What happened

The episode as NWS GID wrote it up.

In what had already been a very active start to June across parts of South Central Nebraska, what transpired on the afternoon of Wednesday the 10th into the early morning of Thursday the 11th was the final, truly widespread severe weather/flooding event of the month before a noticeably quieter weather pattern settled in over the next few weeks. Focusing first on the severe weather aspect, the afternoon and evening featured several reports of large hail and damaging winds within various counties. Storm mode was primarily multicell, some of which started out as semi-discrete before eventually merging into larger clusters and lines. Most hail reports were in the nickel to half dollar size range, with 1.25 diameter stones reported near Elwood and Lexington. However, one storm that tracked north of Lexington around 6 p.m. CDT was a prolific hail-producer, as a storm chaser reported a short stretch of Highway 21 completely hail-covered with most stones averaging golf ball size but one as large as 3 in diameter. As for damaging winds, there were primarily three noteworthy storms. First off, a cluster of severe storms shifted eastward into the Valley/Sherman counties area between 5:30-6:30 p.m. CDT. In Arcadia, the NWS cooperative observer estimated 70 MPH gusts, with 10-12 diameter tree limbs down. A bit later, a storm became severe near the Franklin/Kearney County line around 7 p.m. CDT and rapidly tracked northeast during the next few hours. Along the way, estimated 70 MPH winds overturned seven empty freight cars of a 72-car train near Kenesaw in extreme western Adams County. This storm weakened before reaching Grand Island, with only 50-60 MPH gusts reported on the south side of town around 8:30 p.m. CDT. While the train-toppling storm was in progress, a separate severe storm to its northeast passed through Merrick and northern Hamilton counties, causing tree and power line damage in Central City and Hordville around 8 p.m. CDT. By 9 p.m. CDT, storms had largely settled below severe-limits, with just one additional 60 MPH wind report along the Franklin/Webster County line. Through the remainder of the night, scattered to numerous showers and non-severe storms persisted over much of South Central Nebraska, with most counties finally rain-free by sunrise. As for rainfall amounts, the majority of the 24-county area totaled 1-2. However, there were a few smaller pockets of at least 2-3, most notably within York, northern Hamilton and southwestern Polk counties, where NeRAIN observers reported 3.46 near Hordville and 3.24 near Benedict. Although a few dry days leading up to this event had allowed the York County area to start drying out in the wake of flooding rains that fell primarily on the 4th-5th, this event resulted in renewed short-term flooding issues. Most notably this involved the West Fork Big Blue River near McCool Junction, which again came out of its banks during the day on the 11th, only a few days after historic flooding occurred. Fortunately, flooding was not as severe this time around, and the river largely fell back into its banks by the end of the day on Friday the 12th (please refer to the June 4th p.m.-June 5th a.m. episode narrative for much more detail regarding multiple days of flooding along the West Fork Big Blue River).

Most of the timing details of this severe weather event were already covered in the preceding paragraph, as all hail/strong wind reports occurred between 4:00-9:30 p.m. CDT. However, the first strong storms of the afternoon actually developed eastward into the Dawson/Gosper counties area as early as 2:30-4:00 p.m. CDT. Turning to the synoptic and mesoscale setup: the primary trigger aloft was a series of fairly subtle disturbances gradually overspreading the Central Plains, out ahead of a modest shortwave trough drifting southeast toward the region from the Northern Rockies. At the surface, a few different boundaries helped to focus convection, including a generally west-to-east oriented quasi-stationary front draped through central Nebraska and also a trough axis extending southwest from the local area to weak low pressure centered near the KS/CO border. With afternoon temperatures rising between 90-95 degrees, storms erupted in an environment featuring around 2000 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE and 30-40 knots of 0-6 kilometer deep layer wind shear. During the night, widespread weak convection persisted within the exit region of a 30-40 knot low level jet.

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 444 AM CDT WED JUN 10 2015

BEEN ANOTHER NIGHT OF QUIET CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA...WHICH
REMAINS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF UPPER LEVEL RIDGING THAT IS
GRADUALLY SLIDING EAST WITH TIME. PUSHED BY AN UPPER LEVEL LOW
MOVING ONTO THE WEST COAST...THE MAIN RIDGE AXIS LOOKS TO BE JUST
OFF TO THE EAST OF THE CWA...WITH SWRLY FLOW BUILDING IN BEHIND.
AT THE SFC...A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO SAG SOUTH EARLY
THIS MORNING. ITS NOT A QUICK MOVING FRONT...AS ITS MAIN PUSH /AN
UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVING THROUