/speed reports included: estimated 105 MPH winds in the Waco area that toppled a 60 ft. concrete silo; estimated 95 MPH winds through parts of northeastern Clay County that crumpled a grain bin near Saronville; widespread tree and sporadic structural damage in McCool Junction; separate measured wind gusts of 75 and 65 MPH at Hastings airport (from different storms 45 minutes apart); an unofficial mesonet gust of 79 MPH near Norman. Meanwhile, a few of the most notable hail reports featured: stones up to tennis ball size in York and Trumbull; hail up to 2.25 diameter at the NWS Hastings office that significantly dented the vehicles of on-duty meteorologists working this event; various reports of ping pong ball to golf ball size hail in or near Waco, Riverdale, Lushton, Bertrand, Kearney and seven miles south of Elwood. Rainfall-wise, despite the passage of several storms over the same areas, progressive storm motions mitigated the threat of significant flooding by limiting most totals to no more than 1-2 (highest NeRAIN amount of 2.67 on the east side of York). Although the vast majority of hail/wind reports were tied to the aforementioned west-east corridor bisecting the heart of the area, two severe storms occurred well outside of this zone...one to the south/one to the north. The southern one was a discrete supercell that lumbered through parts of Webster/Nuckolls/Thayer counties but yielded only one report of quarter size hail in Nelson. Meanwhile, the northern-most severe storm was the left-split of a supercell that first developed southwest of Kearney, dropping 1.5-2 diameter hail in the Pleasanton and Loup City areas before weakening. ||Examining event evolution/meteorological background, the first weak convection of the evening within South Central Nebraska bubbled up in the Hastings area shortly before sunset, forming slightly north of a well-defined, southwest-northeast oriented quasi-stationary front stretched from west-central KS through southeast NE (storms that developed directly along this front earlier in the evening remained just southeast of the local area). Between 9-10 p.m. CDT two supercells quickly evolved out of the initial weak activity, one that pounded York with its first round of large hail and drilled the eastern part of the county with significant wind damage, and the other the aforementioned southern supercell that developed over Webster County. Between 10-11 p.m. CDT, these first severe storms either departed the local area into eastern Nebraska (the northern one) or weakened/dissipated (the southern one). However, not far to the west the primary supercell train was just getting warmed up as several severe storms rapidly blossomed along the Highway 6/Interstate 80 corridors within the western half of South Central Nebraska. This slightly-elevated activity developed in response to intensifying nocturnal convergence into a sharpening frontal zone very evident in the 850-700 millibar layer. Given that this low-mid level front was aligned nearly parallel to strong west-southwesterly upper level winds (attendant to a large scale trough centered over the Northern Rockies) and that the mesoscale environment featured a potent combination of very strong deep layer shear (50-70 knots) and decent most-unstable CAPE (1000-2000 J/kg), the stage was set for a somewhat rare episode of several supercells training along the same corridor in close succession. In fact, between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. CDT, at least 3-5 severe-warned storms marched in tandem along this path, each core spaced out roughly 25 miles from the next. During this three-hour span, places such as Hastings and York endured three separate severe storms (bringing York up to FOUR direct hits...including the initial supercell of the night). While most of these cells remained just elevated enough to preclude a tornado threat, the first storm in the supercell train managed to spawn the EF-2 in southwestern York County...apparently tapping into JUST enough lower-level moisture/instability in the vicinity of the nearby surface front to become tornadic. Finally, between 2:00-3:30 a.m. CDT, the last two training supercells of the night passed through Hamilton, Polk and northern York counties before departing the local area, bringing an end to this unique and (in places) destructive event. A wind gust of 75 MPH was measured by the Hastings Airport ASOS. Wind gusts were estimated to be closer to 60 MPH by a NWS Employee on the far south-southeast side of Hastings. Emergency management reported power pole damage and downed power lines in the area of the intersection of 14th and Baltimore streets.", "ts_dict_index": [7689, 7690, 7691]} +{"event_id": 994810, "event_type": "Thunderstorm Wind", "state": "NEBRASKA", "cz_name": "THAYER", "begin_date_time": "2021-12-15 14:35:00", "end_date_time": "2021-12-15 14:35:00", "narrative": "A historic onslaught of swift moving severe thunderstorms with embedded tornadoes, followed by several hours of severe gradient winds and areas of blowing dust/smoke (and even a touch of wind-whipped snow) unfolded within South Central Nebraska on this Wednesday afternoon-evening, with the local area serving as the initiation zone of what would not only end up being the most impactful convective event on record during the month of December for the state of Nebraska (far eclipsing Christmas Day 2016), but also for other nearby states including IA/MN. In fact, the nearly continuous swath of damaging winds that stretched from south central NE/north central KS northeastward into southeast MN/western WI was officially declared a serial derecho...the first December derecho on record in the United States. Including nine confirmed tornadoes in South Central Nebraska (and 19 others that occurred in eastern NE), there were 28 confirmed tornadoes within the state...a remarkable fact considering that prior to this day only five Nebraska tornadoes had occurred in December since 1950! Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, despite countless instances of damage primarily to irrigation pivots, outbuildings, power lines/poles and trees. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing for the local area, first of all, even before convection flared up it was already an unusual/noteworthy December weather day given unseasonable warmth/humidity being pumped into the area on strong south winds. By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December.

Between 8-10 p.m. CDT, the two primary South Central Nebraska supercells continued east-southeast, with the eastern one exiting the local area out of York/Fillmore counties, while the western one gradually merged with a developing convective line that extended off to its west-southwest. Shortly after this powerful storm tore through eastern Adams/western Clay counties, a gradual storm mode transition from semi-discrete supercell to small-scale severe QLCS was complete, leading to a reduced large hail threat but a continued threat of damaging winds (along with the aforementioned tornado). Finally, between 10-11 p.m. CDT the main QLCS segment over Thayer County, along with weaker linear storms trailing westward along the Nebraska-Kansas border, completely exited South Central Nebraska to the south-southeast, ending a very active 3-4 hours. Wrapping up with a closer look at the meteorological setup, this event was the grand finale to a multiple-day stretch of at least spotty severe storms within South Central Nebraska. But compared to prior days, forcing was stronger both aloft and at the surface, leading to an overall-more impactful event. In the mid-upper levels, west-northwest flow prevailed, featuring a fairly potent (albeit low amplitude) shortwave trough zipping eastward across northern NE/southern SD during the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the day began with an initially weakly-defined, west-east oriented front draped across southern portions of the local area. But during the evening, this boundary sharpened up and made a more pronounced southward surge into Kansas in response to a combination of pressure rises driven by the aforementioned upper wave and also convective outflow. Although quite a bit of daytime cloud cover helped hold afternoon temperatures across most of South Central Nebraska down in the mid-upper 70s (F) and low level moisture levels were only only seasonably-modest (dewpoints low-mid 60s F), an impressive combination of strong deep layer wind shear of at least 50-60 knots and mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg clearly supported higher-end severe weather. From a forecast/messaging perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's second Day 2 Outlook (issued on the 6th) upgraded most of South Central Nebraska to an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5), with this Enhanced category then maintained throughout the subsequent Day 1 cycle.

Unlike the event a week prior on the 7th that featured a few separate swaths of severe weather, this one that played out mainly between 9:30 p.m. CDT on the 14th and 3:30 a.m. CDT on the 15th was highlighted by just one narrow, west-southwest to east-northeast oriented swath of multiple training supercells. In fact, some locations (Hastings and York to name a few) actually endured three to four SEPARATE severe storms over a span of 2-4 hours! With only limited exception, the vast majority of storm reports emanated from a 10-20 mile wide stripe centered roughly along a line from Elwood-Kearney-Doniphan-York. Within this zone there were numerous reports of large hail (many golf ball to tennis ball size) and damaging winds mainly in the 60-75 MPH range (but isolated pockets of 90-100+ MPH...especially east Highway 14). In addition, an EF-2 tornado was confirmed in southwest York County. Also of note was that some very unlucky locales experienced nearly a repeat performance of what just unfolded seven evenings prior...struck by another round of large hail/damaging winds only days after starting to recover from the first event on the 7th. Although this overlapping damage was somewhat evident over northeastern Adams County, it was particularly visible within the southwestern quadrant of York County, where many fields were mostly stripped bare for miles around...creating a visually striking/eerie contrast to what is typically a sea of green under the mid-June sun. ||Taking a deeper dive into storm reports and starting with the EF-2 tornado, storm surveys concluded that it tracked just over seven miles through southwestern York County shortly after midnight CDT, developing west-southwest of Lushton and lifting west of McCool Junction. Along the way, several farmsteads sustained damage (including a garage torn from a home and a wood frame outbuilding completely demolished) and two people sustained minor injuries. Interestingly, an unofficial mesonet station in or very near the tornado path actually measured a 90 MPH gust a few miles east-northeast of Lushton. Turning to the many known (and countless unknown) occurrences of large hail/damaging straight line winds within the primary convective swath, a few of the more noteworthy wind damage/speed reports included: estimated 105 MPH winds in the Waco area that toppled a 60 ft. concrete silo; estimated 95 MPH winds through parts of northeastern Clay County that crumpled a grain bin near Saronville; widespread tree and sporadic structural damage in McCool Junction; separate measured wind gusts of 75 and 65 MPH at Hastings airport (from different storms 45 minutes apart); an unofficial mesonet gust of 79 MPH near Norman. Meanwhile, a few of the most notable hail reports featured: stones up to tennis ball size in York and Trumbull; hail up to 2.25 diameter at the NWS Hastings office that significantly dented the vehicles of on-duty meteorologists working this event; various reports of ping pong ball to golf ball size hail in or near Waco, Riverdale, Lushton, Bertrand, Kearney and seven miles south of Elwood. Rainfall-wise, despite the passage of several storms over the same areas, progressive storm motions mitigated the threat of significant flooding by limiting most totals to no more than 1-2 (highest NeRAIN amount of 2.67 on the east side of York). Although the vast majority of hail/wind reports were tied to the aforementioned west-east corridor bisecting the heart of the area, two severe storms occurred well outside of this zone...one to the south/one to the north. The southern one was a discrete supercell that lumbered through parts of Webster/Nuckolls/Thayer counties but yielded only one report of quarter size hail in Nelson. Meanwhile, the northern-most severe storm was the left-split of a supercell that first developed southwest of Kearney, dropping 1.5-2 diameter hail in the Pleasanton and Loup City areas before weakening. ||Examining event evolution/meteorological background, the first weak convection of the evening within South Central Nebraska bubbled up in the Hastings area shortly before sunset, forming slightly north of a well-defined, southwest-northeast oriented quasi-stationary front stretched from west-central KS through southeast NE (storms that developed directly along this front earlier in the evening remained just southeast of the local area). Between 9-10 p.m. CDT two supercells quickly evolved out of the initial weak activity, one that pounded York with its first round of large hail and drilled the eastern part of the county with significant wind damage, and the other the aforementioned southern supercell that developed over Webster County. Between 10-11 p.m. CDT, these first severe storms either departed the local area into eastern Nebraska (the northern one) or weakened/dissipated (the southern one). However, not far to the west the primary supercell train was just getting warmed up as several severe storms rapidly blossomed along the Highway 6/Interstate 80 corridors within the western half of South Central Nebraska. This slightly-elevated activity developed in response to intensifying nocturnal convergence into a sharpening frontal zone very evident in the 850-700 millibar layer. Given that this low-mid level front was aligned nearly parallel to strong west-southwesterly upper level winds (attendant to a large scale trough centered over the Northern Rockies) and that the mesoscale environment featured a potent combination of very strong deep layer shear (50-70 knots) and decent most-unstable CAPE (1000-2000 J/kg), the stage was set for a somewhat rare episode of several supercells training along the same corridor in close succession. In fact, between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. CDT, at least 3-5 severe-warned storms marched in tandem along this path, each core spaced out roughly 25 miles from the next. During this three-hour span, places such as Hastings and York endured three separate severe storms (bringing York up to FOUR direct hits...including the initial supercell of the night). While most of these cells remained just elevated enough to preclude a tornado threat, the first storm in the supercell train managed to spawn the EF-2 in southwestern York County...apparently tapping into JUST enough lower-level moisture/instability in the vicinity of the nearby surface front to become tornadic. Finally, between 2:00-3:30 a.m. CDT, the last two training supercells of the night passed through Hamilton, Polk and northern York counties before departing the local area, bringing an end to this unique and (in places) destructive event. Measured and estimated wind gusts exceeding 60 MPH were reported in and around Hastings. A peak wind gust of 71 MPH was measured by a mesonet station located four miles east-southeast of Hastings. Other wind gusts included: 71 MPH measured by a mesonet station located two miles north of Hastings; 65 MPH measured by the Hastings Airport ASOS; 60 MPH estimated by a NWS employee on the far southeast side of Hastings.", "ts_dict_index": [7692, 7693, 7694]} +{"event_id": 1035657, "event_type": "Thunderstorm Wind", "state": "NEBRASKA", "cz_name": "FILLMORE", "begin_date_time": "2022-06-07 19:55:00", "end_date_time": "2022-06-07 19:55:00", "narrative": "While nearly all of South Central Nebraska experienced thunderstorms on this Tuesday evening, the majority of severe storms (significantly severe in places) concentrated within two distinct, northwest-southeast swaths mainly no more than 10-20 miles across...both associated with discrete supercells (one of which eventually morphed into more of a quasi-linear convective system/QLCS). The primary/longest corridor of severe weather primarily impacted the the following local counties: southern/western Sherman, northern/eastern Buffalo, southern/western Hall, northern/eastern Adams (including Hastings), southern/western Clay and much of Nuckolls/Thayer. The other notable (but shorter-in-length) swath of storm damage wrought havoc across parts of eastern Hamilton, southern/western York and northern Fillmore counties. Within each of these corridors, there were numerous reports of severe winds and/or large hail (some at least 2-3 inch diameter), causing countless instances of damage such as: broken windows in homes and vehicles, significant damage to siding/roofs, innumerable flipped irrigation pivots, and the destruction of many thousands of acres of young crops. In addition to the considerable hail/damaging winds that impacted several counties, one QLCS tornado was also confirmed in Nuckolls/Thayer counties (rated EF-0). This event marked the fourth-consecutive day of severe storms within the 24-county area, and was the overall most significant round of all. Duration-wise, this event was actually fairly quick-hitting, with all South Central Nebraska severe storms unfolding during a 3.5 hour span between 7:00-10:30 p.m. CDT...starting off in northern counties and eventually exiting far south-southeast counties. ||Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the QLCS EF-0 tornado, it was determined to have tracked for nearly 10 miles through southeastern Nuckolls/southwestern Thayer counties shortly before 10 p.m. CDT, causing tree damage in Ruskin and then destroying/damaging several grain bins, irrigation pivots and a few outbuildings before lifting north of Byron. However, by far the biggest impacts of the evening resulted from large hail/damaging winds. Within the aforementioned longer corridor of damage extending along a line from Sherman through Nuckolls/Thayer counties, a sampling of some of the more noteworthy reports included: 2.5-3.5 diameter hail and 70 MPH winds in the Litchfield and Hazard areas (considerable window/siding damage); hail stones 2-4 diameter through the Ravenna/Pleasanton areas (considerable window/siding damage including shattered windows on a few fire trucks); combo of hail 1.75-2.50 diameter and measured 66 MPH winds in Hastings (considerable window/siding damage especially on north/west sides of the city); widespread 60-70 MPH winds through southern/western Clay County with over a dozen toppled irrigation pivots; wood frame outbuilding destroyed and a semi truck overturned near Hebron. Within the shorter swath of concentrated damage that tore through Hamilton/York/Fillmore counties, various reports included: a semi truck blown over on Interstate 80 and areas of complete crop destruction and many overturned irrigation pivots due to a combo of 60-70 MPH winds and hail up to 2 diameter (particularly in the Hampton, Henderson and McCool Junction areas). While these two main swaths accounted for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska storm reports during the evening, there were also a few more isolated pockets of severe weather well-removed from both of them. These included a mesonet-measured 64 MPH wind gust near Lexington and also a handful of reports associated with a supercell that barely skirted the northeast fringes of the local area (including golf ball size hail near Genoa and a measured 65 MPH gust near Shelby (with pivots reported overturned). ||Examining event evolution/timing, the first scattered storms of the evening (initially non-severe) formed between 6-7 p.m. CDT along a west-east oriented band across far northern local counties.

For being such a widespread event (the majority of the 24 counties experienced at least limited severe weather) it was fairly quick-evolving and quick-hitting, as all local storms occurred within a 4.5-hour span between 3:30-8 p.m. CDT. Convective mode was a potent, but messy mix consisting primarily of an eastward-charging quasi-linear convective system (QLCS), but also a few briefly-discrete supercells that flared up just ahead of the QLCS (and were subsequently overtaken by it), along with at least one supercell structure embedded within the southern reaches of the QLCS. Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the four tornadoes, the first two (both with no known damage) touched down briefly in southwestern Harlan County, spawned by the first (and most isolated) supercell of the day. A short time later, another brief tornado (also no damage reported) was spotted in south central Kearney County, associated with a supercell that initiated just ahead of the approaching QLCS. The fourth tornado, though only rated EF-0, was the most noteworthy one as it developed along the far southern fringes of the QLCS in the Ruskin-Deshler area, overturning several pivots and damaging an outbuilding along a nearly five mile path. However, by far the biggest story of the day was significant straight-line wind damage. Though sporadic pockets of damage occurred in western counties, by far the most concentrated swaths focused within the following counties: Adams, Nuckolls, Thayer and especially Clay/Fillmore. This was due to a combination of the QLCS peaking in intensity over this area, along with it containing the embedded supercell. The most notable corridor of destructive winds took aim on southeastern Clay, southwestern Fillmore and northern Thayer counties. To mention just a few storm reports from this zone: at least 250 irrigation pivots toppled; several grain bins and a few outbuildings destroyed; unofficial mesonet-measured wind gusts as high as 91 MPH near Davenport and 78 MPH near Shickley. Outside of this worst-hit area (and farther north/west): a sampling of thunderstorm wind issues included: estimated 75 MPH gusts that derailed approximately 15 train cars near Shelton, estimated winds of 65-70 MPH in the Minden and Hastings areas (downed trees in Minden and a small-but-sturdy storage shed blown from behind a home into a front yard in south Hastings); measured gusts of 64 MPH as far north as Ord and 61 MPH as far west as Bertrand. Although taking a back seat to damaging winds due to being more localized, several large hail reports came in from various counties, including some very large stones to at least tennis ball size. The majority of the largest hail occurred with the first supercell of the day in Furnas County, including up to baseball size south of Holbrook and tennis ball size in Beaver City/Hollinger. However, the outright-biggest stone of the event measured 4 inches in diameter, plunging earthward several miles southwest of Minden. On the less extreme side of things, ping pong ball to golf ball size hail fell in various locations including Kearney, Minden and Alma. ||Taking a closer look at event evolution/timing, the first supercell initiated over northern Furnas County around 3:30 p.m. CDT, forming on a classic surface triple point...slightly north-northwest of strong low pressure (992 millibars) centered over north central Kansas. For a short time this storm was the only show locally, drifting slowly southeastward and dropping large hail and brief tornadoes. However, by 4:30 p.m. CDT, a north-south oriented linear system was already into Dawson/Gosper counties, driven eastward by strong convergence along an accelerating cold front. Between 5-6 p.m. CDT a few supercells/discrete multicells briefly developed over Kearney/Buffalo counties (including the one that produced the very large hail/brief tornado in Kearney County), but these storms were soon ingested by the surging QLCS. Between 6-7 p.m. CDT this complex surged across the Highway 281 corridor while a new cluster of severe convection flared up just ahead its southern edge mainly over Webster/Clay/Nuckolls counties. Finally, between 7-8 p.m. CDT, the southern portion of the QLCS (with an embedded supercell) took center stage, wreaking havoc upon the Clay/Fillmore/Thayer counties area with damaging winds before exiting the local domain into southeast Nebraska. During this same time frame, the northern portion of the QLCS (near/north of Interstate 80) prevailed weaker in nature and yielded few storm reports, but did drop quarter size hail near Shelby before exiting the coverage area. Finishing with a closer look at the meteorological situation, overall this was a prime springtime severe thunderstorm setup. In the mid-upper levels, a strong, slightly negatively-tilted shortwave trough ejected out of the Rockies and across the heart of Nebraska/northern Kansas over the course of the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the primary low pressure center drifted slowly eastward across northern Kansas, with a fairly well-defined warm front taking shape along the NE/KS border ahead of it and a sharp cold front/dryline combination surging in behind it. Despite a somewhat marginal thermodynamic environment featuring surface temperatures only in the 70s (F) and dewpoints only upper 50s-low 60s, steep mid-level lapse rates prompted healthy instability with mixed-layer CAPE peaking as high as 1500-3000 J/kg mainly along/south of the I-80 corridor. Deep-layer shear was modestly-strong (as high as 40-50 knots) and storms entered an increasingly-volatile low-level shear environment as they worked east of Highway 281, with southern portions of the QLCS encountering significant 0-1 kilometer storm relative helicity (SRH) of 200-300 m2/s2 (corresponding to the area of greatest wind damage). From a forecast perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's Day 3 Outlook (issued on the 27th) already introduced an Enhanced Risk of severe weather (level 3 of 5) for far southeast portions of South Central Nebraska. Then, on the morning of the 29th, roughly the southeast quadrant of the area was upgraded to Moderate Risk (level 4 of 5).

Within the aforementioned longer corridor of damage extending along a line from Sherman through Nuckolls/Thayer counties, a sampling of some of the more noteworthy reports included: 2.5-3.5 diameter hail and 70 MPH winds in the Litchfield and Hazard areas (considerable window/siding damage); hail stones 2-4 diameter through the Ravenna/Pleasanton areas (considerable window/siding damage including shattered windows on a few fire trucks); combo of hail 1.75-2.50 diameter and measured 66 MPH winds in Hastings (considerable window/siding damage especially on north/west sides of the city); widespread 60-70 MPH winds through southern/western Clay County with over a dozen toppled irrigation pivots; wood frame outbuilding destroyed and a semi truck overturned near Hebron. Within the shorter swath of concentrated damage that tore through Hamilton/York/Fillmore counties, various reports included: a semi truck blown over on Interstate 80 and areas of complete crop destruction and many overturned irrigation pivots due to a combo of 60-70 MPH winds and hail up to 2 diameter (particularly in the Hampton, Henderson and McCool Junction areas). While these two main swaths accounted for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska storm reports during the evening, there were also a few more isolated pockets of severe weather well-removed from both of them. These included a mesonet-measured 64 MPH wind gust near Lexington and also a handful of reports associated with a supercell that barely skirted the northeast fringes of the local area (including golf ball size hail near Genoa and a measured 65 MPH gust near Shelby (with pivots reported overturned). ||Examining event evolution/timing, the first scattered storms of the evening (initially non-severe) formed between 6-7 p.m. CDT along a west-east oriented band across far northern local counties. Then, the action really ramped up/intensified during the next hour as: 1) a long-lived supercell that developed several hours prior in the northern NE Panhandle entered the local area into Sherman County (the beginning stages of the primary swath of severe weather)...2) a new intense supercell flared up over central/eastern Hamilton County (along the southern fringes of the initial weak northern activity)...3) another comparably shorter-lived supercell developed out of the eastern fringes of the northern storms and clipped the northeast fringes of the local area in Nance/Merrick/Polk counties. Between 8-10 p.m. CDT, the two primary South Central Nebraska supercells continued east-southeast, with the eastern one exiting the local area out of York/Fillmore counties, while the western one gradually merged with a developing convective line that extended off to its west-southwest. Shortly after this powerful storm tore through eastern Adams/western Clay counties, a gradual storm mode transition from semi-discrete supercell to small-scale severe QLCS was complete, leading to a reduced large hail threat but a continued threat of damaging winds (along with the aforementioned tornado). Finally, between 10-11 p.m. CDT the main QLCS segment over Thayer County, along with weaker linear storms trailing westward along the Nebraska-Kansas border, completely exited South Central Nebraska to the south-southeast, ending a very active 3-4 hours. Wrapping up with a closer look at the meteorological setup, this event was the grand finale to a multiple-day stretch of at least spotty severe storms within South Central Nebraska. But compared to prior days, forcing was stronger both aloft and at the surface, leading to an overall-more impactful event. In the mid-upper levels, west-northwest flow prevailed, featuring a fairly potent (albeit low amplitude) shortwave trough zipping eastward across northern NE/southern SD during the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the day began with an initially weakly-defined, west-east oriented front draped across southern portions of the local area. But during the evening, this boundary sharpened up and made a more pronounced southward surge into Kansas in response to a combination of pressure rises driven by the aforementioned upper wave and also convective outflow. Although quite a bit of daytime cloud cover helped hold afternoon temperatures across most of South Central Nebraska down in the mid-upper 70s (F) and low level moisture levels were only only seasonably-modest (dewpoints low-mid 60s F), an impressive combination of strong deep layer wind shear of at least 50-60 knots and mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg clearly supported higher-end severe weather. From a forecast/messaging perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's second Day 2 Outlook (issued on the 6th) upgraded most of South Central Nebraska to an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5), with this Enhanced category then maintained throughout the subsequent Day 1 cycle. Wind gusts were estimated to be near 70 MPH.

For being such a widespread event (the majority of the 24 counties experienced at least limited severe weather) it was fairly quick-evolving and quick-hitting, as all local storms occurred within a 4.5-hour span between 3:30-8 p.m. CDT. Convective mode was a potent, but messy mix consisting primarily of an eastward-charging quasi-linear convective system (QLCS), but also a few briefly-discrete supercells that flared up just ahead of the QLCS (and were subsequently overtaken by it), along with at least one supercell structure embedded within the southern reaches of the QLCS. Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the four tornadoes, the first two (both with no known damage) touched down briefly in southwestern Harlan County, spawned by the first (and most isolated) supercell of the day. A short time later, another brief tornado (also no damage reported) was spotted in south central Kearney County, associated with a supercell that initiated just ahead of the approaching QLCS. The fourth tornado, though only rated EF-0, was the most noteworthy one as it developed along the far southern fringes of the QLCS in the Ruskin-Deshler area, overturning several pivots and damaging an outbuilding along a nearly five mile path. However, by far the biggest story of the day was significant straight-line wind damage. Though sporadic pockets of damage occurred in western counties, by far the most concentrated swaths focused within the following counties: Adams, Nuckolls, Thayer and especially Clay/Fillmore. This was due to a combination of the QLCS peaking in intensity over this area, along with it containing the embedded supercell. The most notable corridor of destructive winds took aim on southeastern Clay, southwestern Fillmore and northern Thayer counties. To mention just a few storm reports from this zone: at least 250 irrigation pivots toppled; several grain bins and a few outbuildings destroyed; unofficial mesonet-measured wind gusts as high as 91 MPH near Davenport and 78 MPH near Shickley. Outside of this worst-hit area (and farther north/west): a sampling of thunderstorm wind issues included: estimated 75 MPH gusts that derailed approximately 15 train cars near Shelton, estimated winds of 65-70 MPH in the Minden and Hastings areas (downed trees in Minden and a small-but-sturdy storage shed blown from behind a home into a front yard in south Hastings); measured gusts of 64 MPH as far north as Ord and 61 MPH as far west as Bertrand. Although taking a back seat to damaging winds due to being more localized, several large hail reports came in from various counties, including some very large stones to at least tennis ball size. The majority of the largest hail occurred with the first supercell of the day in Furnas County, including up to baseball size south of Holbrook and tennis ball size in Beaver City/Hollinger. However, the outright-biggest stone of the event measured 4 inches in diameter, plunging earthward several miles southwest of Minden. On the less extreme side of things, ping pong ball to golf ball size hail fell in various locations including Kearney, Minden and Alma. ||Taking a closer look at event evolution/timing, the first supercell initiated over northern Furnas County around 3:30 p.m. CDT, forming on a classic surface triple point...slightly north-northwest of strong low pressure (992 millibars) centered over north central Kansas. For a short time this storm was the only show locally, drifting slowly southeastward and dropping large hail and brief tornadoes. However, by 4:30 p.m. CDT, a north-south oriented linear system was already into Dawson/Gosper counties, driven eastward by strong convergence along an accelerating cold front. Between 5-6 p.m. CDT a few supercells/discrete multicells briefly developed over Kearney/Buffalo counties (including the one that produced the very large hail/brief tornado in Kearney County), but these storms were soon ingested by the surging QLCS. Between 6-7 p.m. CDT this complex surged across the Highway 281 corridor while a new cluster of severe convection flared up just ahead its southern edge mainly over Webster/Clay/Nuckolls counties. Finally, between 7-8 p.m. CDT, the southern portion of the QLCS (with an embedded supercell) took center stage, wreaking havoc upon the Clay/Fillmore/Thayer counties area with damaging winds before exiting the local domain into southeast Nebraska. During this same time frame, the northern portion of the QLCS (near/north of Interstate 80) prevailed weaker in nature and yielded few storm reports, but did drop quarter size hail near Shelby before exiting the coverage area. Finishing with a closer look at the meteorological situation, overall this was a prime springtime severe thunderstorm setup. In the mid-upper levels, a strong, slightly negatively-tilted shortwave trough ejected out of the Rockies and across the heart of Nebraska/northern Kansas over the course of the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the primary low pressure center drifted slowly eastward across northern Kansas, with a fairly well-defined warm front taking shape along the NE/KS border ahead of it and a sharp cold front/dryline combination surging in behind it. Despite a somewhat marginal thermodynamic environment featuring surface temperatures only in the 70s (F) and dewpoints only upper 50s-low 60s, steep mid-level lapse rates prompted healthy instability with mixed-layer CAPE peaking as high as 1500-3000 J/kg mainly along/south of the I-80 corridor. Deep-layer shear was modestly-strong (as high as 40-50 knots) and storms entered an increasingly-volatile low-level shear environment as they worked east of Highway 281, with southern portions of the QLCS encountering significant 0-1 kilometer storm relative helicity (SRH) of 200-300 m2/s2 (corresponding to the area of greatest wind damage). From a forecast perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's Day 3 Outlook (issued on the 27th) already introduced an Enhanced Risk of severe weather (level 3 of 5) for far southeast portions of South Central Nebraska. Then, on the morning of the 29th, roughly the southeast quadrant of the area was upgraded to Moderate Risk (level 4 of 5).

The other notable (but shorter-in-length) swath of storm damage wrought havoc across parts of eastern Hamilton, southern/western York and northern Fillmore counties. Within each of these corridors, there were numerous reports of severe winds and/or large hail (some at least 2-3 inch diameter), causing countless instances of damage such as: broken windows in homes and vehicles, significant damage to siding/roofs, innumerable flipped irrigation pivots, and the destruction of many thousands of acres of young crops.

In addition to the considerable hail/damaging winds that impacted several counties, one QLCS tornado was also confirmed in Nuckolls/Thayer counties (rated EF-0). This event marked the fourth-consecutive day of severe storms within the 24-county area, and was the overall most significant round of all.

However, by far the biggest impacts of the evening resulted from large hail/damaging winds. Within the aforementioned longer corridor of damage extending along a line from Sherman through Nuckolls/Thayer counties, a sampling of some of the more noteworthy reports included: 2.5-3.5 diameter hail and 70 MPH winds in the Litchfield and Hazard areas (considerable window/siding damage); hail stones 2-4 diameter through the Ravenna/Pleasanton areas (considerable window/siding damage including shattered windows on a few fire trucks); combo of hail 1.75-2.50 diameter and measured 66 MPH winds in Hastings (considerable window/siding damage especially on north/west sides of the city); widespread 60-70 MPH winds through southern/western Clay County with over a dozen toppled irrigation pivots; wood frame outbuilding destroyed and a semi truck overturned near Hebron. Within the shorter swath of concentrated damage that tore through Hamilton/York/Fillmore counties, various reports included: a semi truck blown over on Interstate 80 and areas of complete crop destruction and many overturned irrigation pivots due to a combo of 60-70 MPH winds and hail up to 2 diameter (particularly in the Hampton, Henderson and McCool Junction areas). While these two main swaths accounted for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska storm reports during the evening, there were also a few more isolated pockets of severe weather well-removed from both of them. These included a mesonet-measured 64 MPH wind gust near Lexington and also a handful of reports associated with a supercell that barely skirted the northeast fringes of the local area (including golf ball size hail near Genoa and a measured 65 MPH gust near Shelby (with pivots reported overturned). ||Examining event evolution/timing, the first scattered storms of the evening (initially non-severe) formed between 6-7 p.m. CDT along a west-east oriented band across far northern local counties. Then, the action really ramped up/intensified during the next hour as: 1) a long-lived supercell that developed several hours prior in the northern NE Panhandle entered the local area into Sherman County (the beginning stages of the primary swath of severe weather)...2) a new intense supercell flared up over central/eastern Hamilton County (along the southern fringes of the initial weak northern activity)...3) another comparably shorter-lived supercell developed out of the eastern fringes of the northern storms and clipped the northeast fringes of the local area in Nance/Merrick/Polk counties. Between 8-10 p.m. CDT, the two primary South Central Nebraska supercells continued east-southeast, with the eastern one exiting the local area out of York/Fillmore counties, while the western one gradually merged with a developing convective line that extended off to its west-southwest. Shortly after this powerful storm tore through eastern Adams/western Clay counties, a gradual storm mode transition from semi-discrete supercell to small-scale severe QLCS was complete, leading to a reduced large hail threat but a continued threat of damaging winds (along with the aforementioned tornado). Finally, between 10-11 p.m. CDT the main QLCS segment over Thayer County, along with weaker linear storms trailing westward along the Nebraska-Kansas border, completely exited South Central Nebraska to the south-southeast, ending a very active 3-4 hours. Wrapping up with a closer look at the meteorological setup, this event was the grand finale to a multiple-day stretch of at least spotty severe storms within South Central Nebraska. But compared to prior days, forcing was stronger both aloft and at the surface, leading to an overall-more impactful event. In the mid-upper levels, west-northwest flow prevailed, featuring a fairly potent (albeit low amplitude) shortwave trough zipping eastward across northern NE/southern SD during the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the day began with an initially weakly-defined, west-east oriented front draped across southern portions of the local area. But during the evening, this boundary sharpened up and made a more pronounced southward surge into Kansas in response to a combination of pressure rises driven by the aforementioned upper wave and also convective outflow. Although quite a bit of daytime cloud cover helped hold afternoon temperatures across most of South Central Nebraska down in the mid-upper 70s (F) and low level moisture levels were only only seasonably-modest (dewpoints low-mid 60s F), an impressive combination of strong deep layer wind shear of at least 50-60 knots and mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg clearly supported higher-end severe weather. From a forecast/messaging perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's second Day 2 Outlook (issued on the 6th) upgraded most of South Central Nebraska to an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5), with this Enhanced category then maintained throughout the subsequent Day 1 cycle.

For being such a widespread event (the majority of the 24 counties experienced at least limited severe weather) it was fairly quick-evolving and quick-hitting, as all local storms occurred within a 4.5-hour span between 3:30-8 p.m. CDT. Convective mode was a potent, but messy mix consisting primarily of an eastward-charging quasi-linear convective system (QLCS), but also a few briefly-discrete supercells that flared up just ahead of the QLCS (and were subsequently overtaken by it), along with at least one supercell structure embedded within the southern reaches of the QLCS. Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the four tornadoes, the first two (both with no known damage) touched down briefly in southwestern Harlan County, spawned by the first (and most isolated) supercell of the day. A short time later, another brief tornado (also no damage reported) was spotted in south central Kearney County, associated with a supercell that initiated just ahead of the approaching QLCS. The fourth tornado, though only rated EF-0, was the most noteworthy one as it developed along the far southern fringes of the QLCS in the Ruskin-Deshler area, overturning several pivots and damaging an outbuilding along a nearly five mile path. However, by far the biggest story of the day was significant straight-line wind damage. Though sporadic pockets of damage occurred in western counties, by far the most concentrated swaths focused within the following counties: Adams, Nuckolls, Thayer and especially Clay/Fillmore. This was due to a combination of the QLCS peaking in intensity over this area, along with it containing the embedded supercell. The most notable corridor of destructive winds took aim on southeastern Clay, southwestern Fillmore and northern Thayer counties. To mention just a few storm reports from this zone: at least 250 irrigation pivots toppled; several grain bins and a few outbuildings destroyed; unofficial mesonet-measured wind gusts as high as 91 MPH near Davenport and 78 MPH near Shickley. Outside of this worst-hit area (and farther north/west): a sampling of thunderstorm wind issues included: estimated 75 MPH gusts that derailed approximately 15 train cars near Shelton, estimated winds of 65-70 MPH in the Minden and Hastings areas (downed trees in Minden and a small-but-sturdy storage shed blown from behind a home into a front yard in south Hastings); measured gusts of 64 MPH as far north as Ord and 61 MPH as far west as Bertrand. Although taking a back seat to damaging winds due to being more localized, several large hail reports came in from various counties, including some very large stones to at least tennis ball size. The majority of the largest hail occurred with the first supercell of the day in Furnas County, including up to baseball size south of Holbrook and tennis ball size in Beaver City/Hollinger. However, the outright-biggest stone of the event measured 4 inches in diameter, plunging earthward several miles southwest of Minden. On the less extreme side of things, ping pong ball to golf ball size hail fell in various locations including Kearney, Minden and Alma. ||Taking a closer look at event evolution/timing, the first supercell initiated over northern Furnas County around 3:30 p.m. CDT, forming on a classic surface triple point...slightly north-northwest of strong low pressure (992 millibars) centered over north central Kansas. For a short time this storm was the only show locally, drifting slowly southeastward and dropping large hail and brief tornadoes. However, by 4:30 p.m. CDT, a north-south oriented linear system was already into Dawson/Gosper counties, driven eastward by strong convergence along an accelerating cold front. Between 5-6 p.m. CDT a few supercells/discrete multicells briefly developed over Kearney/Buffalo counties (including the one that produced the very large hail/brief tornado in Kearney County), but these storms were soon ingested by the surging QLCS. Between 6-7 p.m. CDT this complex surged across the Highway 281 corridor while a new cluster of severe convection flared up just ahead its southern edge mainly over Webster/Clay/Nuckolls counties. Finally, between 7-8 p.m. CDT, the southern portion of the QLCS (with an embedded supercell) took center stage, wreaking havoc upon the Clay/Fillmore/Thayer counties area with damaging winds before exiting the local domain into southeast Nebraska. During this same time frame, the northern portion of the QLCS (near/north of Interstate 80) prevailed weaker in nature and yielded few storm reports, but did drop quarter size hail near Shelby before exiting the coverage area. Finishing with a closer look at the meteorological situation, overall this was a prime springtime severe thunderstorm setup. In the mid-upper levels, a strong, slightly negatively-tilted shortwave trough ejected out of the Rockies and across the heart of Nebraska/northern Kansas over the course of the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the primary low pressure center drifted slowly eastward across northern Kansas, with a fairly well-defined warm front taking shape along the NE/KS border ahead of it and a sharp cold front/dryline combination surging in behind it. Despite a somewhat marginal thermodynamic environment featuring surface temperatures only in the 70s (F) and dewpoints only upper 50s-low 60s, steep mid-level lapse rates prompted healthy instability with mixed-layer CAPE peaking as high as 1500-3000 J/kg mainly along/south of the I-80 corridor. Deep-layer shear was modestly-strong (as high as 40-50 knots) and storms entered an increasingly-volatile low-level shear environment as they worked east of Highway 281, with southern portions of the QLCS encountering significant 0-1 kilometer storm relative helicity (SRH) of 200-300 m2/s2 (corresponding to the area of greatest wind damage). From a forecast perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's Day 3 Outlook (issued on the 27th) already introduced an Enhanced Risk of severe weather (level 3 of 5) for far southeast portions of South Central Nebraska. Then, on the morning of the 29th, roughly the southeast quadrant of the area was upgraded to Moderate Risk (level 4 of 5). Wind gusts estimated to be near 75 MPH resulted in the destruction of a grain bin, with its debris scattered.

The primary/longest corridor of severe weather primarily impacted the the following local counties: southern/western Sherman, northern/eastern Buffalo, southern/western Hall, northern/eastern Adams (including Hastings), southern/western Clay and much of Nuckolls/Thayer. The other notable (but shorter-in-length) swath of storm damage wrought havoc across parts of eastern Hamilton, southern/western York and northern Fillmore counties. Within each of these corridors, there were numerous reports of severe winds and/or large hail (some at least 2-3 inch diameter), causing countless instances of damage such as: broken windows in homes and vehicles, significant damage to siding/roofs, innumerable flipped irrigation pivots, and the destruction of many thousands of acres of young crops. In addition to the considerable hail/damaging winds that impacted several counties, one QLCS tornado was also confirmed in Nuckolls/Thayer counties (rated EF-0). This event marked the fourth-consecutive day of severe storms within the 24-county area, and was the overall most significant round of all. Duration-wise, this event was actually fairly quick-hitting, with all South Central Nebraska severe storms unfolding during a 3.5 hour span between 7:00-10:30 p.m. CDT...starting off in northern counties and eventually exiting far south-southeast counties. ||Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the QLCS EF-0 tornado, it was determined to have tracked for nearly 10 miles through southeastern Nuckolls/southwestern Thayer counties shortly before 10 p.m. CDT, causing tree damage in Ruskin and then destroying/damaging several grain bins, irrigation pivots and a few outbuildings before lifting north of Byron. However, by far the biggest impacts of the evening resulted from large hail/damaging winds. Within the aforementioned longer corridor of damage extending along a line from Sherman through Nuckolls/Thayer counties, a sampling of some of the more noteworthy reports included: 2.5-3.5 diameter hail and 70 MPH winds in the Litchfield and Hazard areas (considerable window/siding damage); hail stones 2-4 diameter through the Ravenna/Pleasanton areas (considerable window/siding damage including shattered windows on a few fire trucks); combo of hail 1.75-2.50 diameter and measured 66 MPH winds in Hastings (considerable window/siding damage especially on north/west sides of the city); widespread 60-70 MPH winds through southern/western Clay County with over a dozen toppled irrigation pivots; wood frame outbuilding destroyed and a semi truck overturned near Hebron. Within the shorter swath of concentrated damage that tore through Hamilton/York/Fillmore counties, various reports included: a semi truck blown over on Interstate 80 and areas of complete crop destruction and many overturned irrigation pivots due to a combo of 60-70 MPH winds and hail up to 2 diameter (particularly in the Hampton, Henderson and McCool Junction areas). While these two main swaths accounted for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska storm reports during the evening, there were also a few more isolated pockets of severe weather well-removed from both of them. These included a mesonet-measured 64 MPH wind gust near Lexington and also a handful of reports associated with a supercell that barely skirted the northeast fringes of the local area (including golf ball size hail near Genoa and a measured 65 MPH gust near Shelby (with pivots reported overturned). ||Examining event evolution/timing, the first scattered storms of the evening (initially non-severe) formed between 6-7 p.m. CDT along a west-east oriented band across far northern local counties. Then, the action really ramped up/intensified during the next hour as: 1) a long-lived supercell that developed several hours prior in the northern NE Panhandle entered the local area into Sherman County (the beginning stages of the primary swath of severe weather)...2) a new intense supercell flared up over central/eastern Hamilton County (along the southern fringes of the initial weak northern activity)...3) another comparably shorter-lived supercell developed out of the eastern fringes of the northern storms and clipped the northeast fringes of the local area in Nance/Merrick/Polk counties. Between 8-10 p.m. CDT, the two primary South Central Nebraska supercells continued east-southeast, with the eastern one exiting the local area out of York/Fillmore counties, while the western one gradually merged with a developing convective line that extended off to its west-southwest. Shortly after this powerful storm tore through eastern Adams/western Clay counties, a gradual storm mode transition from semi-discrete supercell to small-scale severe QLCS was complete, leading to a reduced large hail threat but a continued threat of damaging winds (along with the aforementioned tornado). Finally, between 10-11 p.m. CDT the main QLCS segment over Thayer County, along with weaker linear storms trailing westward along the Nebraska-Kansas border, completely exited South Central Nebraska to the south-southeast, ending a very active 3-4 hours. Wrapping up with a closer look at the meteorological setup, this event was the grand finale to a multiple-day stretch of at least spotty severe storms within South Central Nebraska. But compared to prior days, forcing was stronger both aloft and at the surface, leading to an overall-more impactful event. In the mid-upper levels, west-northwest flow prevailed, featuring a fairly potent (albeit low amplitude) shortwave trough zipping eastward across northern NE/southern SD during the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the day began with an initially weakly-defined, west-east oriented front draped across southern portions of the local area. But during the evening, this boundary sharpened up and made a more pronounced southward surge into Kansas in response to a combination of pressure rises driven by the aforementioned upper wave and also convective outflow. Although quite a bit of daytime cloud cover helped hold afternoon temperatures across most of South Central Nebraska down in the mid-upper 70s (F) and low level moisture levels were only only seasonably-modest (dewpoints low-mid 60s F), an impressive combination of strong deep layer wind shear of at least 50-60 knots and mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg clearly supported higher-end severe weather. From a forecast/messaging perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's second Day 2 Outlook (issued on the 6th) upgraded most of South Central Nebraska to an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5), with this Enhanced category then maintained throughout the subsequent Day 1 cycle. Wind gusts exceeding 60 MPH were reported all across the city of Hastings. Peak measured wind gusts included 66 MPH at the Hastings Airport ASOS and 59 MPH by a mesonet station located on the far eastern edge of Hastings. This wind was accompanied by hail as large as golf ball size to 2.5 inches in diameter.

In the mid-upper levels, a strong, slightly negatively-tilted shortwave trough ejected out of the Rockies and across the heart of Nebraska/northern Kansas over the course of the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the primary low pressure center drifted slowly eastward across northern Kansas, with a fairly well-defined warm front taking shape along the NE/KS border ahead of it and a sharp cold front/dryline combination surging in behind it. Despite a somewhat marginal thermodynamic environment featuring surface temperatures only in the 70s (F) and dewpoints only upper 50s-low 60s, steep mid-level lapse rates prompted healthy instability with mixed-layer CAPE peaking as high as 1500-3000 J/kg mainly along/south of the I-80 corridor. Deep-layer shear was modestly-strong (as high as 40-50 knots) and storms entered an increasingly-volatile low-level shear environment as they worked east of Highway 281, with southern portions of the QLCS encountering significant 0-1 kilometer storm relative helicity (SRH) of 200-300 m2/s2 (corresponding to the area of greatest wind damage).

A large swath of wind gusts estimated to be between 70 and 85 MPH, with localized gusts near 95 MPH, swept across far southeastern Clay County into southern Fillmore County. Along and near this path, widespread tree damage and power outages occurred, with emergency management reporting at least 250 pivots overturned. Numerous power poles were snapped, several grain bins were destroyed, and a few outbuildings were destroyed. The strongest of these gusts concentrated in an area from near the Clay-Fillmore County line west of Shickley to approximately three miles northeast of Shickley. This area had the majority of the power pole, grain bin, and outbuilding damage.

The primary/longest corridor of severe weather primarily impacted the the following local counties: southern/western Sherman, northern/eastern Buffalo, southern/western Hall, northern/eastern Adams (including Hastings), southern/western Clay and much of Nuckolls/Thayer. The other notable (but shorter-in-length) swath of storm damage wrought havoc across parts of eastern Hamilton, southern/western York and northern Fillmore counties. Within each of these corridors, there were numerous reports of severe winds and/or large hail (some at least 2-3 inch diameter), causing countless instances of damage such as: broken windows in homes and vehicles, significant damage to siding/roofs, innumerable flipped irrigation pivots, and the destruction of many thousands of acres of young crops. In addition to the considerable hail/damaging winds that impacted several counties, one QLCS tornado was also confirmed in Nuckolls/Thayer counties (rated EF-0). This event marked the fourth-consecutive day of severe storms within the 24-county area, and was the overall most significant round of all. Duration-wise, this event was actually fairly quick-hitting, with all South Central Nebraska severe storms unfolding during a 3.5 hour span between 7:00-10:30 p.m. CDT...starting off in northern counties and eventually exiting far south-southeast counties. ||Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the QLCS EF-0 tornado, it was determined to have tracked for nearly 10 miles through southeastern Nuckolls/southwestern Thayer counties shortly before 10 p.m. CDT, causing tree damage in Ruskin and then destroying/damaging several grain bins, irrigation pivots and a few outbuildings before lifting north of Byron. However, by far the biggest impacts of the evening resulted from large hail/damaging winds. Within the aforementioned longer corridor of damage extending along a line from Sherman through Nuckolls/Thayer counties, a sampling of some of the more noteworthy reports included: 2.5-3.5 diameter hail and 70 MPH winds in the Litchfield and Hazard areas (considerable window/siding damage); hail stones 2-4 diameter through the Ravenna/Pleasanton areas (considerable window/siding damage including shattered windows on a few fire trucks); combo of hail 1.75-2.50 diameter and measured 66 MPH winds in Hastings (considerable window/siding damage especially on north/west sides of the city); widespread 60-70 MPH winds through southern/western Clay County with over a dozen toppled irrigation pivots; wood frame outbuilding destroyed and a semi truck overturned near Hebron. Within the shorter swath of concentrated damage that tore through Hamilton/York/Fillmore counties, various reports included: a semi truck blown over on Interstate 80 and areas of complete crop destruction and many overturned irrigation pivots due to a combo of 60-70 MPH winds and hail up to 2 diameter (particularly in the Hampton, Henderson and McCool Junction areas). While these two main swaths accounted for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska storm reports during the evening, there were also a few more isolated pockets of severe weather well-removed from both of them. These included a mesonet-measured 64 MPH wind gust near Lexington and also a handful of reports associated with a supercell that barely skirted the northeast fringes of the local area (including golf ball size hail near Genoa and a measured 65 MPH gust near Shelby (with pivots reported overturned). ||Examining event evolution/timing, the first scattered storms of the evening (initially non-severe) formed between 6-7 p.m. CDT along a west-east oriented band across far northern local counties. Then, the action really ramped up/intensified during the next hour as: 1) a long-lived supercell that developed several hours prior in the northern NE Panhandle entered the local area into Sherman County (the beginning stages of the primary swath of severe weather)...2) a new intense supercell flared up over central/eastern Hamilton County (along the southern fringes of the initial weak northern activity)...3) another comparably shorter-lived supercell developed out of the eastern fringes of the northern storms and clipped the northeast fringes of the local area in Nance/Merrick/Polk counties. Between 8-10 p.m. CDT, the two primary South Central Nebraska supercells continued east-southeast, with the eastern one exiting the local area out of York/Fillmore counties, while the western one gradually merged with a developing convective line that extended off to its west-southwest. Shortly after this powerful storm tore through eastern Adams/western Clay counties, a gradual storm mode transition from semi-discrete supercell to small-scale severe QLCS was complete, leading to a reduced large hail threat but a continued threat of damaging winds (along with the aforementioned tornado). Finally, between 10-11 p.m. CDT the main QLCS segment over Thayer County, along with weaker linear storms trailing westward along the Nebraska-Kansas border, completely exited South Central Nebraska to the south-southeast, ending a very active 3-4 hours. Wrapping up with a closer look at the meteorological setup, this event was the grand finale to a multiple-day stretch of at least spotty severe storms within South Central Nebraska. But compared to prior days, forcing was stronger both aloft and at the surface, leading to an overall-more impactful event. In the mid-upper levels, west-northwest flow prevailed, featuring a fairly potent (albeit low amplitude) shortwave trough zipping eastward across northern NE/southern SD during the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the day began with an initially weakly-defined, west-east oriented front draped across southern portions of the local area. But during the evening, this boundary sharpened up and made a more pronounced southward surge into Kansas in response to a combination of pressure rises driven by the aforementioned upper wave and also convective outflow. Although quite a bit of daytime cloud cover helped hold afternoon temperatures across most of South Central Nebraska down in the mid-upper 70s (F) and low level moisture levels were only only seasonably-modest (dewpoints low-mid 60s F), an impressive combination of strong deep layer wind shear of at least 50-60 knots and mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg clearly supported higher-end severe weather. From a forecast/messaging perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's second Day 2 Outlook (issued on the 6th) upgraded most of South Central Nebraska to an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5), with this Enhanced category then maintained throughout the subsequent Day 1 cycle.

This event began well west and northwest of the Hastings County Warning Area (CWA), within the Nebraska Panhandle, during the late afternoon and early evening hours as a small cluster of thunderstorms. These thunderstorms became severe at various points during their eastward track across the Nebraska Sandhills through the evening, but it wasn���t until they reached the North Platte and Broken Bow areas around 9PM CDT that they became significantly organized and severe. This activity quickly moved into W and NW portions of the CWA between 9-10PM CDT, with the strongest thunderstorms and associated wind gusts focused across Dawson County. Wind gusts of 65 MPH to nearly 80 MPH were common across the county, which resulted in widespread tree damage and numerous power outages. Activity quickly grew upscale in terms of coverage and intensity as it shifted SE, and by 10 PM CDT, there was a solid line of thunderstorms from Nance County to Buffalo County to northern Gosper County that would prove to become a prolific damaging wind producer over the next couple of hours, including for the three largest cities in the Hastings CWA - Kearney, Grand Island, and Hastings. Wind gusts of 60-80 MPH were either reported or estimated in all of these areas. Not surprisingly, impacts were fairly significant, especially in terms of the overall scope of tree damage and power outages, including snapped power poles and healthy trees that were snapped off near the ground. Some of the trees fell onto homes and vehicles. In Kearney, a roof was partially torn off a movie theater, which also led to extensive water damage due to the torrential rain. Conditions became treacherous along Interstate 80 as the strong wind gusts on the leading edge of the thunderstorms led to overturned semi-trucks, other trailers, and campers, as well as very limited visibility due to blowing dust. As the line of thunderstorms moved east of Highway 281, some localized corridors of particularly intense winds, observed or estimated to be as high as 80-95 MPH, developed across portions of eastern Hall County, southern Hamilton County, and northern Clay County between 10:30-11:30 PM CDT. The most intense wind occurred in a swath from around Central Nebraska Regional Airport, where an 84 MPH gust was measured, southeast towards areas near and south of Aurora, to near Giltner. Damage in these areas included: significant tree and power line damage, snapped power poles, flattened crops, overturned pivots, damaged or destroyed grain bins and outbuildings, and two blown over semi-trucks on Interstate 80. Some tree limbs fell on cars and buildings, and some minor roof and window damage occurred to a few businesses. Perhaps the most impressive damage was downed high-voltage transmission lines approximately 4 miles south of Aurora where they cross Interstate 80. This led to traffic issues in the area for a time. Similar tree, power line, crop, irrigation pivot, and grain bin/outbuilding damage was reported in portions of Clay County. The line of thunderstorms weakened slightly as they shifted E and SE towards the Highway 81 corridor between 11PM and midnight, though gusts of 65-75 MPH were still reported in York, Fillmore, and Thayer Counties.

This event began well west and northwest of the Hastings County Warning Area (CWA), within the Nebraska Panhandle, during the late afternoon and early evening hours as a small cluster of thunderstorms. These thunderstorms became severe at various points during their eastward track across the Nebraska Sandhills through the evening, but it wasn���t until they reached the North Platte and Broken Bow areas around 9PM CDT that they became significantly organized and severe. This activity quickly moved into W and NW portions of the CWA between 9-10PM CDT, with the strongest thunderstorms and associated wind gusts focused across Dawson County. Wind gusts of 65 MPH to nearly 80 MPH were common across the county, which resulted in widespread tree damage and numerous power outages. Activity quickly grew upscale in terms of coverage and intensity as it shifted SE, and by 10 PM CDT, there was a solid line of thunderstorms from Nance County to Buffalo County to northern Gosper County that would prove to become a prolific damaging wind producer over the next couple of hours, including for the three largest cities in the Hastings CWA - Kearney, Grand Island, and Hastings. Wind gusts of 60-80 MPH were either reported or estimated in all of these areas. Not surprisingly, impacts were fairly significant, especially in terms of the overall scope of tree damage and power outages, including snapped power poles and healthy trees that were snapped off near the ground. Some of the trees fell onto homes and vehicles. In Kearney, a roof was partially torn off a movie theater, which also led to extensive water damage due to the torrential rain. Conditions became treacherous along Interstate 80 as the strong wind gusts on the leading edge of the thunderstorms led to overturned semi-trucks, other trailers, and campers, as well as very limited visibility due to blowing dust. As the line of thunderstorms moved east of Highway 281, some localized corridors of particularly intense winds, observed or estimated to be as high as 80-95 MPH, developed across portions of eastern Hall County, southern Hamilton County, and northern Clay County between 10:30-11:30 PM CDT. The most intense wind occurred in a swath from around Central Nebraska Regional Airport, where an 84 MPH gust was measured, southeast towards areas near and south of Aurora, to near Giltner. Damage in these areas included: significant tree and power line damage, snapped power poles, flattened crops, overturned pivots, damaged or destroyed grain bins and outbuildings, and two blown over semi-trucks on Interstate 80. Some tree limbs fell on cars and buildings, and some minor roof and window damage occurred to a few businesses.

For being such a widespread event (the majority of the 24 counties experienced at least limited severe weather) it was fairly quick-evolving and quick-hitting, as all local storms occurred within a 4.5-hour span between 3:30-8 p.m. CDT. Convective mode was a potent, but messy mix consisting primarily of an eastward-charging quasi-linear convective system (QLCS), but also a few briefly-discrete supercells that flared up just ahead of the QLCS (and were subsequently overtaken by it), along with at least one supercell structure embedded within the southern reaches of the QLCS. Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the four tornadoes, the first two (both with no known damage) touched down briefly in southwestern Harlan County, spawned by the first (and most isolated) supercell of the day. A short time later, another brief tornado (also no damage reported) was spotted in south central Kearney County, associated with a supercell that initiated just ahead of the approaching QLCS. The fourth tornado, though only rated EF-0, was the most noteworthy one as it developed along the far southern fringes of the QLCS in the Ruskin-Deshler area, overturning several pivots and damaging an outbuilding along a nearly five mile path. However, by far the biggest story of the day was significant straight-line wind damage. Though sporadic pockets of damage occurred in western counties, by far the most concentrated swaths focused within the following counties: Adams, Nuckolls, Thayer and especially Clay/Fillmore. This was due to a combination of the QLCS peaking in intensity over this area, along with it containing the embedded supercell. The most notable corridor of destructive winds took aim on southeastern Clay, southwestern Fillmore and northern Thayer counties. To mention just a few storm reports from this zone: at least 250 irrigation pivots toppled; several grain bins and a few outbuildings destroyed; unofficial mesonet-measured wind gusts as high as 91 MPH near Davenport and 78 MPH near Shickley. Outside of this worst-hit area (and farther north/west): a sampling of thunderstorm wind issues included: estimated 75 MPH gusts that derailed approximately 15 train cars near Shelton, estimated winds of 65-70 MPH in the Minden and Hastings areas (downed trees in Minden and a small-but-sturdy storage shed blown from behind a home into a front yard in south Hastings); measured gusts of 64 MPH as far north as Ord and 61 MPH as far west as Bertrand. Although taking a back seat to damaging winds due to being more localized, several large hail reports came in from various counties, including some very large stones to at least tennis ball size. The majority of the largest hail occurred with the first supercell of the day in Furnas County, including up to baseball size south of Holbrook and tennis ball size in Beaver City/Hollinger. However, the outright-biggest stone of the event measured 4 inches in diameter, plunging earthward several miles southwest of Minden. On the less extreme side of things, ping pong ball to golf ball size hail fell in various locations including Kearney, Minden and Alma. ||Taking a closer look at event evolution/timing, the first supercell initiated over northern Furnas County around 3:30 p.m. CDT, forming on a classic surface triple point...slightly north-northwest of strong low pressure (992 millibars) centered over north central Kansas. For a short time this storm was the only show locally, drifting slowly southeastward and dropping large hail and brief tornadoes. However, by 4:30 p.m. CDT, a north-south oriented linear system was already into Dawson/Gosper counties, driven eastward by strong convergence along an accelerating cold front. Between 5-6 p.m. CDT a few supercells/discrete multicells briefly developed over Kearney/Buffalo counties (including the one that produced the very large hail/brief tornado in Kearney County), but these storms were soon ingested by the surging QLCS. Between 6-7 p.m. CDT this complex surged across the Highway 281 corridor while a new cluster of severe convection flared up just ahead its southern edge mainly over Webster/Clay/Nuckolls counties. Finally, between 7-8 p.m. CDT, the southern portion of the QLCS (with an embedded supercell) took center stage, wreaking havoc upon the Clay/Fillmore/Thayer counties area with damaging winds before exiting the local domain into southeast Nebraska. During this same time frame, the northern portion of the QLCS (near/north of Interstate 80) prevailed weaker in nature and yielded few storm reports, but did drop quarter size hail near Shelby before exiting the coverage area. Finishing with a closer look at the meteorological situation, overall this was a prime springtime severe thunderstorm setup. In the mid-upper levels, a strong, slightly negatively-tilted shortwave trough ejected out of the Rockies and across the heart of Nebraska/northern Kansas over the course of the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the primary low pressure center drifted slowly eastward across northern Kansas, with a fairly well-defined warm front taking shape along the NE/KS border ahead of it and a sharp cold front/dryline combination surging in behind it. Despite a somewhat marginal thermodynamic environment featuring surface temperatures only in the 70s (F) and dewpoints only upper 50s-low 60s, steep mid-level lapse rates prompted healthy instability with mixed-layer CAPE peaking as high as 1500-3000 J/kg mainly along/south of the I-80 corridor. Deep-layer shear was modestly-strong (as high as 40-50 knots) and storms entered an increasingly-volatile low-level shear environment as they worked east of Highway 281, with southern portions of the QLCS encountering significant 0-1 kilometer storm relative helicity (SRH) of 200-300 m2/s2 (corresponding to the area of greatest wind damage). From a forecast perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's Day 3 Outlook (issued on the 27th) already introduced an Enhanced Risk of severe weather (level 3 of 5) for far southeast portions of South Central Nebraska. Then, on the morning of the 29th, roughly the southeast quadrant of the area was upgraded to Moderate Risk (level 4 of 5). A large swath of wind gusts estimated to be between 70 and 85 MPH, with localized gusts near 95 MPH, swept across far southeastern Clay County into southern Fillmore County. Along and near this path, widespread tree damage and power outages occurred, with emergency management reporting at least 250 pivots overturned. Numerous power poles were snapped, several grain bins were destroyed, and a few outbuildings were destroyed. The strongest of these gusts was focused in an area from near the Clay/Fillmore County line west of Shickley to approximately three miles northeast of Shickley. This area had the majority of the power pole, grain bin, and outbuilding damage. Mesonets in this area measured the following gusts: 78 MPH, four miles northeast of Shickley; 77 MPH, four miles south of Geneva; 76 MPH, three miles east of Shickley; 68 MPH, three miles south-southeast of Geneva.", "ts_dict_index": [7821, 7822, 7823]} +{"event_id": 975080, "event_type": "Thunderstorm Wind", "state": "NEBRASKA", "cz_name": "FILLMORE", "begin_date_time": "2021-07-09 22:30:00", "end_date_time": "2021-07-09 22:45:00", "narrative": "Significant damaging wind event strikes south central Nebraska during the late evening hours of July 9, 2021.

There was a brief tornado reported (rated EFU, where U is unknown because there was no damage to evaluate) to the west of Calion (Union County) at 426 pm CDT. The tornado apparently did little more than kick up some dust.||On the 8th, there was a life threatening deluge in southeast Arkansas. Showers and thunderstorms became widespread, and moved over the same areas for several hours.||Too much rain flooded roads at Star City and Varner (both in Lincoln County), Pine Bluff (Jefferson County), Stuttgart (Arkansas County), and also at Dumas and McGehee (both in Desha County). Water got into many homes. Crop and road damage (washouts) was reported in Bradley County. A creek was out of its banks just southeast of Timber Ridge (Pulaski County).||There was high water along Highway 114 between Calmer and Rison (both in Cleveland County), Highway 425 near Yorktown (Lincoln County), Highway 293 east of Garrett Bridge (Lincoln County), Highway 46 not far from Ebb (Grant County), Highway 276 on the south side of Stuttgart (Arkansas County), and Highway 1 at Kelso (Desha County). These highways were eventually closed temporarily.||The situation was the most serious in Desha and Drew Counties, and a Flash Flood Emergency was issued for the communities of Dumas, Pickens, Rohwer (all in Desha County), and Winchester (Drew County) at 1142 am CDT on the 8th. Radar estimated 10 to more than 15 inches of rain, and there was water everywhere. Some folks indicated (through social media) they had never witnessed flooding of this magnitude.||From an historic perspective, Rohwer (Desha County) received 9.25 inches of rain in the twenty four hour period ending at 700 am CDT on the 8th. This was the most rain in one day at the site, and the fourth largest one day total across the state in June. If that was not enough, 9.97 inches of liquid was measured the next day! Adding the numbers, the whopping 19.22 inches on the 8th/9th was the second biggest two day amount in Arkansas. It was just behind the 21.45 inches at Danville (Yell County) on December 3-4, 1982.||Relentless cloudbursts continued to start the 9th in eastern Arkansas. A rain gauge near DeValls Bluff (Prairie County) completely filled (to six inches) between 400 am and 700 am CST. Buildings were flooded and cars were stalled in Clarendon (Monroe County). It was the same story in Humnoke (Lonoke County), and sandbags were ordered to stop the water.||It was just getting worse in Stuttgart (Arkansas County), with one picture showing more water in a home than ever before (in the life of the photographer/42 years). That claim was likely true because the 7.50 inches of rain that caused the problem easily surpassed the previous one day June record of 4.07 inches on the 29th in 1939. At least fifteen homes were impacted by flooding at Altheimer (Jefferson County). Highway 302 from Highway 17 to Highway 79 was shut down in Monroe County, as was Highway 15 near Sherrill (Jefferson County), Highway 33 east of Tollville (Prairie County), and Highways 85 and 318 near Oneida (Phillips County).||As the weather calmed down in the east by the afternoon of the 9th, temperatures warmed well into the 80s to around 90 degrees across the northern and central counties. Heating and lots of humidity were enough to fuel isolated strong to severe storms toward evening.||Just after 700 pm CDT, a video showed a tornado (rated EFU) that lasted two minutes in a field near Blakemore (Lonoke County). Between 700 pm and 800 pm CDT, there was quarter size hail just east of College Station (Pulaski County). Little Rock (Pulaski County) got a quick 1.10 inches of rain. Trees were blown down at Cave City (Sharp County). At 805 pm CDT, there was a brief weak tornado (rated EF0) a few miles southeast of England (Lonoke County).||The focus shifted back to the southeast early on the 10th. You guessed it...the sky was falling again. Rain plus runoff from the soaking on the 8th/9th in northern and central Desha County inundated farms toward Halley (Desha County) in the south. At 200 pm CDT, an irrigation canal east of Pickens (Desha County) was breached, and adjacent farmland became a lake. The canal was patched by evening. At Florence (Drew County), residents were forced to use boats to get around. Water threatened structures at Dermott and Eudora (both in Chicot County), and sandbagging was in progress. It was clear that assistance was needed, and Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson declared a state of emergency. ||All was quiet quiet in Little Rock (Pulaski County) on the 10th, and the sun was out. For the first time in 2021, the temperature touched 90 degrees (the high was 92 degrees), and it was three weeks late (it normally happens by May 18th). Toward evening, it got loud toward Pinnacle Mountain (Pulaski County). A severe storm pumped out quarter size hail, winds strong enough to push over a few trees, and up to six inches of rain in less than two hours. The terrain accentuated the flow of water across roads and into neighborhoods.

This event began well west and northwest of the Hastings County Warning Area (CWA), within the Nebraska Panhandle, during the late afternoon and early evening hours as a small cluster of thunderstorms. These thunderstorms became severe at various points during their eastward track across the Nebraska Sandhills through the evening, but it wasn���t until they reached the North Platte and Broken Bow areas around 9PM CDT that they became significantly organized and severe. This activity quickly moved into W and NW portions of the CWA between 9-10PM CDT, with the strongest thunderstorms and associated wind gusts focused across Dawson County. Wind gusts of 65 MPH to nearly 80 MPH were common across the county, which resulted in widespread tree damage and numerous power outages. Activity quickly grew upscale in terms of coverage and intensity as it shifted SE, and by 10 PM CDT, there was a solid line of thunderstorms from Nance County to Buffalo County to northern Gosper County that would prove to become a prolific damaging wind producer over the next couple of hours, including for the three largest cities in the Hastings CWA - Kearney, Grand Island, and Hastings. Wind gusts of 60-80 MPH were either reported or estimated in all of these areas. Not surprisingly, impacts were fairly significant, especially in terms of the overall scope of tree damage and power outages, including snapped power poles and healthy trees that were snapped off near the ground. Some of the trees fell onto homes and vehicles. In Kearney, a roof was partially torn off a movie theater, which also led to extensive water damage due to the torrential rain. Conditions became treacherous along Interstate 80 as the strong wind gusts on the leading edge of the thunderstorms led to overturned semi-trucks, other trailers, and campers, as well as very limited visibility due to blowing dust. As the line of thunderstorms moved east of Highway 281, some localized corridors of particularly intense winds, observed or estimated to be as high as 80-95 MPH, developed across portions of eastern Hall County, southern Hamilton County, and northern Clay County between 10:30-11:30 PM CDT. The most intense wind occurred in a swath from around Central Nebraska Regional Airport, where an 84 MPH gust was measured, southeast towards areas near and south of Aurora, to near Giltner. Damage in these areas included: significant tree and power line damage, snapped power poles, flattened crops, overturned pivots, damaged or destroyed grain bins and outbuildings, and two blown over semi-trucks on Interstate 80. Some tree limbs fell on cars and buildings, and some minor roof and window damage occurred to a few businesses. Perhaps the most impressive damage was downed high-voltage transmission lines approximately 4 miles south of Aurora where they cross Interstate 80. This led to traffic issues in the area for a time. Similar tree, power line, crop, irrigation pivot, and grain bin/outbuilding damage was reported in portions of Clay County. The line of thunderstorms weakened slightly as they shifted E and SE towards the Highway 81 corridor between 11PM and midnight, though gusts of 65-75 MPH were still reported in York, Fillmore, and Thayer Counties. Most notable damage (other than tree and power line damage) were half dozen overturned pivots, flattened corn, and a tree falling on a car. Severe thunderstorms finally exited south central Nebraska by 1AM on July 10. When all was said and done, a nearly continuous swath of relatively concentrated wind damage 30 to 50 miles wide occurred from near North Platte, NE to areas just E/NE of Hebron, NE. Gov. Ricketts declared disaster declaration for 14 total counties in Nebraska, including Clay, Fillmore, Hall, Hamilton and York counties in our CWA, and it was ultimately approved by President Biden. Preliminary assessment by FEMA estimated over 30 million dollars in damages.||Meteorologically speaking, this complex of thunderstorms was not unexpected, though intensity forecasts were ramped up just hours before the onset. SPC outlooks increased from a ���Slight��� risk in the morning, to an ���Enhanced��� risk for the western half of the CWA in the 3PM CDT update. The ���Enhanced��� risk was expanded to include all of south central Nebraska with the evening update. Strong wind shear (effective shear 50-60kt) was a consistent feature of the forecast, with the primary uncertainty being low level moisture quality and how much instability there would be for storms to work with as they moved off of the High Plains. Ultimately, low level moisture, in particular surface dew points, were much higher than modeled. For example, surface dew points were well into the mid 70s across a large portion of central and south central Nebraska, vs. modeled dew points in the 60s. This discrepancy was likely due to strong evapotranspiration from irrigation and mature crops, as well as weak low level mixing. As such, instability was very strong with MUCAPE of 5000-7000 J/kg, and this continued well into the overnight hours. Downdraft CAPE was also high at around 1000-1300 J/kg. Not surprisingly, the Derecho Composite parameter peaked between 4-6, which was significant. Wind gusts estimated to be near 95 MPH occurred along this path. The main reports of damage came from the Harvard and Sutton areas. Widespread tree damage was reported, along with large areas of flattened crops. Minor roof damage occurred in Sutton. Numerous power outages were reported. Emergency management reported multiple irrigation pivots overturned in the area, along with 3 large grain bins destroyed and an outbuilding damaged along N Road near Harvard.", "ts_dict_index": [7833, 7834, 7835]} +{"event_id": 1026870, "event_type": "Thunderstorm Wind", "state": "NEBRASKA", "cz_name": "THAYER", "begin_date_time": "2022-05-12 16:59:00", "end_date_time": "2022-05-12 17:06:00", "narrative": "Major severe weather event unfolds across south central Nebraska during the afternoon and evening of May 12th, including wind gusts of 80 to 90 MPH. The most significant severe weather event of May 2022 occurred on a Thursday in which multiple rounds of thunderstorms wreaked havoc on essentially all of south central Nebraska at some point. The most intense severe weather, by far, was the first round. This activity actually developed over portions of west/southwest Kansas during the morning hours and moved northeast. Rapid intensification took place between 1PM and 2PM CDT as thunderstorms organized into a long line, and the first Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were issued for areas from Phillipsburg, KS to Lexington, NE. Initial storm reports ranged from quarter to ping pong ball size hail with the southern portion of the line, to widespread damaging wind gusts with the northern portion of the line across a large portion of Dawson County. Wind damage consisted of overturned pivots, uprooted trees, broken power poles, fence and roof damage, large tree limbs downed. Wind damage was widespread over central and western Dawson County where measured wind gusts of 60-70 MPH were common. Even an 82 MPH gust, which is considered ���significant severe���, was measured by a mesonet near Eddyville. Surface temperatures near 90 degrees and mixed layer CAPE values in excess of 3000 J/kg ahead of the line of thunderstorms, amidst 35kt to 50kt of southwesterly deep layer shear, allowed for continued intensification through the mid to late afternoon as the line raced northeast. Additional significant damaging wind impacts were felt across Sherman, Valley, and Greeley Counties. Valley County was another area especially hard hit. Here, several wind gusts in the 80-90 MPH range were reported, and damage was significant. Numerous trees were uprooted, pivots overturned, and outbuildings and grain bins destroyed. Another destructive aspect of this storm is that it also produced ping pong ball sized hail that was blown by the intense winds. This resulted in significant window and body damage to cars, as well as roof, siding, and window damage to homes. Additional significant wind damage was reported in and around Burwell (just barely outside this coverage area). The first round of thunderstorms exited north/northeast of the area around 3:30PM CDT, but the next round was ���hot on its heels���, and entered southern Nebraska around 4PM CDT, and quickly became severe. In fact, brief, but intense, circulations were noted on radar for a time just south and southeast of Hastings. This round affected mainly areas along and east of Highway 281. Since this region was spared from the first round, and a similar thermodynamic and kinematic environment was still in place, it���s no surprise that this round also intensified enough to produce ���significant severe��� wind gusts, most notably in a swath from Clay County northeast to Polk County. Several more 60-70 MPH wind gusts were reported in these areas, causing more overturned pivots, downed power lines, and damage to roofs, outbuildings, and grain bins. Also, intense wind gusts moved over Interstate 80 in Hamilton County, causing multiple overturned semis. This second round exited into eastern Nebraska and out of the Hastings CWA around 7PM CDT. The third and final round began to affect areas along and east Highway 183 between 7PM and 8PM CDT. The majority of this activity remained sub-severe as the greatest instability had been used up by the two previous rounds. However, a marginally severe wind gust of 59 MPH was measured at the Hastings airport shortly before 8PM. Thereafter, weakening ensued as the line became strung out and forward propagation slowed. Thunderstorms finally exited south central Nebraska between 11PM and midnight, ending a roughly 10 hour stretch of seemingly never ending severe weather!||Meteorologically speaking, this event was driven by a particularly volatile combination of intensifying shortwave ejecting from the central Rockies into the northern Plains, very unstable airmass (MUCAPE of 3000-4000 J/kg at it���s peak), and strong deep layer shear driven by 500 mb speed max of 60-70 kt. While this setup is not unheard of for mid-May, it���s certainly not very common, and for three distinct waves of thunderstorms to move through in a 10 hour period (two of which contained significant severe weather phenomena) is also not very common. From a regional perspective, the Hastings CWA was the developing grounds for a significant derecho that would propagate into the Northern Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley and go on to produce hundreds of measured severe wind gusts and wind damage reports, of which over 60 were considered ���significant severe���. Over 75 hail reports and nearly three dozen tornado reports were also reported, with the majority of tornadoes occurring in SD and MN. For 2022, this will likely be remembered as one of the most severe convective events of the year, both locally, and across the greater region. A wind gust of 66 MPH was measured by a mesonet station located three miles east-northeast of Davenport.

For being such a widespread event (the majority of the 24 counties experienced at least limited severe weather) it was fairly quick-evolving and quick-hitting, as all local storms occurred within a 4.5-hour span between 3:30-8 p.m. CDT. Convective mode was a potent, but messy mix consisting primarily of an eastward-charging quasi-linear convective system (QLCS), but also a few briefly-discrete supercells that flared up just ahead of the QLCS (and were subsequently overtaken by it), along with at least one supercell structure embedded within the southern reaches of the QLCS. Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the four tornadoes, the first two (both with no known damage) touched down briefly in southwestern Harlan County, spawned by the first (and most isolated) supercell of the day. A short time later, another brief tornado (also no damage reported) was spotted in south central Kearney County, associated with a supercell that initiated just ahead of the approaching QLCS. The fourth tornado, though only rated EF-0, was the most noteworthy one as it developed along the far southern fringes of the QLCS in the Ruskin-Deshler area, overturning several pivots and damaging an outbuilding along a nearly five mile path. However, by far the biggest story of the day was significant straight-line wind damage. Though sporadic pockets of damage occurred in western counties, by far the most concentrated swaths focused within the following counties: Adams, Nuckolls, Thayer and especially Clay/Fillmore. This was due to a combination of the QLCS peaking in intensity over this area, along with it containing the embedded supercell. The most notable corridor of destructive winds took aim on southeastern Clay, southwestern Fillmore and northern Thayer counties. To mention just a few storm reports from this zone: at least 250 irrigation pivots toppled; several grain bins and a few outbuildings destroyed; unofficial mesonet-measured wind gusts as high as 91 MPH near Davenport and 78 MPH near Shickley. Outside of this worst-hit area (and farther north/west): a sampling of thunderstorm wind issues included: estimated 75 MPH gusts that derailed approximately 15 train cars near Shelton, estimated winds of 65-70 MPH in the Minden and Hastings areas (downed trees in Minden and a small-but-sturdy storage shed blown from behind a home into a front yard in south Hastings); measured gusts of 64 MPH as far north as Ord and 61 MPH as far west as Bertrand. Although taking a back seat to damaging winds due to being more localized, several large hail reports came in from various counties, including some very large stones to at least tennis ball size. The majority of the largest hail occurred with the first supercell of the day in Furnas County, including up to baseball size south of Holbrook and tennis ball size in Beaver City/Hollinger. However, the outright-biggest stone of the event measured 4 inches in diameter, plunging earthward several miles southwest of Minden. On the less extreme side of things, ping pong ball to golf ball size hail fell in various locations including Kearney, Minden and Alma. ||Taking a closer look at event evolution/timing, the first supercell initiated over northern Furnas County around 3:30 p.m. CDT, forming on a classic surface triple point...slightly north-northwest of strong low pressure (992 millibars) centered over north central Kansas. For a short time this storm was the only show locally, drifting slowly southeastward and dropping large hail and brief tornadoes. However, by 4:30 p.m. CDT, a north-south oriented linear system was already into Dawson/Gosper counties, driven eastward by strong convergence along an accelerating cold front. Between 5-6 p.m. CDT a few supercells/discrete multicells briefly developed over Kearney/Buffalo counties (including the one that produced the very large hail/brief tornado in Kearney County), but these storms were soon ingested by the surging QLCS. Between 6-7 p.m. CDT this complex surged across the Highway 281 corridor while a new cluster of severe convection flared up just ahead its southern edge mainly over Webster/Clay/Nuckolls counties. Finally, between 7-8 p.m. CDT, the southern portion of the QLCS (with an embedded supercell) took center stage, wreaking havoc upon the Clay/Fillmore/Thayer counties area with damaging winds before exiting the local domain into southeast Nebraska. During this same time frame, the northern portion of the QLCS (near/north of Interstate 80) prevailed weaker in nature and yielded few storm reports, but did drop quarter size hail near Shelby before exiting the coverage area. Finishing with a closer look at the meteorological situation, overall this was a prime springtime severe thunderstorm setup. In the mid-upper levels, a strong, slightly negatively-tilted shortwave trough ejected out of the Rockies and across the heart of Nebraska/northern Kansas over the course of the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the primary low pressure center drifted slowly eastward across northern Kansas, with a fairly well-defined warm front taking shape along the NE/KS border ahead of it and a sharp cold front/dryline combination surging in behind it. Despite a somewhat marginal thermodynamic environment featuring surface temperatures only in the 70s (F) and dewpoints only upper 50s-low 60s, steep mid-level lapse rates prompted healthy instability with mixed-layer CAPE peaking as high as 1500-3000 J/kg mainly along/south of the I-80 corridor. Deep-layer shear was modestly-strong (as high as 40-50 knots) and storms entered an increasingly-volatile low-level shear environment as they worked east of Highway 281, with southern portions of the QLCS encountering significant 0-1 kilometer storm relative helicity (SRH) of 200-300 m2/s2 (corresponding to the area of greatest wind damage). From a forecast perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's Day 3 Outlook (issued on the 27th) already introduced an Enhanced Risk of severe weather (level 3 of 5) for far southeast portions of South Central Nebraska. Then, on the morning of the 29th, roughly the southeast quadrant of the area was upgraded to Moderate Risk (level 4 of 5).

Finally, between 7-8 p.m. CDT, the southern portion of the QLCS (with an embedded supercell) took center stage, wreaking havoc upon the Clay/Fillmore/Thayer counties area with damaging winds before exiting the local domain into southeast Nebraska. During this same time frame, the northern portion of the QLCS (near/north of Interstate 80) prevailed weaker in nature and yielded few storm reports, but did drop quarter size hail near Shelby before exiting the coverage area. Finishing with a closer look at the meteorological situation, overall this was a prime springtime severe thunderstorm setup. In the mid-upper levels, a strong, slightly negatively-tilted shortwave trough ejected out of the Rockies and across the heart of Nebraska/northern Kansas over the course of the afternoon-evening.

Despite a somewhat marginal thermodynamic environment featuring surface temperatures only in the 70s (F) and dewpoints only upper 50s-low 60s, steep mid-level lapse rates prompted healthy instability with mixed-layer CAPE peaking as high as 1500-3000 J/kg mainly along/south of the I-80 corridor. Deep-layer shear was modestly-strong (as high as 40-50 knots) and storms entered an increasingly-volatile low-level shear environment as they worked east of Highway 281, with southern portions of the QLCS encountering significant 0-1 kilometer storm relative helicity (SRH) of 200-300 m2/s2 (corresponding to the area of greatest wind damage). From a forecast perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's Day 3 Outlook (issued on the 27th) already introduced an Enhanced Risk of severe weather (level 3 of 5) for far southeast portions of South Central Nebraska.

For being such a widespread event (the majority of the 24 counties experienced at least limited severe weather) it was fairly quick-evolving and quick-hitting, as all local storms occurred within a 4.5-hour span between 3:30-8 p.m. CDT. Convective mode was a potent, but messy mix consisting primarily of an eastward-charging quasi-linear convective system (QLCS), but also a few briefly-discrete supercells that flared up just ahead of the QLCS (and were subsequently overtaken by it), along with at least one supercell structure embedded within the southern reaches of the QLCS. Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the four tornadoes, the first two (both with no known damage) touched down briefly in southwestern Harlan County, spawned by the first (and most isolated) supercell of the day. A short time later, another brief tornado (also no damage reported) was spotted in south central Kearney County, associated with a supercell that initiated just ahead of the approaching QLCS. The fourth tornado, though only rated EF-0, was the most noteworthy one as it developed along the far southern fringes of the QLCS in the Ruskin-Deshler area, overturning several pivots and damaging an outbuilding along a nearly five mile path. However, by far the biggest story of the day was significant straight-line wind damage. Though sporadic pockets of damage occurred in western counties, by far the most concentrated swaths focused within the following counties: Adams, Nuckolls, Thayer and especially Clay/Fillmore. This was due to a combination of the QLCS peaking in intensity over this area, along with it containing the embedded supercell. The most notable corridor of destructive winds took aim on southeastern Clay, southwestern Fillmore and northern Thayer counties. To mention just a few storm reports from this zone: at least 250 irrigation pivots toppled; several grain bins and a few outbuildings destroyed; unofficial mesonet-measured wind gusts as high as 91 MPH near Davenport and 78 MPH near Shickley. Outside of this worst-hit area (and farther north/west): a sampling of thunderstorm wind issues included: estimated 75 MPH gusts that derailed approximately 15 train cars near Shelton, estimated winds of 65-70 MPH in the Minden and Hastings areas (downed trees in Minden and a small-but-sturdy storage shed blown from behind a home into a front yard in south Hastings); measured gusts of 64 MPH as far north as Ord and 61 MPH as far west as Bertrand. Although taking a back seat to damaging winds due to being more localized, several large hail reports came in from various counties, including some very large stones to at least tennis ball size. The majority of the largest hail occurred with the first supercell of the day in Furnas County, including up to baseball size south of Holbrook and tennis ball size in Beaver City/Hollinger. However, the outright-biggest stone of the event measured 4 inches in diameter, plunging earthward several miles southwest of Minden. On the less extreme side of things, ping pong ball to golf ball size hail fell in various locations including Kearney, Minden and Alma. ||Taking a closer look at event evolution/timing, the first supercell initiated over northern Furnas County around 3:30 p.m. CDT, forming on a classic surface triple point...slightly north-northwest of strong low pressure (992 millibars) centered over north central Kansas. For a short time this storm was the only show locally, drifting slowly southeastward and dropping large hail and brief tornadoes. However, by 4:30 p.m. CDT, a north-south oriented linear system was already into Dawson/Gosper counties, driven eastward by strong convergence along an accelerating cold front. Between 5-6 p.m. CDT a few supercells/discrete multicells briefly developed over Kearney/Buffalo counties (including the one that produced the very large hail/brief tornado in Kearney County), but these storms were soon ingested by the surging QLCS. Between 6-7 p.m. CDT this complex surged across the Highway 281 corridor while a new cluster of severe convection flared up just ahead its southern edge mainly over Webster/Clay/Nuckolls counties. Finally, between 7-8 p.m. CDT, the southern portion of the QLCS (with an embedded supercell) took center stage, wreaking havoc upon the Clay/Fillmore/Thayer counties area with damaging winds before exiting the local domain into southeast Nebraska.

The most significant severe weather event of May 2022 occurred on a Thursday in which multiple rounds of thunderstorms wreaked havoc on essentially all of south central Nebraska at some point. The most intense severe weather, by far, was the first round. This activity actually developed over portions of west/southwest Kansas during the morning hours and moved northeast. Rapid intensification took place between 1PM and 2PM CDT as thunderstorms organized into a long line, and the first Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were issued for areas from Phillipsburg, KS to Lexington, NE. Initial storm reports ranged from quarter to ping pong ball size hail with the southern portion of the line, to widespread damaging wind gusts with the northern portion of the line across a large portion of Dawson County. Wind damage consisted of overturned pivots, uprooted trees, broken power poles, fence and roof damage, large tree limbs downed. Wind damage was widespread over central and western Dawson County where measured wind gusts of 60-70 MPH were common. Even an 82 MPH gust, which is considered ���significant severe���, was measured by a mesonet near Eddyville. Surface temperatures near 90 degrees and mixed layer CAPE values in excess of 3000 J/kg ahead of the line of thunderstorms, amidst 35kt to 50kt of southwesterly deep layer shear, allowed for continued intensification through the mid to late afternoon as the line raced northeast. Additional significant damaging wind impacts were felt across Sherman, Valley, and Greeley Counties. Valley County was another area especially hard hit. Here, several wind gusts in the 80-90 MPH range were reported, and damage was significant. Numerous trees were uprooted, pivots overturned, and outbuildings and grain bins destroyed. Another destructive aspect of this storm is that it also produced ping pong ball sized hail that was blown by the intense winds. This resulted in significant window and body damage to cars, as well as roof, siding, and window damage to homes. Additional significant wind damage was reported in and around Burwell (just barely outside this coverage area). The first round of thunderstorms exited north/northeast of the area around 3:30PM CDT, but the next round was ���hot on its heels���, and entered southern Nebraska around 4PM CDT, and quickly became severe. In fact, brief, but intense, circulations were noted on radar for a time just south and southeast of Hastings. This round affected mainly areas along and east of Highway 281. Since this region was spared from the first round, and a similar thermodynamic and kinematic environment was still in place, it���s no surprise that this round also intensified enough to produce ���significant severe��� wind gusts, most notably in a swath from Clay County northeast to Polk County. Several more 60-70 MPH wind gusts were reported in these areas, causing more overturned pivots, downed power lines, and damage to roofs, outbuildings, and grain bins. Also, intense wind gusts moved over Interstate 80 in Hamilton County, causing multiple overturned semis. This second round exited into eastern Nebraska and out of the Hastings CWA around 7PM CDT. The third and final round began to affect areas along and east Highway 183 between 7PM and 8PM CDT. The majority of this activity remained sub-severe as the greatest instability had been used up by the two previous rounds. However, a marginally severe wind gust of 59 MPH was measured at the Hastings airport shortly before 8PM. Thereafter, weakening ensued as the line became strung out and forward propagation slowed. Thunderstorms finally exited south central Nebraska between 11PM and midnight, ending a roughly 10 hour stretch of seemingly never ending severe weather!||Meteorologically speaking, this event was driven by a particularly volatile combination of intensifying shortwave ejecting from the central Rockies into the northern Plains, very unstable airmass (MUCAPE of 3000-4000 J/kg at it���s peak), and strong deep layer shear driven by 500 mb speed max of 60-70 kt. While this setup is not unheard of for mid-May, it���s certainly not very common, and for three distinct waves of thunderstorms to move through in a 10 hour period (two of which contained significant severe weather phenomena) is also not very common. From a regional perspective, the Hastings CWA was the developing grounds for a significant derecho that would propagate into the Northern Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley and go on to produce hundreds of measured severe wind gusts and wind damage reports, of which over 60 were considered ���significant severe���. Over 75 hail reports and nearly three dozen tornado reports were also reported, with the majority of tornadoes occurring in SD and MN. For 2022, this will likely be remembered as one of the most severe convective events of the year, both locally, and across the greater region.

Quite simply, this was a nasty wind storm, packing a punch with gusts ranging from around 60 to nearly 90 MPH along and several miles either side of a line stretching from Ord-Grand Island-Hastings-Hardy. For the city of Grand Island, this was likely the overall-worst wind storm in several years, as the airport ASOS clocked a peak gust of 87 MPH. Countless trees/large branches were blown down within the city, along with several power lines, and there was also some (mainly) minor structural damage. Grand Island Emergency Center logged nearly 300 storm related incidents, including traffic hazards, power outages, alarms and fire concerns from sparking electricity. The storm also caused an (indirect) traffic fatality in rural Hall County southeast of Cairo, when a man crashed his pickup into a large, downed tree arched across a paved county road. To the south in Hastings, damage was less-severe overall, as the ASOS peak gust on the west side of town was only 70 MPH. However, stronger winds likely impacted areas just east of the city, as large trees were uprooted at Central Community College and several rail cars were reportedly blown over at a repair facility near the Clay County line. Several smaller communities also reported notable wind damage, including: Cairo, Alda, Wood River, Doniphan, Glenvil, and Fairfield. West of Clay Center, fairly extensive damage occurred on the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center campus, including broken windows and roof damage to several buildings. In addition to the aforementioned peak wind gusts at Grand Island/Hastings airports, some of the more notable unofficial (mesonet) gusts included: 85 MPH near Fairfield, 80 MPH near Alda and Wood River, 79 MPH in Doniphan and 73 MPH near Nelson. Despite the multitude of damaging wind reports, hail reports were quite scarce, as the vast majority of stones were likely dime size or smaller. Rainfall-wise, a fairly widespread coverage of 2-3 soaked several northern counties including: Valley, Greeley, Sherman, Nance and Merrick. Although resultant flooding was not very extensive in most of the area, the Mira Creek in southern Valley County breached its banks for the second time in five days, again prompting minor flooding on the north side of North Loup that continued into the early morning of the 8th.||Breaking down the timing and meteorological background of this event, it's worth noting that these South Central Nebraska damaging winds were actually the finale to a much longer swath of severe weather that initiated in southern ND and north central SD during the afternoon/evening of the 6th. Between 1-2 a.m. CDT on the 7th, the leading edge of this narrow-but-potent mesoscale convective system (MCS) entered far northern portions of the local area into Valley/Greeley counties, signaling its arrival with a 59 MPH gust at Ord airport. However, the worst was yet to come, as during the next few hours the storm complex morphed into more of an outflow-dominant, high-precipitation supercell, slamming through the Grand Island/Hastings areas between 2:30-3:30 a.m. CDT before eventually exiting Nuckolls/Thayer counties into Kansas by 5 a.m. CDT. In the wake of the main show, a few weaker clusters of storms redeveloped over parts of the area into the daylight hours, but were of little significance. In the big picture of the mid-upper levels, this event occurred within a fairly classic summertime northwest-flow regime, as the Central Plains resided northeast of an expansive ridge centered over New Mexico. At the surface, South Central Nebraska was on the backside of a weak ridge axis centered near the Nebraska-Iowa border. This promoted light-but-steady, south-southeast breezes in advance of the approaching storm complex, with surface dewpoints averaging mid-upper 60s F. Although there were question marks about how far southward into Nebraska the potential severe weather threat would extend, the combination of seasonably-stout flow aloft (deep-layer wind shear of at least 40-60 knots) and sufficient instability (mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg) was clearly supportive of an intense late-night storm. Also enhancing the severe weather environment was a modest, 30 knot southwesterly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) and its associated low-level warm air/moisture advection. A 67 MPH wind gust was measured by a mesonet station located 3 miles west of Edgar.", "ts_dict_index": [7902, 7903, 7904]} +{"event_id": 1045509, "event_type": "Thunderstorm Wind", "state": "NEBRASKA", "cz_name": "CLAY", "begin_date_time": "2022-07-16 20:49:00", "end_date_time": "2022-07-16 20:49:00", "narrative": "Several strong to severe thunderstorms, some that eventually merged into a compact mesoscale convective system (MCS), rumbled southeastward across various parts of South Central Nebraska mainly between 6:30-11:30 p.m. CDT on this Saturday evening, prompting assorted reports of large hail (up to baseball size) and damaging winds (estimated up to 80 MPH) and disrupting activities at a handful of local county fairs. The most prominent narrow swath of severe activity cut through the heart of the 24-county area, focusing within 10 miles either side of a line extending from Ord-Cairo-Hastings-Davenport as an initially isolated supercell merged with a separate cluster of severe storms to its west, forming the aforementioned MCS. During it's more supercellular phase near/north of the Highway 92 corridor (mainly 6:30-8:30 p.m. CDT), a combo of both damaging winds and large hail occurred, featuring measured gusts as high as 74 MPH at Ord airport and hail ranging from golf ball to baseball size particularly within western Howard and far northwestern Hall counties. In Howard County, a stripe of significant damage to crops and windows/siding was noted from around Farwell to west of Dannebrog. As this MCS reached areas near/south of Interstate 80 (primarily 9-11 p.m. CDT) the hail threat waned but damaging winds continued, evidenced by a measured 58 MPH gust at Hastings airport and unofficial mesonet-measured gusts of 67 MPH near Nelson and 62 MPH near Davenport. Within Clay County, tree branches were downed in several communities including Trumbull, Deweese, Fairfield and Edgar. Shortly before this storm complex exited the local area to the southeast between 11:00-11:30 p.m. CDT, wind intensity ramped down to slightly sub-severe levels within southern/eastern Thayer County. Although far from the only outdoor event interruption of the evening within South Central Nebraska, one of the more noteworthy ones associated with this MCS involved the Adams County Fairfest in Hastings, where an ongoing Nelly concert was cut short and an evacuation of the grounds was successfully initiated shortly before the storm struck. Although rain totals of 1-2 inches were common within the heart of the MCS track (overall highest inF Clay County), any flooding was of the very short term/nuisance variety. To the west of the aforementioned primary swath of severe weather, a few separate and smaller-scale areas of strong to severe storms impacted portions of primarily Furnas, Buffalo and Dawson counties mainly between 7-9 p.m. CDT. In Furnas County, a relatively small but intense supercell roamed northern and eastern parts of the county, with estimated 80 MPH winds destroying an outbuilding and grain bin at a farmstead between Holbrook and Arapahoe. Meanwhile, other semi-discrete convection within parts of Buffalo/Dawson counties yielded a few wind reports including a mesonet-measured 64 MPH gust near Kearney and a slightly sub-severe 54 MPH speed near Lexington. The eastern reaches of this activity eventually merged with the primary MCS as it charged across the I-80 corridor and into the Hastings area. ||Finishing with some details regarding the evolution and meteorology behind this event, the initial development of isolated to scattered thunderstorms during the mid-late afternoon hours occurred in separate areas slightly off to the north and also west of South Central Nebraska, with this early activity gradually increasing in both coverage/intensity as it evolved into the local area. In the mid-upper levels, forcing was fairly weak, featuring only subtle shortwave energy working into the region in west-northwest flow, directed around the northeastern periphery of a large-scale ridge centered over the Four Corners region. At the surface, there were also no significant features of note locally, with most of South Central Nebraska simply reporting 5-15 MPH east-southeasterly breezes during the afternoon. However, the initial storm development off to the north and west of the area appeared to be tied to weak convergence along a pair of subtle boundaries. Despite the aforementioned weak forcing and also weak mid level lapse rates, the environment featured plentiful low level moisture/instability and seasonably-decent deep layer wind shear of 30-40 knots. Ahead of the incoming storms, late afternoon temperatures in the upper 80s-low 90s (F) and dewpoints in the upper 60s-mid 70s promoted mixed-layer CAPE 2000-3000 J/kg.

Also enhancing the severe weather environment was a modest, 30 knot southwesterly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) and its associated low-level warm air/moisture advection.

The most prominent narrow swath of severe activity cut through the heart of the 24-county area, focusing within 10 miles either side of a line extending from Ord-Cairo-Hastings-Davenport as an initially isolated supercell merged with a separate cluster of severe storms to its west, forming the aforementioned MCS. During it's more supercellular phase near/north of the Highway 92 corridor (mainly 6:30-8:30 p.m. CDT), a combo of both damaging winds and large hail occurred, featuring measured gusts as high as 74 MPH at Ord airport and hail ranging from golf ball to baseball size particularly within western Howard and far northwestern Hall counties. In Howard County, a stripe of significant damage to crops and windows/siding was noted from around Farwell to west of Dannebrog. As this MCS reached areas near/south of Interstate 80 (primarily 9-11 p.m. CDT) the hail threat waned but damaging winds continued, evidenced by a measured 58 MPH gust at Hastings airport and unofficial mesonet-measured gusts of 67 MPH near Nelson and 62 MPH near Davenport. Within Clay County, tree branches were downed in several communities including Trumbull, Deweese, Fairfield and Edgar. Shortly before this storm complex exited the local area to the southeast between 11:00-11:30 p.m. CDT, wind intensity ramped down to slightly sub-severe levels within southern/eastern Thayer County. Although far from the only outdoor event interruption of the evening within South Central Nebraska, one of the more noteworthy ones associated with this MCS involved the Adams County Fairfest in Hastings, where an ongoing Nelly concert was cut short and an evacuation of the grounds was successfully initiated shortly before the storm struck. Although rain totals of 1-2 inches were common within the heart of the MCS track (overall highest inF Clay County), any flooding was of the very short term/nuisance variety. To the west of the aforementioned primary swath of severe weather, a few separate and smaller-scale areas of strong to severe storms impacted portions of primarily Furnas, Buffalo and Dawson counties mainly between 7-9 p.m. CDT. In Furnas County, a relatively small but intense supercell roamed northern and eastern parts of the county, with estimated 80 MPH winds destroying an outbuilding and grain bin at a farmstead between Holbrook and Arapahoe. Meanwhile, other semi-discrete convection within parts of Buffalo/Dawson counties yielded a few wind reports including a mesonet-measured 64 MPH gust near Kearney and a slightly sub-severe 54 MPH speed near Lexington.

In the mid-upper levels, forcing was fairly weak, featuring only subtle shortwave energy working into the region in west-northwest flow, directed around the northeastern periphery of a large-scale ridge centered over the Four Corners region. At the surface, there were also no significant features of note locally, with most of South Central Nebraska simply reporting 5-15 MPH east-southeasterly breezes during the afternoon. However, the initial storm development off to the north and west of the area appeared to be tied to weak convergence along a pair of subtle boundaries. Despite the aforementioned weak forcing and also weak mid level lapse rates, the environment featured plentiful low level moisture/instability and seasonably-decent deep layer wind shear of 30-40 knots. Ahead of the incoming storms, late afternoon temperatures in the upper 80s-low 90s (F) and dewpoints in the upper 60s-mid 70s promoted mixed-layer CAPE 2000-3000 J/kg.

The most significant severe weather event of May 2022 occurred on a Thursday in which multiple rounds of thunderstorms wreaked havoc on essentially all of south central Nebraska at some point. The most intense severe weather, by far, was the first round. This activity actually developed over portions of west/southwest Kansas during the morning hours and moved northeast. Rapid intensification took place between 1PM and 2PM CDT as thunderstorms organized into a long line, and the first Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were issued for areas from Phillipsburg, KS to Lexington, NE. Initial storm reports ranged from quarter to ping pong ball size hail with the southern portion of the line, to widespread damaging wind gusts with the northern portion of the line across a large portion of Dawson County. Wind damage consisted of overturned pivots, uprooted trees, broken power poles, fence and roof damage, large tree limbs downed. Wind damage was widespread over central and western Dawson County where measured wind gusts of 60-70 MPH were common. Even an 82 MPH gust, which is considered ���significant severe���, was measured by a mesonet near Eddyville. Surface temperatures near 90 degrees and mixed layer CAPE values in excess of 3000 J/kg ahead of the line of thunderstorms, amidst 35kt to 50kt of southwesterly deep layer shear, allowed for continued intensification through the mid to late afternoon as the line raced northeast. Additional significant damaging wind impacts were felt across Sherman, Valley, and Greeley Counties. Valley County was another area especially hard hit. Here, several wind gusts in the 80-90 MPH range were reported, and damage was significant. Numerous trees were uprooted, pivots overturned, and outbuildings and grain bins destroyed. Another destructive aspect of this storm is that it also produced ping pong ball sized hail that was blown by the intense winds. This resulted in significant window and body damage to cars, as well as roof, siding, and window damage to homes. Additional significant wind damage was reported in and around Burwell (just barely outside this coverage area). The first round of thunderstorms exited north/northeast of the area around 3:30PM CDT, but the next round was ���hot on its heels���, and entered southern Nebraska around 4PM CDT, and quickly became severe. In fact, brief, but intense, circulations were noted on radar for a time just south and southeast of Hastings. This round affected mainly areas along and east of Highway 281. Since this region was spared from the first round, and a similar thermodynamic and kinematic environment was still in place, it���s no surprise that this round also intensified enough to produce ���significant severe��� wind gusts, most notably in a swath from Clay County northeast to Polk County. Several more 60-70 MPH wind gusts were reported in these areas, causing more overturned pivots, downed power lines, and damage to roofs, outbuildings, and grain bins. Also, intense wind gusts moved over Interstate 80 in Hamilton County, causing multiple overturned semis. This second round exited into eastern Nebraska and out of the Hastings CWA around 7PM CDT. The third and final round began to affect areas along and east Highway 183 between 7PM and 8PM CDT. The majority of this activity remained sub-severe as the greatest instability had been used up by the two previous rounds. However, a marginally severe wind gust of 59 MPH was measured at the Hastings airport shortly before 8PM. Thereafter, weakening ensued as the line became strung out and forward propagation slowed. Thunderstorms finally exited south central Nebraska between 11PM and midnight, ending a roughly 10 hour stretch of seemingly never ending severe weather!||Meteorologically speaking, this event was driven by a particularly volatile combination of intensifying shortwave ejecting from the central Rockies into the northern Plains, very unstable airmass (MUCAPE of 3000-4000 J/kg at it���s peak), and strong deep layer shear driven by 500 mb speed max of 60-70 kt. While this setup is not unheard of for mid-May, it���s certainly not very common, and for three distinct waves of thunderstorms to move through in a 10 hour period (two of which contained significant severe weather phenomena) is also not very common. From a regional perspective, the Hastings CWA was the developing grounds for a significant derecho that would propagate into the Northern Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley and go on to produce hundreds of measured severe wind gusts and wind damage reports, of which over 60 were considered ���significant severe���. Over 75 hail reports and nearly three dozen tornado reports were also reported, with the majority of tornadoes occurring in SD and MN. For 2022, this will likely be remembered as one of the most severe convective events of the year, both locally, and across the greater region. Wind gusts estimated to be near 70 MPH resulted in damage across Clay Center. Emergency management reported widespread tree damage and power outages across town and much of Clay County. A couple metal buildings in town sustained damage, including one at the grain elevator.

Quite simply, this was a nasty wind storm, packing a punch with gusts ranging from around 60 to nearly 90 MPH along and several miles either side of a line stretching from Ord-Grand Island-Hastings-Hardy. For the city of Grand Island, this was likely the overall-worst wind storm in several years, as the airport ASOS clocked a peak gust of 87 MPH. Countless trees/large branches were blown down within the city, along with several power lines, and there was also some (mainly) minor structural damage. Grand Island Emergency Center logged nearly 300 storm related incidents, including traffic hazards, power outages, alarms and fire concerns from sparking electricity. The storm also caused an (indirect) traffic fatality in rural Hall County southeast of Cairo, when a man crashed his pickup into a large, downed tree arched across a paved county road. To the south in Hastings, damage was less-severe overall, as the ASOS peak gust on the west side of town was only 70 MPH. However, stronger winds likely impacted areas just east of the city, as large trees were uprooted at Central Community College and several rail cars were reportedly blown over at a repair facility near the Clay County line. Several smaller communities also reported notable wind damage, including: Cairo, Alda, Wood River, Doniphan, Glenvil, and Fairfield. West of Clay Center, fairly extensive damage occurred on the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center campus, including broken windows and roof damage to several buildings. In addition to the aforementioned peak wind gusts at Grand Island/Hastings airports, some of the more notable unofficial (mesonet) gusts included: 85 MPH near Fairfield, 80 MPH near Alda and Wood River, 79 MPH in Doniphan and 73 MPH near Nelson. Despite the multitude of damaging wind reports, hail reports were quite scarce, as the vast majority of stones were likely dime size or smaller. Rainfall-wise, a fairly widespread coverage of 2-3 soaked several northern counties including: Valley, Greeley, Sherman, Nance and Merrick. Although resultant flooding was not very extensive in most of the area, the Mira Creek in southern Valley County breached its banks for the second time in five days, again prompting minor flooding on the north side of North Loup that continued into the early morning of the 8th.||Breaking down the timing and meteorological background of this event, it's worth noting that these South Central Nebraska damaging winds were actually the finale to a much longer swath of severe weather that initiated in southern ND and north central SD during the afternoon/evening of the 6th. Between 1-2 a.m. CDT on the 7th, the leading edge of this narrow-but-potent mesoscale convective system (MCS) entered far northern portions of the local area into Valley/Greeley counties, signaling its arrival with a 59 MPH gust at Ord airport. However, the worst was yet to come, as during the next few hours the storm complex morphed into more of an outflow-dominant, high-precipitation supercell, slamming through the Grand Island/Hastings areas between 2:30-3:30 a.m. CDT before eventually exiting Nuckolls/Thayer counties into Kansas by 5 a.m. CDT. In the wake of the main show, a few weaker clusters of storms redeveloped over parts of the area into the daylight hours, but were of little significance. In the big picture of the mid-upper levels, this event occurred within a fairly classic summertime northwest-flow regime, as the Central Plains resided northeast of an expansive ridge centered over New Mexico. At the surface, South Central Nebraska was on the backside of a weak ridge axis centered near the Nebraska-Iowa border. This promoted light-but-steady, south-southeast breezes in advance of the approaching storm complex, with surface dewpoints averaging mid-upper 60s F.

Through the rest of the day on the 23rd this system continued to deepen and become increasingly vertically-stacked, gradually sliding northeast into the central South Dakota/North Dakota border area by that evening. In response to this approaching system, surface low pressure intensified over northeastern Colorado into the southern border of Nebraska/Wyoming on the 22nd, bottoming out around 984 millibars by early evening. With South Central Nebraska sandwiched between this surface low and high pressure ridging southward through the entire eastern CONUS, the result was a tightening pressure gradient and intense southerly winds. Sustained southerly speeds of 35-45 MPH and gusts of 45-55 MPH were common across the area by midday on the 22nd. For western local counties, a few gusts had already crept a bit higher by mid-late afternoon, including 60 MPH at 3:30 p.m. CDT near Oxford in Harlan County. ||By mid-late afternoon on the 22nd, the main surface boundaries included the warm front (which had pushed north into southern South Dakota) and a dryline (which extended from South Dakota through west central Nebraska into western Kansas). This placed South Central Nebraska firmly in the warm sector, with well-above normal temperatures soaring into the mid 80s to mid 90s (F) and with dewpoints in far west-southwest locations near the dryline dropping into the 40s. This set the stage for critically-low relative humidity and fire weather conditions. Unfortunately, the fire danger threat was realized in a big-time way around 3:30 p.m. CDT when a wildfire ignited just outside the local area in far northwestern Norton County Kansas. Due to southerly winds gusting near 60 MPH, this fire quickly spread out of control and raced north-northwestward, primarily impacting areas along the Furnas/Red Willow County line. Firefighters were able to halt its forward progress by late that evening, but hot spots and flare ups continued through the overnight hours. Areas in and around Cambridge and Wilsonville were put on evacuation notices, with the town of Cambridge and surrounding areas eventually being evacuated. Fortunately, Cambridge itself was spared from the fire. This was the second significant wildfire to impact Furnas County in 15 days (the first being the Road 739 Fire that ignited on the 7th). In total, the Road 702 Fire burned approximately 44,000 acres, with the Furnas County portion in this South Central Nebraska coverage area accounting for around 15,000 acres (for more details regarding this fire please refer to the associated event narrative). ||In addition to the critical fire weather situation on the afternoon of the 22nd, a few scattered thunderstorms initiated along the surface dryline around 4 p.m. CDT. This initial cluster of storms developed in an environment with approximately 2000 j/kg mixed-layer CAPE but only around 30 knots of 0-6 kilometer shear. This activity moved out of the local area into north central Nebraska by early evening, but not before dropping hail up to the size of golf balls over Gothenburg around 5:30 p.m. CDT. Later into the mid-late evening hours, a more organized line of thunderstorms developed along the surface cold front over western Nebraska and Kansas as the main mid-upper level system pushed out of the Rockies into western Nebraska and South Dakota. This activity tracked east through South Central Nebraska mainly between 2-7 a.m. CDT on the 23rd. While most of these storms were sub-severe, increasing deep-layer shear and downdraft CAPE values near 1000 j/kg aided in a handful of storms producing severe gusts, including a peak gust of 65 MPH measured by a mesonet station located five miles north-northwest of Oxford. ||By around sunrise on the 23rd the surface low was located over south central South Dakota, with the initial cold front extending southward roughly along the Highway 81 corridor of South Central Nebraska, which prompted still-gusty winds to become southwesterly. A stronger, reinforcing cold front then made its way east across the area from mid-morning through the afternoon hours, ushering in a sharper switch to westerly winds and a cooler, drier air mass. Pressure rises and cold air advection in the wake of this frontal passage resulted in several hours of gusts near or exceeding 45-50 MPH, as well as a handful of gusts near 60 MPH. The highest measured gust through the afternoon and evening hours was 64 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island. This wind switch also made a significant impact on the Road 702 Fire situation in Furnas County, causing the fire to reignite and burn out of control once again (this time spreading eastward). Fortunately, late that evening firefighters were again able to stop its progression. A wind gust of 59 MPH was measured by a mesonet station located two miles north of Hastings.

The most prominent narrow swath of severe activity cut through the heart of the 24-county area, focusing within 10 miles either side of a line extending from Ord-Cairo-Hastings-Davenport as an initially isolated supercell merged with a separate cluster of severe storms to its west, forming the aforementioned MCS. During it's more supercellular phase near/north of the Highway 92 corridor (mainly 6:30-8:30 p.m. CDT), a combo of both damaging winds and large hail occurred, featuring measured gusts as high as 74 MPH at Ord airport and hail ranging from golf ball to baseball size particularly within western Howard and far northwestern Hall counties. In Howard County, a stripe of significant damage to crops and windows/siding was noted from around Farwell to west of Dannebrog.

Shortly before this storm complex exited the local area to the southeast between 11:00-11:30 p.m. CDT, wind intensity ramped down to slightly sub-severe levels within southern/eastern Thayer County. Although far from the only outdoor event interruption of the evening within South Central Nebraska, one of the more noteworthy ones associated with this MCS involved the Adams County Fairfest in Hastings, where an ongoing Nelly concert was cut short and an evacuation of the grounds was successfully initiated shortly before the storm struck. Although rain totals of 1-2 inches were common within the heart of the MCS track (overall highest inF Clay County), any flooding was of the very short term/nuisance variety. To the west of the aforementioned primary swath of severe weather, a few separate and smaller-scale areas of strong to severe storms impacted portions of primarily Furnas, Buffalo and Dawson counties mainly between 7-9 p.m. CDT.

However, the initial storm development off to the north and west of the area appeared to be tied to weak convergence along a pair of subtle boundaries. Despite the aforementioned weak forcing and also weak mid level lapse rates, the environment featured plentiful low level moisture/instability and seasonably-decent deep layer wind shear of 30-40 knots.

This event began well west and northwest of the Hastings County Warning Area (CWA), within the Nebraska Panhandle, during the late afternoon and early evening hours as a small cluster of thunderstorms. These thunderstorms became severe at various points during their eastward track across the Nebraska Sandhills through the evening, but it wasn���t until they reached the North Platte and Broken Bow areas around 9PM CDT that they became significantly organized and severe. This activity quickly moved into W and NW portions of the CWA between 9-10PM CDT, with the strongest thunderstorms and associated wind gusts focused across Dawson County. Wind gusts of 65 MPH to nearly 80 MPH were common across the county, which resulted in widespread tree damage and numerous power outages. Activity quickly grew upscale in terms of coverage and intensity as it shifted SE, and by 10 PM CDT, there was a solid line of thunderstorms from Nance County to Buffalo County to northern Gosper County that would prove to become a prolific damaging wind producer over the next couple of hours, including for the three largest cities in the Hastings CWA - Kearney, Grand Island, and Hastings. Wind gusts of 60-80 MPH were either reported or estimated in all of these areas. Not surprisingly, impacts were fairly significant, especially in terms of the overall scope of tree damage and power outages, including snapped power poles and healthy trees that were snapped off near the ground. Some of the trees fell onto homes and vehicles. In Kearney, a roof was partially torn off a movie theater, which also led to extensive water damage due to the torrential rain. Conditions became treacherous along Interstate 80 as the strong wind gusts on the leading edge of the thunderstorms led to overturned semi-trucks, other trailers, and campers, as well as very limited visibility due to blowing dust. As the line of thunderstorms moved east of Highway 281, some localized corridors of particularly intense winds, observed or estimated to be as high as 80-95 MPH, developed across portions of eastern Hall County, southern Hamilton County, and northern Clay County between 10:30-11:30 PM CDT. The most intense wind occurred in a swath from around Central Nebraska Regional Airport, where an 84 MPH gust was measured, southeast towards areas near and south of Aurora, to near Giltner. Damage in these areas included: significant tree and power line damage, snapped power poles, flattened crops, overturned pivots, damaged or destroyed grain bins and outbuildings, and two blown over semi-trucks on Interstate 80. Some tree limbs fell on cars and buildings, and some minor roof and window damage occurred to a few businesses. Perhaps the most impressive damage was downed high-voltage transmission lines approximately 4 miles south of Aurora where they cross Interstate 80. This led to traffic issues in the area for a time. Similar tree, power line, crop, irrigation pivot, and grain bin/outbuilding damage was reported in portions of Clay County. The line of thunderstorms weakened slightly as they shifted E and SE towards the Highway 81 corridor between 11PM and midnight, though gusts of 65-75 MPH were still reported in York, Fillmore, and Thayer Counties. Most notable damage (other than tree and power line damage) were half dozen overturned pivots, flattened corn, and a tree falling on a car. Severe thunderstorms finally exited south central Nebraska by 1AM on July 10. When all was said and done, a nearly continuous swath of relatively concentrated wind damage 30 to 50 miles wide occurred from near North Platte, NE to areas just E/NE of Hebron, NE. Gov. Ricketts declared disaster declaration for 14 total counties in Nebraska, including Clay, Fillmore, Hall, Hamilton and York counties in our CWA, and it was ultimately approved by President Biden. Preliminary assessment by FEMA estimated over 30 million dollars in damages.||Meteorologically speaking, this complex of thunderstorms was not unexpected, though intensity forecasts were ramped up just hours before the onset. SPC outlooks increased from a ���Slight��� risk in the morning, to an ���Enhanced��� risk for the western half of the CWA in the 3PM CDT update. The ���Enhanced��� risk was expanded to include all of south central Nebraska with the evening update. Strong wind shear (effective shear 50-60kt) was a consistent feature of the forecast, with the primary uncertainty being low level moisture quality and how much instability there would be for storms to work with as they moved off of the High Plains. Ultimately, low level moisture, in particular surface dew points, were much higher than modeled. For example, surface dew points were well into the mid 70s across a large portion of central and south central Nebraska, vs. modeled dew points in the 60s. This discrepancy was likely due to strong evapotranspiration from irrigation and mature crops, as well as weak low level mixing. As such, instability was very strong with MUCAPE of 5000-7000 J/kg, and this continued well into the overnight hours. Downdraft CAPE was also high at around 1000-1300 J/kg. Not surprisingly, the Derecho Composite parameter peaked between 4-6, which was significant. A wind gust of 63 MPH was recorded at 10:56 PM CDT by the Hastings Airport and a wind gust of 61 MPH was recorded at 10:47 PM CDT by the mesonet station located at the NWS Hastings office four miles north of Hastings.

Quite simply, this was a nasty wind storm, packing a punch with gusts ranging from around 60 to nearly 90 MPH along and several miles either side of a line stretching from Ord-Grand Island-Hastings-Hardy. For the city of Grand Island, this was likely the overall-worst wind storm in several years, as the airport ASOS clocked a peak gust of 87 MPH. Countless trees/large branches were blown down within the city, along with several power lines, and there was also some (mainly) minor structural damage. Grand Island Emergency Center logged nearly 300 storm related incidents, including traffic hazards, power outages, alarms and fire concerns from sparking electricity. The storm also caused an (indirect) traffic fatality in rural Hall County southeast of Cairo, when a man crashed his pickup into a large, downed tree arched across a paved county road. To the south in Hastings, damage was less-severe overall, as the ASOS peak gust on the west side of town was only 70 MPH. However, stronger winds likely impacted areas just east of the city, as large trees were uprooted at Central Community College and several rail cars were reportedly blown over at a repair facility near the Clay County line. Several smaller communities also reported notable wind damage, including: Cairo, Alda, Wood River, Doniphan, Glenvil, and Fairfield. West of Clay Center, fairly extensive damage occurred on the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center campus, including broken windows and roof damage to several buildings. In addition to the aforementioned peak wind gusts at Grand Island/Hastings airports, some of the more notable unofficial (mesonet) gusts included: 85 MPH near Fairfield, 80 MPH near Alda and Wood River, 79 MPH in Doniphan and 73 MPH near Nelson. Despite the multitude of damaging wind reports, hail reports were quite scarce, as the vast majority of stones were likely dime size or smaller. Rainfall-wise, a fairly widespread coverage of 2-3 soaked several northern counties including: Valley, Greeley, Sherman, Nance and Merrick. Although resultant flooding was not very extensive in most of the area, the Mira Creek in southern Valley County breached its banks for the second time in five days, again prompting minor flooding on the north side of North Loup that continued into the early morning of the 8th.||Breaking down the timing and meteorological background of this event, it's worth noting that these South Central Nebraska damaging winds were actually the finale to a much longer swath of severe weather that initiated in southern ND and north central SD during the afternoon/evening of the 6th. Between 1-2 a.m. CDT on the 7th, the leading edge of this narrow-but-potent mesoscale convective system (MCS) entered far northern portions of the local area into Valley/Greeley counties, signaling its arrival with a 59 MPH gust at Ord airport. However, the worst was yet to come, as during the next few hours the storm complex morphed into more of an outflow-dominant, high-precipitation supercell, slamming through the Grand Island/Hastings areas between 2:30-3:30 a.m. CDT before eventually exiting Nuckolls/Thayer counties into Kansas by 5 a.m. CDT. In the wake of the main show, a few weaker clusters of storms redeveloped over parts of the area into the daylight hours, but were of little significance. In the big picture of the mid-upper levels, this event occurred within a fairly classic summertime northwest-flow regime, as the Central Plains resided northeast of an expansive ridge centered over New Mexico. At the surface, South Central Nebraska was on the backside of a weak ridge axis centered near the Nebraska-Iowa border. This promoted light-but-steady, south-southeast breezes in advance of the approaching storm complex, with surface dewpoints averaging mid-upper 60s F. Although there were question marks about how far southward into Nebraska the potential severe weather threat would extend, the combination of seasonably-stout flow aloft (deep-layer wind shear of at least 40-60 knots) and sufficient instability (mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg) was clearly supportive of an intense late-night storm. Also enhancing the severe weather environment was a modest, 30 knot southwesterly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) and its associated low-level warm air/moisture advection. Widespread wind gusts of 70 to 85 MPH occurred along this path. A 85 MPH wind gust was measured by a mesonet station located 2 miles west-northwest of Fairfield, and a 70 MPH wind gusts was measured by a mesonet station located 2 miles north-northeast of Deweese. Building damage was reported in the Glenvil and Fairfield areas, with the COOP building in Fairfield losing an entire wall. Numerous trees and power lines were down across the Glenvil, Fairfield and Deweese areas. Several area pivots were damaged, and a grain bin collapse occurred in Fairfield.

This event will likely go down as the most widespread severe weather event of the spring and summer of 2020 for the Hastings County Warning Area (CWA). Thunderstorms developed along a cold front across north central Nebraska, and also within a zone of low level upslope flow over western Nebraska and northeast Colorado, during the early evening hours of July 8th. Both areas of development initially contained both line segments and embedded supercells, posing risks for all severe hazards, but quickly organized into two separate lines of convection, or quasi linear convective systems (QLCSs). By 9pm CDT, one line extended roughly west to east from Thedford, NE to O'Neill, NE and was moving southeast, while the other line extended roughly north to south from near Thedford, NE to just west of McCook, NE and was moving mainly east. Shortly thereafter, both lines began to merge together into one coherent line. Thunderstorms began to enter far northern and western portions of the CWA around 10pm CDT. By this time, thunderstorms already had a history of producing 60 to 75 mph wind gusts and a few instances of large hail just northwest and west of the CWA. The line of thunderstorms strengthened and organized further as they shifted southeast into the CWA between 10-11pm CDT. In fact, an impressive bow echo developed over Gosper and Furnas Counties during this time and raced eastward, affecting areas primarily between Interstate 80 in south central Nebraska and Highway 36 in north central Kansas. Severe wind gusts remained the primary threat. The QLCS had taken on an ���S��� shape by 11pm CDT, slanting southwest to northeast. The greatest concentration of severe wind reports occurred over central and eastern portions of the CWA, roughly from Grand Island and Hastings eastward to York and Hebron, between 11pm CDT on July 8th and 1am CDT on July 9th as forward speed increased dramatically. Several wind gusts were measured between 70-75mph in this area, including a peak wind gust of 75mph in Thayer County. Not surprisingly, widespread wind damage was reported, as well, especially to trees, power lines, and crops. Downed tree limbs (medium to large size) and snapped small trees were fairly common. Power outages were also common across many small towns during the overnight and into the early morning hours, though an exact estimation of peak power outages is unknown. A few buildings also sustained damage, such as blown in doors and roof damage from fallen trees and lost shingles.

This first storm complex, which traversed the area between 10:30 p.m. and 3 a.m. CDT, produced a swath of damaging winds ranging anywhere from 60 up to around 90 MPH, particularly within a corridor centered roughly 15 miles either side of a line from Cambridge-Minden-Hastings-Sutton.

This primary linear MCS exhibited impressive radar signatures including a bookend vortex and rear inflow notch, with the system as a whole taking on a notable S-shape on reflectivity. As the initial MCS began departing the local area into eastern Nebraska, a second round of storms got underway back to the west, in response to lift above the residual cold pool.

The most prominent narrow swath of severe activity cut through the heart of the 24-county area, focusing within 10 miles either side of a line extending from Ord-Cairo-Hastings-Davenport as an initially isolated supercell merged with a separate cluster of severe storms to its west, forming the aforementioned MCS. During it's more supercellular phase near/north of the Highway 92 corridor (mainly 6:30-8:30 p.m. CDT), a combo of both damaging winds and large hail occurred, featuring measured gusts as high as 74 MPH at Ord airport and hail ranging from golf ball to baseball size particularly within western Howard and far northwestern Hall counties. In Howard County, a stripe of significant damage to crops and windows/siding was noted from around Farwell to west of Dannebrog. As this MCS reached areas near/south of Interstate 80 (primarily 9-11 p.m. CDT) the hail threat waned but damaging winds continued, evidenced by a measured 58 MPH gust at Hastings airport and unofficial mesonet-measured gusts of 67 MPH near Nelson and 62 MPH near Davenport. Within Clay County, tree branches were downed in several communities including Trumbull, Deweese, Fairfield and Edgar. Shortly before this storm complex exited the local area to the southeast between 11:00-11:30 p.m. CDT, wind intensity ramped down to slightly sub-severe levels within southern/eastern Thayer County. Although far from the only outdoor event interruption of the evening within South Central Nebraska, one of the more noteworthy ones associated with this MCS involved the Adams County Fairfest in Hastings, where an ongoing Nelly concert was cut short and an evacuation of the grounds was successfully initiated shortly before the storm struck. Although rain totals of 1-2 inches were common within the heart of the MCS track (overall highest inF Clay County), any flooding was of the very short term/nuisance variety. To the west of the aforementioned primary swath of severe weather, a few separate and smaller-scale areas of strong to severe storms impacted portions of primarily Furnas, Buffalo and Dawson counties mainly between 7-9 p.m. CDT. In Furnas County, a relatively small but intense supercell roamed northern and eastern parts of the county, with estimated 80 MPH winds destroying an outbuilding and grain bin at a farmstead between Holbrook and Arapahoe. Meanwhile, other semi-discrete convection within parts of Buffalo/Dawson counties yielded a few wind reports including a mesonet-measured 64 MPH gust near Kearney and a slightly sub-severe 54 MPH speed near Lexington. The eastern reaches of this activity eventually merged with the primary MCS as it charged across the I-80 corridor and into the Hastings area. ||Finishing with some details regarding the evolution and meteorology behind this event, the initial development of isolated to scattered thunderstorms during the mid-late afternoon hours occurred in separate areas slightly off to the north and also west of South Central Nebraska, with this early activity gradually increasing in both coverage/intensity as it evolved into the local area. In the mid-upper levels, forcing was fairly weak, featuring only subtle shortwave energy working into the region in west-northwest flow, directed around the northeastern periphery of a large-scale ridge centered over the Four Corners region. At the surface, there were also no significant features of note locally, with most of South Central Nebraska simply reporting 5-15 MPH east-southeasterly breezes during the afternoon. However, the initial storm development off to the north and west of the area appeared to be tied to weak convergence along a pair of subtle boundaries. Despite the aforementioned weak forcing and also weak mid level lapse rates, the environment featured plentiful low level moisture/instability and seasonably-decent deep layer wind shear of 30-40 knots. Ahead of the incoming storms, late afternoon temperatures in the upper 80s-low 90s (F) and dewpoints in the upper 60s-mid 70s promoted mixed-layer CAPE 2000-3000 J/kg. A wind gust of 58 MPH was measured by a mesonet station located on the north side of Hastings.

Shortly thereafter, both lines began to merge together into one coherent line. Thunderstorms began to enter far northern and western portions of the CWA around 10pm CDT. By this time, thunderstorms already had a history of producing 60 to 75 mph wind gusts and a few instances of large hail just northwest and west of the CWA. The line of thunderstorms strengthened and organized further as they shifted southeast into the CWA between 10-11pm CDT.

The greatest concentration of severe wind reports occurred over central and eastern portions of the CWA, roughly from Grand Island and Hastings eastward to York and Hebron, between 11pm CDT on July 8th and 1am CDT on July 9th as forward speed increased dramatically. Several wind gusts were measured between 70-75mph in this area, including a peak wind gust of 75mph in Thayer County. Not surprisingly, widespread wind damage was reported, as well, especially to trees, power lines, and crops. Downed tree limbs (medium to large size) and snapped small trees were fairly common. Power outages were also common across many small towns during the overnight and into the early morning hours, though an exact estimation of peak power outages is unknown. A few buildings also sustained damage, such as blown in doors and roof damage from fallen trees and lost shingles. Finally, a brief EF-0 tornado was determined to have occurred in Merrick County, with peak winds estimated to be around 85mph. Damage was limited. The leading edge of the QLCS, and associated peak wind threat, shifted east and southeast of the CWA by 1AM CDT, though lingering stratiform rain as well as a northwest to southeast band of thunderstorms near the state line continued for a few more hours.

In addition to dropping three fairly brief EF-0 tornadoes in southeastern Hamilton and northeastern Clay counties, its main calling card was large hail, with several reports of golf ball to slightly larger than baseball size stones in Clay/Nuckolls counties, and smaller hail to around quarter size as far north as Osceola. Interestingly, damaging winds were not a major player, with no ground-truth gusts in excess of 50 MPH. Focusing on specific storm reports, and starting with the three EF-0 tornadoes, they all occurred between 5-6 p.m. CDT, touching down briefly along a roughly 15-mile long corridor from near Interstate 80 a few miles south of Hampton, down to the Saronville area. Per storm surveys, the first two tornadoes were each on the ground for roughly 2 miles. While the majority of minor damage was confined to crops and trees, a lean-to shed was destroyed and a pivot overturned. As for the hail, the largest reported was 3 diameter between Clay Center and Harvard, but towns including Sutton and Nelson endured stones to at least tennis ball size. Flooding was not much of an issue, as the storm was progressive enough to keep rainfall amounts largely under one inch. ||Breaking down the meteorological background and event timing, this was actually a fairly conditional severe weather setup for South Central Nebraska, with various pros and cons for/against robust activity. In the mid-upper levels, the local area resided a fair distance south of a vigorous shortwave trough swinging across the Dakotas towards northern MN, resulting in fairly limited forcing aloft. Also working against convection (especially widespread severe) was a plume of warm mid level temperatures, with 700 millibar values of 12-14C providing a healthy cap. On the other hand, low-level forcing was seasonably-strong, as a well-defined cold front slid southeastward into the area during the afternoon. Ahead of this boundary, a significantly-unstable airmass awaited, featuring temperatures in the upper 80s-low 90s F/dewpoints upper 60s-mid 70s F, yielding formidable mixed-layer CAPE around 4000 J/kg. This extreme instability, in the presence of sufficient deep-layer wind shear around 35 knots, clearly fostered a mesoscale environment capable of stout convection. As for what actually transpired, the main show was preceded by a broken line of non-severe, likely elevated storms that passed primarily through counties south of Interstate 80 and east of Highway 281 between 12:30-3:30 p.m. CDT. About the time this innocuous early afternoon activity was departing the local area to the southeast, a broken line of true, surface-based storms got going along the front in northeast Nebraska, with the southwestern-most cell building down into the far northeast corner of South Central Nebraska (eastern Nance/northeast Merrick/northern Polk counties) between 3-4 p.m. CDT. Within an hour thereafter, this tail end Charlie storm rapidly grew into a full-blown supercell over Polk/northern York counties, producing its first marginally-severe hail reports. During the following two hours (5-7 p.m. CDT), the storm anchored itself firmly to the surface front, with new updraft generation along its western edge promoting more of a southwestward propagation and causing it to grow larger in both intensity/size, becoming more of a supercell cluster. It was during this time that the brief tornadoes occurred along the storm's far western flank, likely driven by pronounced low-level vorticity stretching along the surface front. While the sporadic tornado touchdowns were brief, the storm continued to be a prolific hail-producer as it gradually exited the local area out of Nuckolls County into northern Kansas between 7-8 p.m. CDT, ending all South Central Nebraska convection for the night.

For the first round, thunderstorms initially formed near the South Dakota and Nebraska border during the early afternoon hours, then shifted southeast into central Nebraska and eventually the northwest portions of the GID CWA during the late afternoon and early evening. Most of the severe reports were associated with an intense supercell on the southwestern flank of a line of thunderstorms. This supercell tracked from just south of Valentine to Broken Bow before it entered the local area in Buffalo and Sherman Counties around 5:30PM CDT. Multiple reports of 50-60mph wind gusts were received, along with 5 ft tall corn being blown over in northern Buffalo County. This thunderstorm continued southeast and impacted Kearney with 60-70mph winds, including a 61mph gust at the Kearney Airport. Additional severe wind reports, and even some quarter to half dollar size hail, occurred in Kearney County before the system weakened as it neared the state line during the late evening.

The culprits were two separate linear mesoscale convective systems (MCS), with the first one by far the most impactful. This first storm complex, which traversed the area between 10:30 p.m. and 3 a.m. CDT, produced a swath of damaging winds ranging anywhere from 60 up to around 90 MPH, particularly within a corridor centered roughly 15 miles either side of a line from Cambridge-Minden-Hastings-Sutton. Within this area, there were countless reports of damage, particularly to the likes of trees (many large trees uprooted), power poles/lines and irrigation pivots, but also to some structures (mainly rural outbuildings). A short list of some of the hardest-hit communities included: Arapahoe, Oxford, Kenesaw and Hastings, with Hastings likely enduring its most widespread tree damage in roughly five years. As just a few specific instances of damage and/or measured winds: a grain bin and outbuilding were destroyed near Holbrook with irrigation pipe blown up to one-half mile; an unofficial mesonet gusted to 95 MPH near Oxford; several farm outbuildings were damaged/destroyed near Phillips with sheet metal hanging in trees. Within the Tri Cities, Hastings clearly bore the brunt of wind issues, as Grand Island and Kearney only received a glancing blow of sub-severe gusts mainly in the 40-55 MPH range. However, some places outside of the main damage swath still weren't spared from storm impacts, including in Farwell, where a lightning-induced fire damaged a portion of the fire hall. This primary linear MCS exhibited impressive radar signatures including a bookend vortex and rear inflow notch, with the system as a whole taking on a notable S-shape on reflectivity. As the initial MCS began departing the local area into eastern Nebraska, a second round of storms got underway back to the west, in response to lift above the residual cold pool. Although not nearly as intense/organized as the earlier system, this convection congealed into a northeast-southwest oriented MCS as it entered southwestern counties such as Furnas/Gosper/Harlan between 3:30-4:30 a.m. CDT. For a while, this second system remained slightly sub-severe, with peak gusts only to around 50 MPH (including 53 MPH at Hastings airport). However, some intensification to marginally-severe levels occurred between 5:30-6:30 a.m. CDT in far southeast counties, evidenced by mesonet wind gusts of 67 MPH near Superior and 60 MPH at Davenport. The back edge of this second MCS departed the local area out of Thayer County by 7 a.m. CDT, finally ending the rocky night. ||Interestingly, severe-criteria hail was very limited during this event, taking a clear backseat to damaging winds. However, a few quarter size stones were reported in and near communities such as Cambridge and Nelson. The Cambridge area was likely the hardest-hit, as copious amounts of mainly small hail combined with winds to promote fairly extensive crop damage. Rainfall-wise, the majority of South Central Nebraska measured between 0.50-1.50, holding flooding issues at bay. However, there were limited corridors of 2-3+, particularly within parts of Furnas/Gosper/Phelps counties. Including more rain that fell on the morning of the 22nd, Thayer County actually dealt with some of the worst flooding issues in the ensuing few days, such as water over several rural roads and a bridge washout north of Chester. ||Looking at the meteorological setup, this was a fairly classic recipe for intense overnight convection in the Central Plains. In the mid-upper levels, seasonably-strong, west-southwesterly flow was in place, downstream from a large-scale trough centered over the Northern Rockies. At the surface, South Central Nebraska resided just north of a west-east oriented front stretched near the Kansas border. As a low-amplitude disturbance entered southern Nebraska during the evening, this forcing combined with a very unstable airmass and increasing moisture convergence within the exit region of a 30-40 knot southerly low level jet to spark the MCS activity. By late-night standards, it was a fairly volatile mesoscale environment, featuring 2000-4000 J/kg most-unstable CAPE and 30-40 knots of deep-layer wind shear.

The first of these intense storms entered the local area into far eastern Nance County shortly after 7 p.m. CDT, striking Genoa and vicinity with a combination of estimated 70 MPH winds and nickel to quarter size hail. Around 8 p.m. CDT it reached central Polk County, pummeling the Osceola area with several minutes of hail up to 2 inches in diameter. An NeRAIN observer seven miles north of Osceola reported significantly stripped corn and that house flowers are now sticks. The supercell continued into eastern York County, still producing hail up to golf ball size in Thayer and ping pong balls east of McCool Junction. Around 9:30 p.m. CDT a weakening trend had commenced, but not before the storm brushed northeast Fillmore County on its way out of the local area and blew down a few tree branches near Exeter. Meanwhile, about 60 miles back to the northwest, another supercell somewhat-unexpectedly fired up over northern Nance County around 9 p.m. CDT. This storm was not as proficient of a large hail producer as its predecessor (largest reported was quarter size near Clarks and Hordville), but it packed more of a wind punch as its core started collapsing over the Hamilton-York County line between 10-10:30 p.m. CDT. Most notably, estimated 70 MPH gusts blew over a semi truck on Interstate 80 near the Hampton exit and also damaged a roof and broke power poles near Bradshaw. Shortly thereafter, this second supercell began dissipating, fading from radar over southeastern Fillmore County around 1130 p.m. CDT and bringing an end to all convection for the night. ||Forecast-wise, this was considered an all-or-nothing setup for South Central Nebraska in the early morning local forecast discussion, as some computer models correctly predicted the presence of supercells locally, while others insisted that all regional convection would focus at least slightly east-northeast of the area altogether. This uncertainty was understandable given various pros and cons at play. One of the biggest pros for robust supercell development was seasonably-strong deep layer wind shear of 40-50 knots, as the area resided under pronounced northwesterly flow within the interface between an expansive ridge over the southwestern states and a deep southeast Canada trough. As for cons, they were mainly highlighted by seasonably-unimpressive low level moisture and resultant instability. Although afternoon temperatures soared to around 90 (F) to the south of a west-east oriented warm front across northeast Nebraska, dewpoints along the front struggled to reach the low-60s during peak heating, yielding fairly modest mixed-layer CAPE no higher than 1000-1500 J/kg. Ultimately though, persistent low-level convergence along the intersection of the aforementioned warm front and a subtle, northeast-southwest oriented trough proved sufficient to spark convective initiation as early as 4 p.m. CDT about 60 miles to the north of South Central Nebraska. This early convection drifted more eastward initially, but eventually dove more southward as it intensified, allowing the first supercell to infiltrate far northeastern local counties. For a while it appeared this would be South Central Nebraska's only severe storm of the evening, but the second one likely ignited as the onset of a southwesterly low level jet converged into the first storm's trailing outflow.

Focusing first on severe winds, most estimated or measured gusts were in the 50-70 MPH range and associated with primarily tree damage. However a few isolated structural damage reports were more suggestive of at least 75-80 MPH, including: 1) 10 power poles blown down and three grain bins destroyed (along with some overturned irrigation pivots) west of Aurora...2) grain bin damage and overturned pivots north of Minden. Hail was more limited overall, but stones reached golf ball size at Pauline and ping pong ball size in Davenport, while Hastings saw nickel to quarter size hail. Rainfall amounts varied considerably (most of South Central Nebraska had less than one-half inch), but a fairly narrow swath of at least 1.50-2.50 targeted parts of primarily Thayer/Nuckolls/Clay counties, with one unofficial report as high as 3.17 near Belvidere. Flooding was fairly minimal, although one rural road along the Fillmore/Thayer County line still had water running across it around sunrise. ||As for storm mode/evolution, this was a somewhat complex event. The first local convection of the night entered the Furnas County area out of northwest Kansas after 11 p.m. CDT, in the form of a compact linear mesoscale convective system (MCS) on a weakening trend. But then, between midnight-1 a.m. CDT, a broken band of intense, semi-discrete storms erupted out ahead of this MCS along a west-east axis centered from Phelps-Adams-Thayer counties (likely in response to the onset of a healthy low level jet). However, these initially semi-discrete storms (which accounted for all large hail reports) quickly consolidated/grew upscale into a new linear MCS that charged north-northeast across the Highway 6/Interstate 80 corridors between 1-2 a.m. CDT, gradually merging with the initial MCS racing up from the southwest in the process. During the ensuing hour, the two complexes completed a full merger; the northern end weakening as it reached far northeastern counties (such as Nance/Polk), while the southern end remained severe through Fillmore/Thayer counties before departing the local area into southeast Nebraska. This ended any severe threat for the night, although weaker storms and broader showers persisted until around sunrise in some spots. This was a ripe setup for severe nocturnal storms, especially with the exit region of a 30-40 knot southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) aimed into the heart of South Central Nebraska after dark, and tapping into a large reservoir of most-unstable CAPE as high as 2000-3000 J/kg. In the mid-upper levels, flow over the region was not overly-strong, but contained various low-amplitude disturbances and was in the process of transitioning more southwesterly in response to a larger-scale trough setting up over the northwestern United States. There were no distinct surface features across the local area, but steady light southeast breezes prior to storm initiation maintained seasonably-high dewpoints in the mid-60s to low-70 F. Likely one of the main limiting factors against a more robust severe threat was only modest deep-layer wind shear around 30 knots. Wind gusts were estimated to be near 60 MPH, knocking down numerous tree branches up to 3 inches in diameter.", "ts_dict_index": [8052, 8053, 8054]} +{"event_id": 965365, "event_type": "Thunderstorm Wind", "state": "KENTUCKY", "cz_name": "PULASKI", "begin_date_time": "2021-07-30 03:17:00", "end_date_time": "2021-07-30 03:17:00", "narrative": "A strong low pressure system was present over the Great Lakes region to start the day on July 29th.

Focusing first on severe winds, most estimated or measured gusts were in the 50-70 MPH range and associated with primarily tree damage. However a few isolated structural damage reports were more suggestive of at least 75-80 MPH, including: 1) 10 power poles blown down and three grain bins destroyed (along with some overturned irrigation pivots) west of Aurora...2) grain bin damage and overturned pivots north of Minden. Hail was more limited overall, but stones reached golf ball size at Pauline and ping pong ball size in Davenport, while Hastings saw nickel to quarter size hail. Rainfall amounts varied considerably (most of South Central Nebraska had less than one-half inch), but a fairly narrow swath of at least 1.50-2.50 targeted parts of primarily Thayer/Nuckolls/Clay counties, with one unofficial report as high as 3.17 near Belvidere. Flooding was fairly minimal, although one rural road along the Fillmore/Thayer County line still had water running across it around sunrise. ||As for storm mode/evolution, this was a somewhat complex event. The first local convection of the night entered the Furnas County area out of northwest Kansas after 11 p.m. CDT, in the form of a compact linear mesoscale convective system (MCS) on a weakening trend. But then, between midnight-1 a.m. CDT, a broken band of intense, semi-discrete storms erupted out ahead of this MCS along a west-east axis centered from Phelps-Adams-Thayer counties (likely in response to the onset of a healthy low level jet). However, these initially semi-discrete storms (which accounted for all large hail reports) quickly consolidated/grew upscale into a new linear MCS that charged north-northeast across the Highway 6/Interstate 80 corridors between 1-2 a.m. CDT, gradually merging with the initial MCS racing up from the southwest in the process. During the ensuing hour, the two complexes completed a full merger; the northern end weakening as it reached far northeastern counties (such as Nance/Polk), while the southern end remained severe through Fillmore/Thayer counties before departing the local area into southeast Nebraska. This ended any severe threat for the night, although weaker storms and broader showers persisted until around sunrise in some spots. This was a ripe setup for severe nocturnal storms, especially with the exit region of a 30-40 knot southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) aimed into the heart of South Central Nebraska after dark, and tapping into a large reservoir of most-unstable CAPE as high as 2000-3000 J/kg. In the mid-upper levels, flow over the region was not overly-strong, but contained various low-amplitude disturbances and was in the process of transitioning more southwesterly in response to a larger-scale trough setting up over the northwestern United States. There were no distinct surface features across the local area, but steady light southeast breezes prior to storm initiation maintained seasonably-high dewpoints in the mid-60s to low-70 F. Likely one of the main limiting factors against a more robust severe threat was only modest deep-layer wind shear around 30 knots. Wind gusts were estimated to be near 60 MPH.

This event will likely go down as the most widespread severe weather event of the spring and summer of 2020 for the Hastings County Warning Area (CWA). Thunderstorms developed along a cold front across north central Nebraska, and also within a zone of low level upslope flow over western Nebraska and northeast Colorado, during the early evening hours of July 8th. Both areas of development initially contained both line segments and embedded supercells, posing risks for all severe hazards, but quickly organized into two separate lines of convection, or quasi linear convective systems (QLCSs). By 9pm CDT, one line extended roughly west to east from Thedford, NE to O'Neill, NE and was moving southeast, while the other line extended roughly north to south from near Thedford, NE to just west of McCook, NE and was moving mainly east. Shortly thereafter, both lines began to merge together into one coherent line. Thunderstorms began to enter far northern and western portions of the CWA around 10pm CDT. By this time, thunderstorms already had a history of producing 60 to 75 mph wind gusts and a few instances of large hail just northwest and west of the CWA. The line of thunderstorms strengthened and organized further as they shifted southeast into the CWA between 10-11pm CDT. In fact, an impressive bow echo developed over Gosper and Furnas Counties during this time and raced eastward, affecting areas primarily between Interstate 80 in south central Nebraska and Highway 36 in north central Kansas. Severe wind gusts remained the primary threat. The QLCS had taken on an ���S��� shape by 11pm CDT, slanting southwest to northeast. The greatest concentration of severe wind reports occurred over central and eastern portions of the CWA, roughly from Grand Island and Hastings eastward to York and Hebron, between 11pm CDT on July 8th and 1am CDT on July 9th as forward speed increased dramatically. Several wind gusts were measured between 70-75mph in this area, including a peak wind gust of 75mph in Thayer County. Not surprisingly, widespread wind damage was reported, as well, especially to trees, power lines, and crops. Downed tree limbs (medium to large size) and snapped small trees were fairly common. Power outages were also common across many small towns during the overnight and into the early morning hours, though an exact estimation of peak power outages is unknown. A few buildings also sustained damage, such as blown in doors and roof damage from fallen trees and lost shingles. Finally, a brief EF-0 tornado was determined to have occurred in Merrick County, with peak winds estimated to be around 85mph. Damage was limited. The leading edge of the QLCS, and associated peak wind threat, shifted east and southeast of the CWA by 1AM CDT, though lingering stratiform rain as well as a northwest to southeast band of thunderstorms near the state line continued for a few more hours. The only severe hail reported with this event was along the southwest flank of the QLCS over Furnas County, where thunderstorms continued to regenerate. A few instances of quarter to golf ball size hail was reported.||Meteorologically speaking, this severe wind event was driven largely by a cold front interacting with a strongly unstable airmass due to steep mid level lapse rates, strong heating, and moist boundary layer. Initially cellular activity quickly grew upscale into line segments owing to the linear forcing along the cold front and generally outflow dominated activity, with peak DCAPE values in excess of 1500 J/kg. The primary shortwave trough responsible for the cold front remained well north of the area, near the Montana/Canadian border, but several weak perturbations moving west to east over the cold front likely aided in thunderstorm development as well. A distinct mesoscale convective vortex, modest deep layer shear of 30-35 knots, and an intensifying southerly low level jet up to 45 knots sustained the severe convection well past sunset. Finally, it's worth noting that an impressive surface pressure rise/fall couplet of at least 3mb/2hr accompanied the QLCS across the CWA between 05Z and 07Z.

The cold front already had a history of producing severe caliber, non-thunderstorm, straight line winds over western and central Nebraska, and this trend continued along and just behind the cold front as it marched through south central Nebraska. The strongest winds, initially, were focused roughly along an area from Furnas County northeast into Buffalo County, where measured and estimated wind gusts of 55-65 mph were fairly common. Damage reports from these areas were fairly typical for winds of this magnitude and mainly limited to tree and power line damage. By 7:30pm CDT, an area of showers and thunderstorms developed along and just behind the cold front over Kearney and Franklin Counties as the cold front continued to progress east. This activity reached roughly the Highway 281 corridor from Grand Island to Hastings around 8pm CDT. Wind gusts associated with the passage of the cold front had weakened slightly by this time, but were still quite strong around 50-55 mph, with mainly minor tree damage and power outages reported in the Tri Cities. After 8pm CDT, the area of thunderstorms began to expand northeast and connected up with existing thunderstorms that had already developed along the cold front over northeast and east central Nebraska, essentially filling in a gap that had existed in between the two thunderstorm clusters. Thunderstorm intensity increased just east of Hastings between 8pm CDT and 8:30pm CDT, such that the wind gusts produced by the thunderstorms exacerbated the already-high ambient synoptically driven non-thunderstorm wind gusts associated with the cold front. This resulted in the strongest wind gusts of the evening, generally 60 to 70mph, in a swath that covered portions of Clay, Fillmore, and Thayer Counties. Significant tree damage occurred in these areas, along with damage to a few empty grain bins. Another significant impact, albeit somewhat less obvious or common than typical tree/power line damage, was blowing dust and corn stalks (this event occurred during the harvest season) that led to reduced visibility and ultimately contributed to a four-vehicle accident along Highway 81 just north of Bruning. Another incidence of poor visibility caused a vehicle to leave the roadway in Clay County. ||The highest wind gust with this event was 71 mph, measured by a mesonet station in Thayer County. As mentioned above, the damaging wind events in the eastern half of the CWA were largely driven by convective winds that enhanced already-high ambient winds. Farther west, the severe wind was non-convective and driven by intense pressure rises behind the cold front on the order of 3-5 mb/2 hrs. Overall, this event was one of the more significant wind events of the season and was somewhat unique due to the narrow overlap, spatially and temporally, of both convective and non-convective damaging winds.

While most hail was in the quarter to golf ball size range, larger stones of 2-3 diameter fell in the Chapman and Marquette areas of Merrick/Hamilton counties. Ping pong to golf ball size hail occurred in or near the following communities/locations: Fullerton, Amherst, Orleans, Harlan County Lake, Naponee and Deweese. In the Tri Cities, only Grand Island saw severe weather, as two rounds of quarter to half dollar size hail moved through, one mainly affecting the north side of town (including the airport) around 6 p.m. CDT, and another about an hour later that clipped more of the city. As for thunderstorm winds, the vast majority of gusts captured by area sensors were non-severe (generally 40-50 MPH), but there were two reports estimated around 60 MPH, one near Hampton and another at Hebron, where a few large trees were downed and a store front sustained minor damage. Given fairly progressive storm motions, rainfall totals in most affected areas were less than 1 inch during the afternoon/evening. However, combined with localized heavy rain that fell during a separate round of early morning/non-severe activity, portions of mainly eastern Clay County registered over 3 for the day (including NWS coop observer total of 3.33 six miles east-southeast of Clay Center). As a result, the later-day storms prompted some isolated flash flooding, as School Creek overtopped the paved spur road south of Saronville. ||This event was characterized by truly scattered, hit-or-miss convection, as afternoon heating and subtle convergence along/ahead of a weak cold front sagging southward into the region prompted several strong to severe storms, mainly in the form of multicells/multicell clusters, but also a few brief supercells. Nearly every county in the 24-county area observed at least a touch of thunderstorm activity. That being said, the majority of ground-truth reports concentrated in two primary areas: 1) parts of Hall/Hamilton/Merrick counties...2) a swath from eastern Furnas to far southwestern Franklin counties. A few of the first severe storms of the event flared up over Furnas/Buffalo counties between 430-530 p.m. CDT, and the final severe storm of the evening was centered over the Nuckolls County area before weakening around 9 p.m. CDT. Thereafter, a smattering of strong storms lingered within counties south of Interstate 80 through around 10:30 pm. CDT before all convection ended for the night. In total, 19 Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were issued within South Central Nebraska over the course of over four hours. Digging deeper into the meteorological setup, it's worth noting that this event exceeded forecast expectations, especially in terms of the number of severe storms. This was due in part to greater-than-expected convective instability, as afternoon surface dewpoints soared into the upper 60s-low 70 F, promoting significant mixed-layer CAPE of at least 3000-4000 J/kg. In tandem with deep layer wind shear around 35 knots, this CAPE/shear combo proved plenty sufficient for robust convection. In the mid-upper levels, a pronounced north-northwest flow regime resided over the Central Plains, within the interface between a stout western United States ridge and a broad eastern trough.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the derecho was the duration of severe winds, with many areas experiencing at least periodic, if not persistent, severe level (58+ mph) winds over a roughly 30 minute time frame. As the derecho moved eastward out of Iowa, it continued to expand, but weakened from its peak strength.

As a result, at least minor flooding of several creeks and rural roads occurred or continued within several local counties, including along the West Fork Big Blue River between Hastings and McCool Junction. Among a few of the more newsworthy flooding impacts, Grand Island not only saw widespread short-term street flooding, but the State Fairgrounds were swamped with several inches of standing water for a few hours, disrupting Day 4 of the Nebraska State Fair.

These severe winds of mainly 60-70 MPH concentrated within northern Furnas, southern Gosper, northwestern Harlan and southern Phelps counties, including an intense (albeit unofficial) gust of 86 MPH clocked by a personal weather station north-northwest of Oxford. While ground-truth damage reports were limited, they included: 1) a power pole blown onto Highway 6/34 in Arapahoe along with several large tree limbs down around town...2) various reports of mainly minor damage in/near Holdrege, including: damaged power poles, a large tree down at the cemetery, and part of an irrigation pivot blown onto a rural road a few miles west of town. As this storm of the day progressed into eastern Phelps County it weakened while transitioning to more of a multicell cluster mode. However, storm intensity occasionally flared up farther east, as evidenced by estimated 55-60 MPH winds in southeast Adams County. Lightning also made the news during the evening, as a bolt from a non-severe storm in Grand Island blew out a roughly 5-by-5 foot section from the roof of a retail store, sparking a small fire. Somewhat surprisingly, there was no verified severe-criteria hail during this event, with the largest reported stones only nickel size.||Timing-wise, the first severe storms of the day in close proximity to (but slightly west of) South Central Nebraska erupted along a well-defined cold front in west-central Nebraska during the mid-afternoon. A few hours later, the first strong storm to affect the local area entered western Dawson County between 6-7 p.m. CDT, followed a bit later by the main, outflow-dominant severe cell that rapidly intensified over Gosper/northern Furnas counties. As the night wore on a few larger-scale, predominantly sub-severe storm complexes traversed much of the 30-county area, with most places eventually rain-free by 4-5 a.m. CDT on the 9th. Meteorologically, this was a fairly strongly-forced event. In the mid-upper levels, west-southwesterly flow was present, slightly downstream from a seasonably-strong, large-scale trough traversing the Northern Rockies. At the surface, the aforementioned, northeast-southwest oriented cold front gradually made its way through South Central Nebraska during the evening and overnight hours. Ahead of this boundary, the mesoscale environment was clearly supportive of severe storms, with early-evening parameters featuring around 2000 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE and 30-40 knots of deep-layer wind shear. As a testament to the strength of the passing cold front, high temperatures across most of South Central Nebraska dropped from the mid-80s F on the 8th to only the upper-60s on the 9th. Estimated 55 to 60 mph wind gusts occurred. Winds were strong for about 5 to 7 minutes.", "ts_dict_index": [8163, 8164, 8165]} +{"event_id": 894476, "event_type": "Thunderstorm Wind", "state": "NEBRASKA", "cz_name": "THAYER", "begin_date_time": "2020-06-03 22:20:00", "end_date_time": "2020-06-03 22:20:00", "narrative": "This Wednesday evening featured the first somewhat-widespread severe thunderstorm event of 2020 within South Central Nebraska, with several reports of damaging winds and large hail focused primarily near and northeast of a line from Loup City-Grand Island-Hebron. Overall, damaging winds were the bigger issue, highlighted by a measured gust of 79 MPH at the York airport shortly before 10 p.m. CDT. As these winds tore into town, they took down several large tree branches (a few entire trees), causing fairly widespread power outages and even partially-crushing an unoccupied car. About an hour before reaching York, measured winds of 70 MPH struck the Chapman area, flipping over irrigation pivots and taking down a light pole at a convenience store. Later in the evening, shortly before storms completely exited the local area, estimated 70 MPH winds took down a giant tree limb in Alexandria (3 ft. diameter/50 ft. long). Although the majority of wind damage focused within eastern counties, severe-criteria gusts were ongoing even as storms first entered the local area earlier in the evening, including 64 MPH at Ord airport. As for hail, the majority of limited reports were quarter size or smaller, although a few stones up to golf ball size were noted in North Loup.||Breaking down event timing and evolution, the scattered to numerous storms that eventually infiltrated South Central Nebraska first developed as separate storm clusters during the mid-late afternoon, one over northwest Nebraska and another in the NE/KS/CO border area. Between 7-9 p.m. CDT, both of these clusters entered northern and western portions of the local area. The southern one, which had been occasionally severe over southwest Nebraska, lost some steam as it moved east, yielding only slightly sub-severe wind gust reports in Furnas County. Meanwhile, the northern storm complex clearly established itself as dominant, charging southeastward as damaging winds peaked in intensity between 8:30-11:30 p.m. CDT. Shortly before midnight, the back edge of the now linear mesoscale convective system (MCS) exited southeast out of Thayer County, ending all storm activity for the night. Turning to the meteorological setup, this was not a strongly-forced event, with the main feature in the mid-upper levels consisting of a low-amplitude shortwave trough tracking east-southeast across Nebraska out of western SD over the course of the afternoon-evening. Surface features across South Central Nebraska ahead of the storms were fairly nondescript, dominated by weak high pressure and southerly-to-easterly breezes only around 10 MPH or less. However, fairly steep low-mid level lapse rates were in place, with damaging wind potential likely enhanced by fairly large surface dewpoint depressions heading into the evening (on the order of 25-30 degrees F). Evening mesoscale analysis over South Central Nebraska revealed 1000-2000 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE and around 35-40 knots of deep-layer wind shear. Wind gusts were estimated to be near 70 MPH. Emergency management reported that a three foot diameter and 50 foot long tree limb and a 1.5 to 2 foot diameter tree limb were blown down and blocking Main Street in the community of Alexandria.", "ts_dict_index": [8169, 8170, 8171]} +{"event_id": 918962, "event_type": "Thunderstorm Wind", "state": "IOWA", "cz_name": "POLK", "begin_date_time": "2020-08-10 09:59:00", "end_date_time": "2020-08-10 09:59:00", "narrative": "Basic Summary: A cluster of storms in northeast Nebraska and southeast South Dakota developed into the destructive derecho that raced eastward across large portions of Iowa, northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin, northern Indiana, and southern Michigan during the morning and afternoon of August 10th. The strongest winds were experienced in central and east-central Iowa where 100+ mph winds were observed. Some of the strongest winds were in an area from roughly Marshalltown, IA eastward along the Highway 30 corridor to the Mississippi River, where estimated winds exceeded 120+ mph and approached 140 mph. A number of QLCS tornadoes were also experienced within the Highway 30 corridor. One of the most remarkable aspects of the derecho was the duration of severe winds, with many areas experiencing at least periodic, if not persistent, severe level (58+ mph) winds over a roughly 30 minute time frame. As the derecho moved eastward out of Iowa, it continued to expand, but weakened from its peak strength. Winds continued to exceed severe criteria (58+ mph) in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan and began to produce additional QLCS tornadoes across northern Illinois before fading out across northern Indiana and southern Michigan.||In the wake of the derecho, damage was substantial in many areas, rural and urban. Many agriculture fields, mainly corn, were flattened within the swaths of strongest winds. Initial estimates suggest at least 850,000 acres of partial or complete crop loss occurred from this event. Within urban and wooded areas extensive tree and structure damage was seen, including complete roof failure in a few instances. At its peak, total estimated customers without power exceeded 1.4 million across the affected states. In total, early estimates on losses (agriculture, infrastructure, private property) have exceeded $7.5 billion across the states affected. ||Environment: Broadly speaking, it was a ripe day for thunderstorms across the affected area with MUCAPE values often exceeding 3500-4000 J/kg by the mid morning hours concurrent with mid-upper level short wave support, and indications that any cold pool development would be strong (difference between cold pool and ambient air) and potentially long lived. For detailed environmental analysis, including soundings, please view the various local NWS office event review pages: NWS Des Moines, NWS Quad Cities, NWS Chicago, NWS Milwaukee, NWS Central Illinois, NWS Northern Indiana, or NWS Indianapolis.||Additional Details: Numerous injuries occurred during the derecho and in the aftermath during cleanup, including 4 direct and indirect deaths of which 3 occurred in Iowa (two in Poweshiek County and one in Linn County) and 1 in Indiana (Fort Wayne).||Disclaimer: The August 10, 2020 derecho resulted in widespread high-end damage across large portions of central and southern Iowa. Given the size and scope of the event and understanding that final damage and loss estimates (agriculture, infrastructure, and private property) will take months to complete, the NWS is not able to estimate the monetary impact at this time.

It featured the first-ever December derecho observed anywhere in the United States and the first Moderate Risk of severe thunderstorms issued by the NWS Storm Prediction Center in December for Iowa. Unofficially, it set the new single-day Iowa records for the most tornadoes and the most EF-2/F-2 or stronger tornadoes since 1950. Finally, it will break the all-time December record high temperature for Iowa. ||Tornadoes: There were 63 confirmed tornadoes that occurred in Iowa, 21 of which were rated EF-2. Sixty three is unofficially the most tornadoes in Iowa in a single day with the previous being 35 tornadoes on August 31, 2014. Further, 21 EF-2 tornadoes is unofficially the most EF-2/F-2 or stronger tornadoes in a single day with the previous being 16 tornadoes on June 7, 1984. Prior to this event, a total of 5 tornadoes had occurred in Iowa in December since 1950 with all of them in southeastern Iowa. | |Thunderstorm Wind: Numerous straight line wind gusts were also associated with these thunderstorms, some in excess of 80 mph. During the event, nearly the entire state of Iowa was under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning at some point. Audubon reported the highest gust in Iowa at 88 mph. This storm also met the criteria for a ���derecho'', which makes it the first derecho on record in the month of December anywhere in the United States. Finally, we had an unofficial gust of 108 mph recorded by a mesonet station near Sheffield, Iowa associated with one of the tornadic circulations. ||Environmental Wind: After the line of storms had passed, numerous strong, non-thunderstorm wind gusts over 70 mph occurred overnight. The top three non-thunderstorm wind gusts were 83 mph in Decatur City, 81 mph in Marshalltown, and 80 mph in Johnston. The Des Moines International Airport recorded a 74 mph non-thunderstorm wind gust, which is the highest non-thunderstorm wind gust at this location since 1970.| |Temperatures: In addition to the severe weather and strong non-thunderstorm winds, the temperatures were remarkable and record setting. Numerous record daily highs were broken by many degrees. In addition and preliminarily, the all-time December record high temperature for Iowa of 74 degrees that was set in Thurman, IA on December 6, 1939 was broken with four sites reaching 75 degrees (Oskaloosa, Muscatine, Iowa City, and Ottumwa).||For detailed environmental analysis, including soundings, please view the various local NWS office event review pages: NWS Des Moines, NWS Sioux Falls, NWS Omaha, NWS Wichita, NWS Pueblo, NWS Twin Cities, NWS Quad Cities, NWS Hastings, NWS La Crosse, NWS Green Bay, or NWS Milwaukee.

Things started out with a smattering of large hail reports before transitioning to mainly a heavy rain and relatively minor flash flooding event, particularly within western Nuckolls and far eastern Webster counties where rain totals of 2-4 inches were common, and highlighted by 4.72 per an unofficial mesonet west-southwest of Nelson. As for hail, the largest reported stones up to golf ball size occurred in McCool Junction and southeast of Sutton. Severe-criteria wind reports were quite limited, but a mesonet southwest of Nelson gusted to 64 MPH and a completely separate batch of storms farther west yielded a 63 MPH mesonet gust near Cambridge. The most impactful flooding report involved a multiple-hour closure of Highway 136 in far western Nuckolls County due to water over the road. In addition, runoff from heavy rain promoted minor flooding along the Republican River in southern Nuckolls County, with the automated gauge near Hardy cresting at 11.66 ft. during the very early morning hours of Sunday the 16th (flood stage 11.0 ft.).||Breaking down event evolution, severe storms initially got underway between 8-10 p.m. CDT as a cluster of semi-discrete cells erupted within Clay, Fillmore and southern York counties, yielding the majority of the evening's hail reports. Then between 10 p.m. and midnight CDT and slightly to the southwest of the initial storms, additional severe convection and flooding rains blossomed over Nuckolls and eastern Webster counties. After midnight, the most intense storms gradually weakened and/or slipped south of the state line into Kansas, although weaker activity lingered a few more hours before ending altogether. Completely separate from (and several counties to the west of) the severe convection in southeastern counties, a small cluster of storms entered Furnas County from the west shortly before midnight CDT, generating the aforementioned severe gust near Cambridge before quickly weakening. Turning to the meteorological setup, a broad quasi-zonal flow regime was present in the mid-upper levels, featuring passing low-amplitude disturbances. At the surface, the initial evening development seemed to concentrate along a subtle, west-east front, in a mesoscale environment featuring a relatively potent combination of 2000-3000 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE and around 30 knots of deep-layer wind shear. In addition, convection was aided by warm air/moisture advection along the northwestern fringes of a nocturnal low level jet primarily aligned from southern Kansas into Missouri.

Although available mesonets within the majority of affected counties clocked wind speeds no higher than 57 MPH, there was clearly a narrow swath of notably-higher winds that caused minor to moderate damage, particularly along the apex of a bowing segment that peaked in intensity within southern Franklin and Webster counties between 10-11 p.m. CDT. The most noteworthy damage reports originated from Franklin itself, where multiple trees were downed and some minor structural damage occurred. In the aftermath of the storm, the front page headline of the Franklin County Chronicle declared Chain Saws Hum on Father's Day. Just downstream in north central Webster County, a roof was ripped off of a motor home. After peaking in intensity within those counties, winds gradually weakened as the bowing segment pushed farther east-northeast, with the final, marginally-severe report of the night consisting of estimated 50-60 MPH winds in east-central Clay County. ||This MCS first organized and intensified to severe levels within northeast Colorado between 5-7 p.m. CDT, with its northern edge invading South Central Nebraska into Furnas/Harlan counties between 9-10 p.m. CDT and eventually departing the local area out of Fillmore/Thayer counties between 12-1 a.m. CDT. Turning to the meteorology behind this event, this was a fairly classic setup for High Plains MCS development. In the mid-upper levels, broad west-northwesterly flow prevailed over the region, with forcing aided by a low amplitude shortwave trough. At the surface, South Central Nebraska resided to the north of a west-east oriented quasi-stationary front draped through central Kansas. This placed the local area in an easterly wind regime and within the northern reaches of a low-level moisture/instability gradient. During the early evening, a rather unstable airmass occupied far southern local counties ahead of the approaching convective complex, with dewpoints well into the 60s (F) promoting mixed-layer CAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg. Although effective bulk shear was not overly-strong (only around 35 knots), the combination of a surging cold pool and the development of a 30-40 knot southerly low level jet aided MCS intensification.

While the vast majority of this activity was sub-severe, several instances of gusty winds peaking mainly 50-56 MPH transpired under the primary convective cluster as it tracked east-northeast within a 20-30 mile wide corridor roughly centered along a line from Beaver City-Minden-Hastings/Grand Island-Central City. The one known exception to the prevailing sub-severe nature of these winds occurred at Hastings Municipal Airport, where the ASOS clocked a rogue gust of 63 MPH (there were no damage reports). Other slightly sub-severe gusts (all from unofficial mesonet sensors) included: 56 MPH at Hildreth and near Oxford, 55 MPH near Stamford, Odessa and Heartwell; and 54 MPH seven miles west of Macon. ||This was a classic early-spring setup for high-based convection with gusty winds. The 4th was the first truly unseasonably-warm day of the season as temperatures soared into the upper-80s to around 90 degrees (F). Meanwhile, low-level moisture was scant, with late afternoon/early evening dewpoints mainly mid-30s to low 40s F (yielding significant dewpoint depressions of 40-50 F) . In the mid-upper levels, broad and fairly weak zonal flow resided over the Central Plains. However, as a fairly subtle disturbance emerged off the High Plains late in the day, weak convergence near a surface low along western portions of the Nebraska/Kansas border helped ignite convection near the extreme southwestern fringes of South Central Nebraska as early as 3-4 p.m. CDT. Despite the notable dewpoint depressions, very steep low-mid level lapse rates in the hot, well-mixed environment yielded mixed-layer CAPE up to around 500 J/kg, but in the presence of only modest deep-layer wind shear around 25-30 knots. Despite the seemingly-unimpressive instability/shear environment, the very high-based convection (LCL heights around 3 km) had as much as 1000-1500 J/kg downdraft CAPE at its disposal...clearly sufficient for a number of strong (isolated marginally-severe) gusts. Timing-wise, the main cluster tracked through the Furnas/Gosper/Harlan counties area between 4-6 p.m. CDT, reached the Highway 281 corridor between Grand Island and Hastings by around 7 p.m. CDT, and finally started losing its punch in the eastern Merrick/Polk counties area between 8-9 p.m. CDT.

Thunderstorms developed between 3pm and 4pm CDT from southwest to northeast, generally along a line from Rooks County in north central Kansas, to Thayer County in south central Nebraska. Once thunderstorms developed, heavy rain quickly became the main concern, though a few non-severe wind gusts around 50 to 55 mph were reported across north central Kansas early on in the event, as well as an estimated wind gust near 60mph in Thayer County. The heavy rain threat was driven by several factors, including: weak mid and upper level winds which resulted in slow storm motion, training of thunderstorms over the same areas for several hours, and unusually high atmospheric moisture levels. In fact, precipitable water values were near 2��� on this evening, which is near 3 standard deviations above normal and in the upper 90th percentile of climatology. Heavy rain rates of 1-2��� per hour, or higher, were common under the strongest thunderstorm cores, especially between the hours of 4pm and 9pm CDT. Thunderstorms gradually decreased in intensity during the late evening as the persistent convection over the same areas and loss of daytime heating led to decreasing instability. The majority of the lingering light rain ended by midnight.||For south central Nebraska, the heavy rain was limited to primarily eastern Nuckolls County and all of Thayer County.

Turning to the completely separate northern area of convection, a more isolated storm cluster blossomed over Buffalo County around 7 p.m. CDT. Over the next few hours, this activity drifted slowly northeast and occasionally dropped severe-criteria hail, including quarter size stones in or near Ravenna and Dannebrog, and up to ping pong ball size in St. Paul. This convection departed eastward out of Nance County (and thus out of the local area) around 11 p.m. CDT. ||Tracing the southern storm complex back to its roots, it actually originated in east-central Colorado during the early-to-mid afternoon before peaking in intensity over north central Kansas during the early evening. In the mid-upper levels, the main instigator for both areas of storms was a low-amplitude shortwave trough lifting east-northeast along the Nebraska-Kansas border. At the surface, convection was largely tied to a slow-moving cold front traversing the Central Plains from west-to-east. Evening mesoscale convective parameters in South Central Nebraska featured around 1000 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE and 30-40 knots of effective deep-layer wind shear.

This setup a strong, meridional flow ahead of this feature. The 925 hPa low level jet of 44 kts was around 4 Standard Deviations above normal, and record for the date per the 12Z/14 TAE sounding. A pre-frontal trough pooled a narrow axis of moisture out ahead of the cold front, and served as a forcing mechanism for convection. Given Bulk Shear (0-6 km) around 60 knots and Surface Based CAPE around 1.2k J/kg, this was more than sufficient for organized, severe thunderstorms. The air mass just ahead of the pre-frontal trough was much drier and capped, initially limiting the development of more discrete cells ahead of the line. In fact, the 12Z/14 TAE sounding sampled a cap of over 5C just below 700 hPa! However as solar insolation and large scale ascent increased, this cap was broken around 15Z, and the QLCS intensified. The strong wind field and steep low-level lapse rates created an environment favorable for damaging wind gusts, particularly northwest of a line from the Apalachicola River to Tifton GA, where steeper mid-level lapse rates overlayed, leading to greater buoyancy. The tornado threat along the QLCS was dependent on storms becoming more favorably aligned with the Shear Vector (0-3 km), with otherwise sufficient CAPE (0-3 km) and low LCLs. Ahead of the QLCS, the low-level wind field was sheared in the 0-1 km layer, as evidenced on VAD Wind Profiles. As a result, the tornado threat increased with the more discrete cells after the cap broke. The aforementioned strong wind field and steep low-level lapse rates, combined with the isallobaric component of wind, lead to wind gusts around 40 mph well ahead of the QLCS. A total of 27 warnings were issued, including 15 SVRs, 6 TORs, and 6 SMWs.

Some of the damage included a plane being destroyed at McAllen-Miller International Airport; numerous poorly anchored roofs lifted off buildings; dozens, if not hundreds, of broken power poles; and dozens of damaged or destroyed billboards. ||The storms then went on to produce more damage across southeastern Hidalgo County and into eastern Cameron County early in the morning of April 29th. Another official NWS Storm Survey concluded winds of 70 to 80 mph were experienced here, which downed several trees and power poles, a few metal roofs lifted off and caused numerous power outages.||Total damage was unknown due to the large number of locations impacted. A state disaster declaration was given for Hidalgo County following the event, and dollar damages and recovery costs were expected to be more than $50 million.

After morning showers and thunderstorms moved across the area due to a warm front, the upper level flow regime brought an elevated mixed layer (EML) into the region during the afternoon, capping convection during the afternoon and early evening hours. ||Convective clusters over Michigan during the evening congealed into a mesoscale convective system (MCS) and raced across Lake Erie, arriving in the NWS Pittsburgh forecast area shortly before midnight. Steep mid-level lapse rates thanks to the EML allow for a few large hail reports initially. However, the main impact of the system would be from wind. Surface temperatures surged into the low to mid 60s ahead of the line on gusty southwest winds, resulting in surface CAPE of 1000 J/kg and a significant curving/lengthening of the hodograph. With the boundary layer no longer decoupled, strong ambient mid-level flow combined with highly efficient evaporational cooling in the convective downdrafts allowed substantial downdraft CAPE to be realized with surface wind gusts exceeding 70 mph observed and evident over a wide area given the volume of wind damage reports. Embedded vortices in the quasi-linear convective system also led to five tornadoes in the EF0/EF1 range during this event across the region.||Numerous instances of tree and structural damage were observed, including damage to planes and hangars at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport. Strong winds also tore off part of the roof of St. Mary of Czestochowa Church on Kenneth Avenue in New Kensington.

The greatest flash flood impact occurred along portions of western Maricopa County in the area from Buckeye to Tonopah, The greatest damaging wind impact occurred in the Tonopah area, where two rounds of severe thunderstorms, one hour apart, impacted causing widespread power outages due to downed power poles, destroyed two mobile homes, damaged dairy farm structures, and resulted livestock losses. Severe hail was also reported with a storm that moved into the Mesa to Scottsdale area during the overnight period. ||As the area of low pressure moved eastward on the 16th, lingering moisture resulted in the development of more showers and thunderstorms, mainly concentrated across the higher terrain areas east of Phoenix.

These storms eventually developed in a quasi-linear convection system (QLCS), as they became severe and accelerated east across much of East Texas during the evening through the early morning hours of the 13th. Instances of large hail and damaging winds were reported from these storms, before they moved into North Louisiana during the early morning hours. The southern extent of this complex of storms eventually slowed as they became more parallel (west to east) to the extensive area of damaging winds, resulting in these storms developing/moving repeatedly over the same areas of Nacogdoches and Shelby Counties. Thus, instances of flash flooding were reported across these areas, as widespread rainfall amounts of three to in excess of five inches were observed.

Storms initially developed over the high terrain of northern and eastern Arizona as well as near the Table Top mesa area south of Phoenix. High DCAPE promoted strong thunderstorm downbursts. The downbursts generated outflows that progressed into the greater Phoenix metro area and led to the development of additional scattered thunderstorm. The thunderstorms in the metro area produced damaging winds that led to numerous downed trees, downed power poles, and other property damage. The storms were also nearly stationary, under weak steering flow, and produced very heavy rainfall with rain rates around 1.5-2.0 inches per hour and briefly higher in the strongest storms. This led to considerable flash flooding around Phoenix with several road closure and significant flow in major washes. Even after the strongest storms in Phoenix subsided in the late evening of the 22nd, areas of moderate to heavy rain continued from northeast to southwest through the night and through mid-afternoon on the 23rd. The continued rain through the 23rd was aided by a strengthening diffluent flow regime between the monsoon high to the north and a retrograding upper low moving west through New Mexico. Additional significant flash flooding was observed on the 23rd, mostly in the foothills north of the Phoenix metro, with many road closures, flowing washes and creeks, and some water rescues. A microburst caused significant damage in Downtown Scottsdale with numerous toppled or snapped trees. Amongst the received reports, half a dozen trees were reportedly uprooted around Fashion Square outlet mall. At least a couple trees fell on vehicles. Two palm trees in front of the Galleria Corporate Center were snapped in half. A carport at the San Marin apartment complex was blown over and caused damage to the several cars parked underneath.

Moisture levels were also above normal which, in combination with the strong updrafts, supported high rainfall rates (1.5-2 inches per hour average). There were a few multicell clusters that moved through Southern Arizona. One through the southeast parts of the greater Phoenix area, another that developed in Yavapai County before descending southwest along US-60 in Maricopa and La Paz Counties, and a third that developed off the Kofa Wilderness terrain south of Quartzsite before being caught by the cluster descending along US-60.

With the center of the low tracking west of the region and an influx of marine air courtesy of the low level jet, various precipitation types occurred during this event. An Arctic air mass had been in place in advance of this system, but due to the aforementioned factors, that air mass rapidly modified on the 16th. As precipitation arrived, temperatures remained cold enough for it to begin as snow in most areas away from the coast. However, a rapid transition from snow to mixed precipitation to rain occurred in most areas within hours. Frozen precipitation held on for longer across the interior, where some higher snowfall amounts occurred. The storm departed the region by early on January 17.

A cold front associated with a strong winter storm pushed east and across the western portion of the greater Phoenix area during early afternoon hours on January 25th. A line of strong to severe thunderstorms associated with the front generated some gusty and damaging outflow winds. In Litchfield Park, multiple public social media photos and videos showed substantial tree damage at the Wigwam Golf Course. Numerous large tree branches were snapped and trees were uprooted due to outflow winds estimated around 70 mph. A golf event was taking place at the time, but fortunately there were no reports of injuries. Just across the street to the west of the golf course, an NWS COOP observer reported their 50 year old Aleppo pine tree was blown down by the strong winds and the tree damaged a corner of the observer's house. They reported an 8 inch diameter tree and a 30 foot long block wall were also knocked down. A social media post shared by local media showed an awning with metal supports was destroyed at a playground next to the same COOP observer.

Additionally, backing surface winds also promoted increasing low-level shear as well as deep-layer shear with a 50-60 knot low-level jet surging east ahead of the trough and advancing cold front. This environment was supportive of several supercells that developed by late afternoon into the early evening hours, producing several tornadoes in addition to large hail and damaging wind gusts. As the cold front surged east of I-35 by early in the evening, the storm mode eventually became more linear with an increasing threat of more widespread damaging winds along the complex of storms while the threats of large hail and isolated tornadoes continued through the end of the event.

As temperatures rose into the 90s with dew points in the upper 60s and low 70s, strong instability built over the region. A pre-frontal trough and a fast moving upper level disturbance provided some lift, which helped convection develop by mid afternoon. Convection was initially concentrated over northern Pennsylvania and New York, near the better forcing, but propagated southeastward with time. Shear was weak to moderate but sufficient to allow some storm organization into multi-cellular and linear segments. A number of storms became severe, producing damaging winds and some hail. As storms moved southeast, outflow boundaries moving even further south helped ignite additional convection, some severe, which continued into the early overnight hours. The early overnight convection was also noted to be especially prolific with regard to lightning. A tree brought down a transformer and wires.

As it did so, it pushed a warm front through the mid-Atlantic during the late morning and early afternoon hours, causing unseasonably warm conditions to develop. Strong mid and upper level dynamics associated with this low pressure caused linear convection to develop ahead of its associated cold front early in the day. While instability ahead of the front was very limited, the strong frontal forcing combined with extreme wind fields allowed two primary lines of convection to form and produce severe convective wind gusts as they moved east. One of these lines tracked into the eastern mid-Atlantic and towards the coast during the evening hours. It produced widespread wind gusts of around 60 mph, with a number of reports of downed trees and power lines and localized property damage across the region. A tree was downed in wires near Grant Rd.

High instability (MUCAPE 2,000-2,500 J/kg) helped thunderstorms maintain intensity as they travelled toward the lower deserts. Given the greater steering flow, faster thunderstorm motion helped abate flash flood impacts.

In fact, the nearly continuous swath of damaging winds that stretched from south central NE/north central KS northeastward into southeast MN/western WI was officially declared a serial derecho...the first December derecho on record in the United States. Including nine confirmed tornadoes in South Central Nebraska (and 19 others that occurred in eastern NE), there were 28 confirmed tornadoes within the state...a remarkable fact considering that prior to this day only five Nebraska tornadoes had occurred in December since 1950! Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, despite countless instances of damage primarily to irrigation pivots, outbuildings, power lines/poles and trees. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing for the local area, first of all, even before convection flared up it was already an unusual/noteworthy December weather day given unseasonable warmth/humidity being pumped into the area on strong south winds. By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December. In the mid-upper levels, not only was the parent, negatively-tilted shortwave trough notably intense as it slammed across the central United States, but it was also notably fast. At daybreak, its vorticity maximum was just passing by the Four Corners, but by mid-day it had already reached the NE/CO/KS border area and by sunset had advanced into far northeast NE. At the 500-millibar level, a stout jet streak of 100+ knots nosed into South Central NE from the south-southwest during the afternoon, while lower in the column a potent southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) ramped up to 40-60 knots. At the surface, a vigorous low pressure center sliced across the heart of Nebraska from southwest-to-northeast during the afternoon, deepening to around 984 millibars along the way and driving a sharp dryline/cold frontal combo eastward through the area. As mentioned, surface dewpoints climbed into the 50s F across much of the area prior to convective initiation, fostering a corridor of mixed-layer CAPE up to 500-1000 J/kg. Although somewhat modest instability values by warmer-season standards, in this case it was more than enough to promote robust severe convection in the presence of extreme wind fields, with embedded QLCS tornadoes no surprise given 0-1 kilometer bulk shear around 40 knots and effective storm-relative helicity (SRH) around 200-300 m2/s2. In the wake of the squall line, the ensuing non-convective wind event corresponded to a zone of deep subsidence (likely associated with a sting jet) and a pronounced surface pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low, with a 16-millibar gradient noted across South Central NE at 6 p.m. (ranging from 988 mb at Columbus to 1004 mb at McCook).||Closing with some comments about official NWS forecasts leading up to this historic event, there was excellent awareness several days in advance regarding the likelihood of powerful non-convective winds both ahead of (southerlies) and behind (westerlies) the intense surface low pressure system. An area-wide High Wind Watch was issued early on the 13th (48-60 hours in advance) and was subsequently upgraded to a High Wind Warning early on the 14th. However, what was not as well anticipated (both at the local and national forecast level) was how great of a convective/tornado threat South Central NE would face, as the fast-tracking squall line ended up forming slightly earlier and several counties farther west than most model data suggested (especially 12+ hours out). As a result, there was a noticeable ramp-up of convective threat categories within South Central NE on Dec. 15th SPC Day 1 Outlooks, progressing from the initial 06Z outlook that barely brushed the far eastern fringes of the area with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5), to the 1630Z outlook that correctly shifted Slight (level 2) and Enhanced (level 3) categories westward into several counties along/east of Highway 281. This tornado touched down in northeast Hamilton County near Kronborg and moved northeast into southwest Polk County. This tornado was one of the more classic-looking tornadoes of the day, based on photos reviewed. The estimated maximum wind speed of 100 MPH was based primarily upon snapped power poles, but a hog facility was also heavily damages about 2 miles into the path of this tornado. The tornado crossed Highway 66 about two miles west of Polk.

In addition to dropping three fairly brief EF-0 tornadoes in southeastern Hamilton and northeastern Clay counties, its main calling card was large hail, with several reports of golf ball to slightly larger than baseball size stones in Clay/Nuckolls counties, and smaller hail to around quarter size as far north as Osceola. Interestingly, damaging winds were not a major player, with no ground-truth gusts in excess of 50 MPH. Focusing on specific storm reports, and starting with the three EF-0 tornadoes, they all occurred between 5-6 p.m. CDT, touching down briefly along a roughly 15-mile long corridor from near Interstate 80 a few miles south of Hampton, down to the Saronville area. Per storm surveys, the first two tornadoes were each on the ground for roughly 2 miles. While the majority of minor damage was confined to crops and trees, a lean-to shed was destroyed and a pivot overturned. As for the hail, the largest reported was 3 diameter between Clay Center and Harvard, but towns including Sutton and Nelson endured stones to at least tennis ball size. Flooding was not much of an issue, as the storm was progressive enough to keep rainfall amounts largely under one inch. ||Breaking down the meteorological background and event timing, this was actually a fairly conditional severe weather setup for South Central Nebraska, with various pros and cons for/against robust activity. In the mid-upper levels, the local area resided a fair distance south of a vigorous shortwave trough swinging across the Dakotas towards northern MN, resulting in fairly limited forcing aloft. Also working against convection (especially widespread severe) was a plume of warm mid level temperatures, with 700 millibar values of 12-14C providing a healthy cap. On the other hand, low-level forcing was seasonably-strong, as a well-defined cold front slid southeastward into the area during the afternoon. Ahead of this boundary, a significantly-unstable airmass awaited, featuring temperatures in the upper 80s-low 90s F/dewpoints upper 60s-mid 70s F, yielding formidable mixed-layer CAPE around 4000 J/kg. This extreme instability, in the presence of sufficient deep-layer wind shear around 35 knots, clearly fostered a mesoscale environment capable of stout convection. As for what actually transpired, the main show was preceded by a broken line of non-severe, likely elevated storms that passed primarily through counties south of Interstate 80 and east of Highway 281 between 12:30-3:30 p.m. CDT. About the time this innocuous early afternoon activity was departing the local area to the southeast, a broken line of true, surface-based storms got going along the front in northeast Nebraska, with the southwestern-most cell building down into the far northeast corner of South Central Nebraska (eastern Nance/northeast Merrick/northern Polk counties) between 3-4 p.m. CDT. Within an hour thereafter, this tail end Charlie storm rapidly grew into a full-blown supercell over Polk/northern York counties, producing its first marginally-severe hail reports. During the following two hours (5-7 p.m. CDT), the storm anchored itself firmly to the surface front, with new updraft generation along its western edge promoting more of a southwestward propagation and causing it to grow larger in both intensity/size, becoming more of a supercell cluster. It was during this time that the brief tornadoes occurred along the storm's far western flank, likely driven by pronounced low-level vorticity stretching along the surface front. While the sporadic tornado touchdowns were brief, the storm continued to be a prolific hail-producer as it gradually exited the local area out of Nuckolls County into northern Kansas between 7-8 p.m. CDT, ending all South Central Nebraska convection for the night. Minor crop and tree damage occurred. Debris was found in nearby powerlines.

In fact, the nearly continuous swath of damaging winds that stretched from south central NE/north central KS northeastward into southeast MN/western WI was officially declared a serial derecho...the first December derecho on record in the United States. Including nine confirmed tornadoes in South Central Nebraska (and 19 others that occurred in eastern NE), there were 28 confirmed tornadoes within the state...a remarkable fact considering that prior to this day only five Nebraska tornadoes had occurred in December since 1950! Focusing exclusively on the local South Central NE area going forward, the nine tornadoes consisted of five rated EF-1 and four rated EF-0. There were also dozens of measured reports of damaging winds in the 60-80+ MPH range (both thunderstorm/non-thunderstorm), including a peak thunderstorm gust of 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island and a peak non-thunderstorm gust of 77 MPH by an unofficial mesonet in southwestern Clay County. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, despite countless instances of damage primarily to irrigation pivots, outbuildings, power lines/poles and trees. ||Breaking down event evolution/timing for the local area, first of all, even before convection flared up it was already an unusual/noteworthy December weather day given unseasonable warmth/humidity being pumped into the area on strong south winds. By late morning-early afternoon, southerly gusts were commonly 35-50 MPH as temperatures soared into the mid-60s to low-70s F (setting new Dec. 15th records in Grand Island/Hastings), accompanied by dewpoints surging at least briefly into the 50s F (mainly near/east of Highway 281). This set the stage for severe convection/tornadoes during the early-mid afternoon, as the squall line that eventually impacted all but a few far western local counties raced through South Central NE at an incredible average forward motion of 65-75 MPH. The squall line, which was still in its infant stages as it entered Harlan County out of Kansas shortly before 1 p.m., rapidly intensified/expanded in scope while reaching the Highway 281 corridor by 2 p.m., and then in the blink of an eye had all-but-exited the extreme eastern fringes of the local area (Highway 81 counties) by 3 p.m....wrapping up a brief-but-wild two hours of weather. As for the nine confirmed South Central NE tornadoes, they all occurred between 1:27-2:43 p.m. and had at-times-intermittent path lengths between 7-15 miles. The tornadoes concentrated within counties mainly situated between the Highway 92 and Highway 6 corridors, touching down as far west as eastern Kearney/Franklin counties and as far east-northeast as Hamilton/Polk counties. The circulations were firmly embedded within the aforementioned squall line, making these quasi linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes with often-intermittent damage paths. As is typical of such tornadoes, there was little in the way of clear cut photographic/video evidence, with the main exception consisting of a more classic looking photo of an EF-1 near Marquette. Although specific details regarding each of the nine tornadoes can be found in their respective event narratives, the vast majority of damage occurred to irrigation pivots, power poles/lines and a handful of outbuildings/grain bins, including a few fairly large metal outbuildings that were partially or completely demolished within only a few miles of communities such as Hastings, Marquette and Polk. Fortunately, no homes suffered major damage, although a few sustained relatively minor roof/siding issues. And although there were no reported injuries, one family north of Hastings had a fairly close call as their sport utility vehicle had several windows blown out of it only about one minute after they arrived home and sought shelter. Although straight-line thunderstorm winds along the surging line took a publicity backseat to the tornadoes, there were dozens of reported measured/estimated gusts of at least 60-70 MPH, and a handful of measured gusts as high as 75-85 MPH, highlighted by 85 MPH at Central Nebraska Regional Airport (official) and unofficial mesonet gusts of 84 MPH near Shickley, 83 MPH near Davenport and 81 MPH near Oxford. As just a sampling of damage attributed to convective winds: a blown-over semi truck on Highway 6 near Hastings; an overturned pickup truck and trailer along I-80 near Grand Island; significant roof and siding damage to a brick building in downtown Giltner; a metal outbuilding largely destroyed near Fullerton; a carport lofted into power lines in Bruning. Lastly in the convective department, hail was a minimal issue for the vast majority of South Central Nebraska. However, stones up to golf ball size significantly damaged a home near Marquette, while slightly smaller, wind-driven hail up to quarter size was reported in the Grand Island and Hastings areas, including a report of considerable damage to siding, fences and shingles in the Lake Hastings area.||Turning to non-convective severe winds, for the majority of South Central Nebraska they peaked in intensity a few hours after the passage of the squall line (and also impacted those few far western counties that were spared by convection), ramping up initially from the southwest and eventually west-northwest behind a surging composite cold front/dryline. Generally speaking, roughly the southwestern half of the local area observed its strongest non-convective winds between 2-7 p.m., while the northeastern half of the area peaked more so 4-9 p.m. However, the entire area endured at least a few hours of sustained speeds commonly 30-45 MPH and sporadic gusts of 50-70 MPH, including official peak gusts of 73 MPH at Hastings and Ord airports, and unofficial peak mesonet gusts of 77 MPH near Glenvil, 76 MPH near Davenport and 75 MPH near Norman. Although these non-convective winds undoubtedly caused considerable minor damage and/or exacerbated damage already done by earlier convective winds, specific reports were actually quite limited. However, one unique highlight of these southwesterly-turning-westerly winds is that they shrouded much of the local area a under an eerie pall for a few hours during the mid-late afternoon...a combination of blowing dust (emanating off the western High Plains) and also smoke (from large wildfires in northern KS) that reduced visibility to under a mile in some spots. Fortunately, no wildfires were sparked within South Central NE itself, despite favorable conditions for large fire growth behind the dryline (especially in southwestern counties). The final severe-criteria gust of the evening (59 MPH) occurred in Nance County shortly after 7 p.m., and gusts eased down to only 30-40 MPH within most of South Central NE by 10 p.m.||The last weather element of this multi-faceted event (and ironically of least-overall impact for December) was snow, as far western/northwest portions of the local area observed roughly a one-hour period of wind-whipped snow between 3:30-5:30 p.m. as a weakening deformation zone on the backside of the system clipped parts of mainly Dawson, Sherman, Valley and far western Buffalo counties. Although total accumulations were mainly at-or-below one-half inch and there were no reports of significant travel impacts, the fact that this snow band prompted brief, greatly-reduced visibility reductions along Interstate 80 prompted the first-ever Snow Squall Warning issuance within South Central NE.||Examining the meteorology behind this event, this would have been considered a powerhouse setup for severe convection/high winds during the more typical spring season usually associated with this type of system, let alone in mid-December. In the mid-upper levels, not only was the parent, negatively-tilted shortwave trough notably intense as it slammed across the central United States, but it was also notably fast. At daybreak, its vorticity maximum was just passing by the Four Corners, but by mid-day it had already reached the NE/CO/KS border area and by sunset had advanced into far northeast NE. At the 500-millibar level, a stout jet streak of 100+ knots nosed into South Central NE from the south-southwest during the afternoon, while lower in the column a potent southerly low level jet (evident at 850 millibars) ramped up to 40-60 knots. At the surface, a vigorous low pressure center sliced across the heart of Nebraska from southwest-to-northeast during the afternoon, deepening to around 984 millibars along the way and driving a sharp dryline/cold frontal combo eastward through the area. As mentioned, surface dewpoints climbed into the 50s F across much of the area prior to convective initiation, fostering a corridor of mixed-layer CAPE up to 500-1000 J/kg. Although somewhat modest instability values by warmer-season standards, in this case it was more than enough to promote robust severe convection in the presence of extreme wind fields, with embedded QLCS tornadoes no surprise given 0-1 kilometer bulk shear around 40 knots and effective storm-relative helicity (SRH) around 200-300 m2/s2. In the wake of the squall line, the ensuing non-convective wind event corresponded to a zone of deep subsidence (likely associated with a sting jet) and a pronounced surface pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low, with a 16-millibar gradient noted across South Central NE at 6 p.m. (ranging from 988 mb at Columbus to 1004 mb at McCook).||Closing with some comments about official NWS forecasts leading up to this historic event, there was excellent awareness several days in advance regarding the likelihood of powerful non-convective winds both ahead of (southerlies) and behind (westerlies) the intense surface low pressure system. An area-wide High Wind Watch was issued early on the 13th (48-60 hours in advance) and was subsequently upgraded to a High Wind Warning early on the 14th. However, what was not as well anticipated (both at the local and national forecast level) was how great of a convective/tornado threat South Central NE would face, as the fast-tracking squall line ended up forming slightly earlier and several counties farther west than most model data suggested (especially 12+ hours out). As a result, there was a noticeable ramp-up of convective threat categories within South Central NE on Dec. 15th SPC Day 1 Outlooks, progressing from the initial 06Z outlook that barely brushed the far eastern fringes of the area with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5), to the 1630Z outlook that correctly shifted Slight (level 2) and Enhanced (level 3) categories westward into several counties along/east of Highway 281. This Hamilton County tornado touched down four miles southeast of Giltner and traveled northeast into Aurora. The estimated maximum wind gust of 100 MPH was based mainly upon snapped power poles. There were numerous irrigation pivots damaged along and near this path. The tornado crossed Interstate 80 approximately two miles west of the Aurora interchange. The tornado entered the southwest side of Aurora near the fairgrounds. Metal cladding was peeled from storage facilities nearby and there were several spots of tree damage. The tornado lifted around 12th and E Streets just south of the railroad tracks.", "ts_dict_index": [14499, 14500, 14501]} +{"event_id": 913264, "event_type": "Tornado", "state": "NEBRASKA", "cz_name": "HAMILTON", "begin_date_time": "2020-08-14 16:34:00", "end_date_time": "2020-08-14 16:36:00", "narrative": "Although it only impacted a small percentage of the 24-county South Central Nebraska area, the large and intense supercell storm that marched south-southwestward for over 90 miles through several eastern counties on this Friday afternoon/early evening was likely the local area's most noteworthy individual storm of the 2020 convective season. In addition to dropping three fairly brief EF-0 tornadoes in southeastern Hamilton and northeastern Clay counties, its main calling card was large hail, with several reports of golf ball to slightly larger than baseball size stones in Clay/Nuckolls counties, and smaller hail to around quarter size as far north as Osceola. Interestingly, damaging winds were not a major player, with no ground-truth gusts in excess of 50 MPH. Focusing on specific storm reports, and starting with the three EF-0 tornadoes, they all occurred between 5-6 p.m. CDT, touching down briefly along a roughly 15-mile long corridor from near Interstate 80 a few miles south of Hampton, down to the Saronville area. Per storm surveys, the first two tornadoes were each on the ground for roughly 2 miles. While the majority of minor damage was confined to crops and trees, a lean-to shed was destroyed and a pivot overturned. As for the hail, the largest reported was 3 diameter between Clay Center and Harvard, but towns including Sutton and Nelson endured stones to at least tennis ball size. Flooding was not much of an issue, as the storm was progressive enough to keep rainfall amounts largely under one inch. ||Breaking down the meteorological background and event timing, this was actually a fairly conditional severe weather setup for South Central Nebraska, with various pros and cons for/against robust activity. In the mid-upper levels, the local area resided a fair distance south of a vigorous shortwave trough swinging across the Dakotas towards northern MN, resulting in fairly limited forcing aloft. Also working against convection (especially widespread severe) was a plume of warm mid level temperatures, with 700 millibar values of 12-14C providing a healthy cap. On the other hand, low-level forcing was seasonably-strong, as a well-defined cold front slid southeastward into the area during the afternoon. Ahead of this boundary, a significantly-unstable airmass awaited, featuring temperatures in the upper 80s-low 90s F/dewpoints upper 60s-mid 70s F, yielding formidable mixed-layer CAPE around 4000 J/kg. This extreme instability, in the presence of sufficient deep-layer wind shear around 35 knots, clearly fostered a mesoscale environment capable of stout convection. As for what actually transpired, the main show was preceded by a broken line of non-severe, likely elevated storms that passed primarily through counties south of Interstate 80 and east of Highway 281 between 12:30-3:30 p.m. CDT. About the time this innocuous early afternoon activity was departing the local area to the southeast, a broken line of true, surface-based storms got going along the front in northeast Nebraska, with the southwestern-most cell building down into the far northeast corner of South Central Nebraska (eastern Nance/northeast Merrick/northern Polk counties) between 3-4 p.m. CDT. Within an hour thereafter, this tail end Charlie storm rapidly grew into a full-blown supercell over Polk/northern York counties, producing its first marginally-severe hail reports. During the following two hours (5-7 p.m. CDT), the storm anchored itself firmly to the surface front, with new updraft generation along its western edge promoting more of a southwestward propagation and causing it to grow larger in both intensity/size, becoming more of a supercell cluster. It was during this time that the brief tornadoes occurred along the storm's far western flank, likely driven by pronounced low-level vorticity stretching along the surface front. While the sporadic tornado touchdowns were brief, the storm continued to be a prolific hail-producer as it gradually exited the local area out of Nuckolls County into northern Kansas between 7-8 p.m. CDT, ending all South Central Nebraska convection for the night. Crop damage and scouring occurred. The tornado started in Hamilton County and continued into Clay County.", "ts_dict_index": [14508, 14509, 14510]} +{"event_id": 997125, "event_type": "Tornado", "state": "TENNESSEE", "cz_name": "OBION", "begin_date_time": "2021-12-10 20:43:00", "end_date_time": "2021-12-10 20:44:00", "narrative": "December 10, 2021, was unseasonably warm over the region.

The tornado eventually strengthened into an EF-4 while moving through the Missouri Bootheel, resulting in 2 direct and one indirect fatality in Pemiscot County. The tornado then tracked across the Mississippi River into northwest Tennessee, producing an additional 4 fatalities near Reelfoot Lake. This tornado lifted for a brief time in Obion County, reorganized, and then moved into Kentucky. All told, the mesocyclone tracked for over 300 miles and was producing tornadoes for over 250 miles.

A few brief tornadoes produced minor damage near Cash in western Craighead County and in the Fisher area of western Poinsett County.

One of the manufactured homes destroyed had five residents inside when the tornado struck, and all five survived, with only one of the five injured while the others only experienced minor bumps and bruises. The tornado went on to destroy the fourth single wide manufactured home and damage the roofs of two additional homes along Fuller Lane. The tornado continued to snap and uproot several trees just off of Scott Road and damaged shingles to homes off of Pin Oak Flat Road and Berry Lane. The tornado went on to uproot and snap trees as it crossed Highway 175 and Interstate 49 just south of the Frierson exit.

An associated, strengthening surface low also tracked out of the Great Lakes and into upstate New York. A warm front associated with this low moved through most of New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania during the late morning and early afternoon hours. This front, combined with the remains of widespread convection to the west from the previous overnight and morning hours, brought significant cloud cover to the eastern mid-Atlantic for much of the day on the 29th. This was mainly in the form of mid and high level cloud cover, however, and temperatures still warmed to near seasonal levels behind the warm front, allowing moderate to strong instability to build. Meanwhile, the robust surface and upper level disturbances approaching the region brought both strong forcing and unseasonably strong wind shear. By mid-afternoon, an unusually favorable convective environment existed over eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey.||The result of this environment was a rare tornado outbreak across the area. Initially, during the mid-afternoon hours, mixed convective modes over east-central Pennsylvania produced a couple instances of damaging wind and brief tornadoes as storms attempted to overcome cloud cover and some light stratiform rain in the area. With time, as storms moved into better instability and a less contaminated environment over far eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, they took on more supercellular structures. Multiple cyclic supercells would go on to produce several tornadoes, three of them strong (EF2+) over eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Convection persisted past the sunset hour with little to no loss in intensity due to the strong forcing. The only thing that put an end to the outbreak was the coastline, as storms moved offshore towards 9 to 10PM local time. Even offshore, one supercell continued to exhibit strong rotation and likely produced a strong waterspout for tens of miles over the Atlantic.||Fortunately, and miraculously, no serious injuries or loss of life occurred as a result of this outbreak.

Once this activity developed, it remained nearly stationary until around 10PM CDT when an upper level disturbance arrived from the W and began to nudge convection to the E and SE. The primary hazard with the initial convection was landspout tornadoes. A total of four landspout tornadoes were observed: one in Kearney County, two in Hamilton County, and one in Polk County. Landspout tornadoes are often very weak and cause little to no damage. These landspouts generally fall into that category, but two of them did cause at least minor damage. Most notable was the landspout that occurred near Hwy 14 just S of Aurora. Not only was it very photogenic, but it also caused damage to a storage building and downed a power line. Other severe reports were limited to severe wind gust in Furnas County, and a large hail report in Kearney County. By late evening and into the overnight, the main threat turned to flash flooding due to the stationary/nearly-stationary nature of the thunderstorms. The heaviest rainfall amounts ranged from 3 to 6 inches and flash flooding was reported in Kearney, Adams, and Hamilton Counties. Impacts ranged from flooded streets, underpasses, and rural roads, to water in some basements in Aurora. Thunderstorms weakened considerably by midnight and lingering rain showers ended by dawn on the morning of the 3rd.||The landspout tornadoes developed within a zone of favorable juxtaposition of steep low level lapse rates, moderate low level instability, weak deep layer shear, and high ambient surface vorticity associated with the stalled surface boundary. Heavy rainfall was supported by aforementioned extremely slow storm motions, as well as seasonably high deep layer moisture. This landspout moved north-northwest for approximately 1 mile before diminishing roughly as it crossed Highway 14 just south of Aurora.

Meanwhile, an intensifying surface low pressure system and associated dry line developed along the Red River of North Texas into Southern Oklahoma during the afternoon hours, which spread east northeast across the Ark-La-Tex during the early morning hours on January 11th. With afternoon temperatures climbing into the mid 70s ahead of this trough, moderate instability developed across the broad warm sector, with very strong wind shear in place as large scale forcing increased ahead of the trough axis across East Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, and North Louisiana. Thus, an axis of strong to severe showers and thunderstorms developed during the evening hours across Southeast Oklahoma, adjacent sections of Southwest Arkansas and East Texas, which advanced east into North Louisiana during the early morning hours of the 11th. Widespread damaging winds downed trees and power lines across much of Northwest and Northcentral Louisiana, with even a long track tornado developing along the line of severe thunderstorms across Central Bossier, Southern Webster, and Southern Claiborne Parishes. Another isolated tornado touched down in Western Union Parish, before these storms exited the region shortly before daybreak on the 11th. Unfortunately, these storms resulted in four fatalities across Northwest Louisiana, three of which occurred from the Haughton tornado. A long track 40+ mile long EF-2 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 135 mph first touched down just south of Barksdale Air Force Base off of Sligo Road in Central Bossier Parish, where it snapped and uprooted hundreds of softwood and hardwood trees and damaged several carports and outbuildings. The tornado then crossed the far southeast corner of Barksdale Air Force Base where at least one hundred trees were snapped or uprooted. After the tornado exited the corner of Barksdale Air Force Base, it strengthened south of Haughton to produce its most significant damage, completely destroying a single-wide manufactured home and a double-wide manufactured home off of Davis Road. Two fatalities (a 79 year old male and his 65 year old wife) occurred in the double-wide with an additional fatality (an 87 year old male) occurring in the single-wide. The tornado continued to produce roof damage and uproot and snap trees which fell into homes in Eastern Bossier Parish, concentrated most along James Lane. The tornado continued moving northeast across Oliver Road and Camp Zion Road, where numerous trees were snapped and uprooted, while also removing siding off of a single-wide manufactured home, and ripping a portion of the metal exterior and doors off of the Bossier Parish Fire District 1 Station 6 building, as well as tearing off some vinyl siding to a mobile home living quarters located next door, before crossing over into Webster Parish.", "ts_dict_index": [14712, 14713, 14714]} +{"event_id": 1018630, "event_type": "Tornado", "state": "TEXAS", "cz_name": "HOCKLEY", "begin_date_time": "2022-05-23 19:37:00", "end_date_time": "2022-05-23 19:39:00", "narrative": "Returning Gulf of Mexico moisture into the South Plains of West Texas fueled widespread severe thunderstorm development across the region on the afternoon and evening of the 23rd.

During the evening hours on the 9th, isolated severe thunderstorms developed over portions of Deep East Texas along old outflow boundaries from the storms earlier in the day. These storms produced large hail in extreme Southern Sabine County and Central Nacogdoches County before diminishing by midnight. An EF-1 tornado with maximum estimated winds around 105 mph developed within a squall line of thunderstorms that produced sporadic straight line wind damage mainly to trees across Northern Harrison County. The tornado touched down a few miles west of Highway 59 on FM 1997, tracking east across County Road 4000 where several trees were snapped and uprooted. As the tornado crossed Highway 59 along the north side of Suburban Acres Road, numerous hardwood trees were snapped with a few homes receiving roof damage due to trees or large limbs falling on the structures.

In advance of this trough, rich low level moisture quickly spread northward from the Gulf of Mexico across East Texas, North Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas, along a strong southerly low level jet that developed ahead of a deepening surface low over Southeast Colorado and Western Kansas. With the trough taking on a more negative tilt as it ejected northeast across the Panhandle region, a dryline mixed east to the I-35 corridor of North-central Texas by early evening, and into East Texas and Eastern Oklahoma during the evening and overnight hours. Large scale forcing increased well ahead of the approaching upper trough across the expanding moist sector from the late morning through the afternoon and evening hours of the 2nd, with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developing across portions of Deep East Texas, North Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas. Increasing instability due to diurnal heating within a strongly sheared and moist air mass resulted in the gradual development of strong to severe thunderstorms across these areas, with locally heavy rain falling over areas where the storms moved repeatedly over the same areas. Rainfall amounts ranged from 1-3 inches across much of North Louisiana, with isolated higher totals of 5-6+ inches observed Eastern Bienville, much of Jackson, Western Ouachita, and Eastern Union Parishes. This resulted in areas of flash flooding across portions of North Louisiana from the mid-afternoon through the early morning hours on the 3rd, with sporadic reports of damaging winds and isolated tornadoes across the region as well. An EF-2 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 120 mph touched down just north of the Jackson/Winn Parish line along Highway 167 and moved northeast across Firetower Section Road and Highway 147/Walker Road, where numerous trees were snapped. On Walker Road, the tornado caused roof damage to a chicken house and some manufactured homes. The most significant damage on Walker Road occurred just north of its intersection with Whitman Road where a single-wide manufactured home, which was anchored into the ground, was flipped and rolled off of its foundation, destroying most of its roof and walls, but leaving the undercarriage attached. The tornado snapped and uprooted more trees and broke a wooden electrical pole as it crossed Rome Road, Highway 4, and Strain Allen Road. On Strain Allen Road, a very large hardwood tree was snapped and a home suffered the partial loss of its metal roof. More broken limbs and snapped trunks were observed as the tornado crossed Halfway Creek and travelled north-northeast along Kelley Road. The most significant damage along the entire tornado track occurred as it crossed Highway 811/Gladway Road near its intersection with Kelley Road. Here, a brick single-family home lost most of its roof. This caused the partial failure of the walls of the garage of the home, but the majority of the home remained standing and intact. A metal garage building on this property suffered a complete loss of its walls, but most of its roof and the metal frame poles remained standing. About 150 yards to the northwest, another brick single-family home suffered almost a total loss of its roof covering. The damage in this area was rated as EF-2 based mainly on the roof loss to the two homes. On the north side of Gladway Road, a double-wide manufactured home suffered the loss of most of its roof, but the walls remained standing. An attached carport on another single-family brick residence was destroyed as the tornado continued north of Gladway Road and west of Kelley Road. This tornado continued to snap numerous trees on Kelley Road as it continued northward crossing Slash Pine Road and again crossing Kelley Road and Parish Barn Road. More tree damage was observed along Lucy-Leonard Road and Highway 155. Two brick single-family homes on Highway 155 just west of Sugar Creek suffered some loss of shingles from the roof.

This was associated with a strong area of low pressure moving through the Great Lakes, which had brought widespread severe weather to the Southeast US in prior days. Behind the warm front, widespread cloud cover and scattered showers lingered for most of the day over the eastern mid-Atlantic. Despite temperatures that still warmed to above average values, this greatly limited instability. However, more sunshine and subsequent instability developed further west over central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. As a cold front approached by late afternoon, forcing for ascent increased, and strong wind fields were in place across the region in the warm sector of the Great Lakes low. Widespread convection developed over the interior mid-Atlantic, some of which became strong to severe. Convection generally favored a linear evolution with some embedded supercell structures. Because of the orientation of mid and upper level winds and the decreasing instability to the east, thunderstorms were very slow to move east and gradually lost intensity with time. In the local area, reports of severe weather were mostly isolated and confined to eastern Pennsylvania. However, a short-lived EF1 tornado did touch down over Bucks County, producing a 2 mile path of tree, utility, and some structural damage. Shower and thunderstorm activity continued through much of the night, slowly making its way to the coast, but was well below severe limits over New Jersey and Delmarva in the later hours of the night. A tornado began in Hilltown Township along Souderton Road about a |half mile west of Route 313/Dublin Pike.

An upper level disturbance ejecting northeast ahead of the trough across portions of East Texas and North Louisiana during the early morning hours of April 13th carried enough elevated instability, shear, and forcing north of an advancing warm front over Southeast Texas and South Louisiana, such that scattered strong to severe thunderstorms developed, with numerous reports of large hail and occasional damaging winds received. The warm front continued to gradually mix north northwest into East Texas and Northcentral Louisiana by late morning and early afternoon hours, with a very warm, moist, and unstable air mass noted over Deep East Texas and portions of Northcentral Louisiana south of the front. Coupled with even stronger forcing and low level shear ahead of the approaching upper trough, additional strong to severe thunderstorms developed near and south of the front from late morning through the afternoon, producing numerous reports of damaging winds with several tornadoes across portions of East Texas. These showers and thunderstorms diminished by early evening with the departure of the trough, and the arrival of an associated cold front which brought about cooler, drier, and more stable air southeast into the region. An EF-3 tornado with maximum estimated winds near 160 mph that originally touched down in Houston County about 9 miles northeast of Crockett crossed the Neches River into Southwest Cherokee County, where it snapped and uprooted thousands of trees along its path. The tornado paralleled Highway 21 before reaching the city of Alto, where it severely damaged or destroyed approximately 20 homes. Included along the damage path southwest of Alto was the Caddo Mounds Sate Historic Site building, which had its roof torn off, nearly all of its exterior walls removed, and was left to only a few interior rooms in the building. Several people were outside running to get inside for safety when the building was destroyed, resulting in one fatality and a number of serious injuries. Multiple cars in the parking lot were thrown 150 yards into trees and across Highway 21. The tornado then went on to lift and destroy a double wide mobile home, throwing it 50 yards. As the tornado continued along Highway 21, its most significant damage was at a single family home and the St. Thomas Chapel which saw their roofs and exterior walls collapsed. Winds were estimated at 150 mph at this point. ||As the tornado neared Alto, it destroyed three homes along Highway 294 and Singletary Street, recording high end EF-3 damage as it wiped the lower level of a two story home off of its foundation and left the top story of the home 20 yards away from the foundation. This damage was reviewed by tornado damage experts from the National Weather Service (NWS) Southern Region Headquarters, NWS Norman, and the Warning Decision Training Division who all agreed it was high end EF-3 damage (with maximum estimated winds near 160 mph) based off how the home walls were separated from the bolts which anchored them to the foundation. Surrounding damage indicators also validated the EF-3 tornado determination. ||The storm then went on to destroy several homes and mobile homes at nearby Alto Elementary School and Alto High School.

As a result, an ongoing complex of showers and thunderstorms over Oklahoma strengthened as they moved into a more unstable environment during the afternoon ahead of the cold front and upper low, becoming strong to severe across portions of Southwest Arkansas, East Texas, and Northwest Louisiana. These storms also produced a few isolated tornadoes across portions of Rusk and Western Panola Counties, with localized flash flooding observed across portions of Upshur and Panola Counties. An EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds of 110 mph first touched down near Highway 259, causing damage at the Whispering Pines RV Park. This damage consisted of numerous trees being uprooted or snapped along with the complete destruction of a towable RV trailer. In addition, a food truck was tossed around 50 feet along with a number of canopies being tossed up to 500 feet.

This produced a strong pressure gradient over the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley, allowing for very rich Gulf moisture to surge north across the Ark-La-Tex area into Eastern Oklahoma and much of Arkansas. This generated moderate instability across these areas during the afternoon, as temperatures rose into the lower to mid 80s. Very strong wind shear was also in place over these areas, with the upper trough reinforcing a cold front southeast into Southeast Oklahoma, Western Arkansas, and East Texas. This trough enhanced large scale forcing along the front, with discrete supercell development also occurring ahead of the main line of storms over portions of East Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and Southwest Arkansas. Multiple tornadoes, some strong, touched down across these areas, with additional instances of damaging winds also reported before the line of storms overtook these discrete supercells and shifted east across the remainder of East Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and into North Louisiana during the evening and overnight hours. This is the continuation of the Red River County Texas EF-4 tornado. This tornado had weakened upon entering Southern McCurtain County Oklahoma, producing EF-2 damage in rural areas southwest of Idabel, ripping the roofs off of several single family homes. Shortly before entering Idabel, the outer edge of this tornado hit the Oklahoma Mesonet observing platform located about 5 miles to the southwest off of Ravens Nest Road. An anemometer located 10 meters above the platform measured a wind gust of 108 mph, with a nearby single family home sustaining roof damage where EF-2 winds estimated near 125 mph removed a large section of the roof structure with a wall collapsing on another single family home off of Osprey Road. The tornado continued on to snap several hundred trees before hitting a single family home off of Boss Road which had a wall collapse and partial roof damage that could not be rated due to trees falling into the home. More EF-2 damage was observed as the tornado approached Highway 259 when the tornado removed the roof and much of the second story off of a single family home. The two people in the home took shelter on the first floor under the stairs, preventing injury as winds estimated at 125 mph damaged the home. As the tornado moved northeast across Stone Haven Road, a Davis weather station recorded a gust of approximately 130 mph. ||Upon entering Idabel, the tornado damaged additional roofs of homes in several neighborhoods on the southeast side of town. One of the most hard hit subdivisions was Country Club Estates. None of the homes in the Country Club Estates were rated due to tree damage which resulted in much of the structural damage from trees falling into homes. Nearby at the Idabel Country Club, nearly every tree sustained damage on approximately six holes, with mostly snaps observed. There was also some debarking of trees in this area, where an EF-3 swath of damage had begun. Behind the golf course, a single family home was destroyed with most of its walls collapsed except for a small interior room. ||The tornado continued to move northeast, hitting the Kiamichi Family Medical Center where EF-2 damage (near 115 mph) was estimated due to the facade components that were torn from the structure. As the tornado approached Highway 259 and East Washington Street, it damaged the sign of a McDonald's and a swath of EF-3 winds completely destroyed the Donut Crossing and Express Tire stores. A sign from the Donut Crossing store was lofted by the tornado and carried 14.3 miles where it was found on the west side of Eagletown. After crossing East Washington Street, the tornado completely destroyed the Trinity Baptist Church. Winds at this location were estimated to be near 155 mph with the total destruction of the metal building system which was surrounded by a brick wall that collapsed with concrete anchors pulled up from the ground. The tornado moved on to produce narrow EF-2 damage in the more broader EF-1 damage swath with small vorticies likely extending down to the ground from the elevated large funnel cloud at this point. ||After moving northeast of Idabel, the tornado crossed mainly rural areas and completely destroyed chicken houses while snapping hardwood and softwood trees for approximately the next ten miles. An areal survey indicates that the tornado briefly lifted near the Little River and then touched down again in a forested area before damaging a metal structure atop a chicken plant off of Craig Road. A survey team from the National Weather Service Little Rock office found EF-2 damage with 135 mph winds between Eagletown and Broken Bow just south of Highway 70, where numerous trees and several wooden utility poles were snapped near the base near the Tyson Craig Feed Mill, a large elevator structure on top of a silo collapsed with a portion of a metal roof and walls ripped off of an adjacent metal building, and a doublewide manufactured home at the eastern end of Box Turtle Road was thrown off of its concrete pad, nearly pulling out an underground shelter, rolling over it, and landing about 30 feet to the north. Over half of the house was stripped of the undercarriage. Only about one-third of the walls/roof were left with the remainder of the structure removed and scattered well to the north. ||As the tornado crossed Highway 70 just west of Eagletown, many additional pines and hardwoods were snapped and uprooted. Nearly all utility poles within the path were also snapped or pushed over. The tornado then moved into a heavily forested area north of Eagletown with more specific damage noted from Old Winship Road to Pero Creek through the use of high-resolution satellite imagery before the tornado finally lifted a few miles before reaching the border with Northwestern Sevier County in Southwest Arkansas. ||Remarkedly, only 6 injuries and no fatalities were reported from this long track tornado throughout Southern and Eastern McCurtain County Oklahoma.

Redevelopment of these storms continued overnight as well over the same areas of East Texas and Northwest Louisiana, which resulted in instances of flash flooding as well, as widespread rainfall amounts of 3-6 inches fell over these areas. These storms diminished during the early morning hours of the 22nd with the passage of a cold front through the region. An EF-2 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 130 mph, touched down along County Road 3124 in extreme Eastern Rusk County, snapping and uprooting several trees before crossing County Road 3121 into Western Panola County. While the stronger winds were noted in Panola County, maximum winds were estimated to be near 90 mph (low EF-1 strength) in extreme Eastern Rusk County.", "ts_dict_index": [15054, 15055, 15056]} +{"event_id": 1031943, "event_type": "Tornado", "state": "TEXAS", "cz_name": "RUSK", "begin_date_time": "2022-05-05 13:04:00", "end_date_time": "2022-05-05 13:08:00", "narrative": "A surface low was centered over the southern Texas Panhandle with a stationary front extending through southern Oklahoma into southern Arkansas eastward into northern Mississippi. A dry line extended southward from the surface low through west Texas into the Big Bend Country along with a cold front draped southwest from the surface low into southeast New Mexico. Aloft, an upper-level low was initially centered just east of the Rockies in eastern Colorado before tracking into eastern Kansas and eventually into the Ozarks on the morning of May 6th. Meanwhile, the surface low shifted along the Red River Valley with the cold front trailing along the I-35 corridor, shifting farther east into the Ark-La-Tex region on the afternoon and evening of May 5th. As a result, an ongoing complex of showers and thunderstorms over Oklahoma strengthened as they moved into a more unstable environment during the afternoon ahead of the cold front and upper low, becoming strong to severe across portions of Southwest Arkansas, East Texas, and Northwest Louisiana. These storms also produced a few isolated tornadoes across portions of Rusk and Western Panola Counties, with localized flash flooding observed across portions of Upshur and Panola Counties. This was the second tornado of an east to northeast moving supercell thunderstorm. This EF-1 tornado, with estimated maximum winds of 104 mph, moved over Martin Creek Lake and eventually into western Panola County. Most of the damage consisted of snapped and uprooted trees. The total path length in Rusk County was approximately two miles before entering Western Panola County.", "ts_dict_index": [15069, 15070, 15071]} +{"event_id": 881231, "event_type": "Tornado", "state": "OKLAHOMA", "cz_name": "MCCURTAIN", "begin_date_time": "2020-04-28 21:20:00", "end_date_time": "2020-04-28 21:24:00", "narrative": "A deepening upper level trough sweeping southeast across Oklahoma and Arkansas reinforced a cold front southeast across the Southern Plains and Ozarks region during the afternoon and evening hours on April 28th, where a complex of showers and thunderstorms developed by mid and late afternoon over these areas and quickly progressed southeast into the Four State Region. Despite the showers and thunderstorms that affected the area earlier in the day, instability remained adequate especially over East Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and adjacent sections of Southwest Arkansas. As large scale forcing increased ahead of the trough, thus tapping into this unstable air, a squall line progressed southeast through all of the region during the late evening through the early morning hours on April 29th, producing widespread reports of damaging winds and large hail. A couple of isolated tornadoes also touched down across McCurtain County Oklahoma, one associated with the supercell that developed ahead of the line, and another associated within the squall line itself. These storms exited Southeast Oklahoma into Northeast Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and North Louisiana just prior to midnight on the 29th. An EF-2 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 125 mph touched down in a heavily wooded area along Union Valley Road, snapping and uprooting numerous trees. The tornado moved south southeast, tossing two barges over 100 yards and lifting a large portion of the roof deck of a home, causing it to collapse. The tornado then completely destroyed a single-wide manufactured home, with the base frame of the home twisted and tossed 100 yards to the east. Further to the south, another home sustained significant roof and structural damage when large gas tanks were tossed into it. The tornado then continued to snap numerous trees along Cascade Creek Road and along Wyr 20000 Road, as well as removing roofing material from another home on Union Valley Road. The tornado continued to track southeast across a heavily wooded area before crossing into Sevier County Arkansas.", "ts_dict_index": [15084, 15085, 15086]}
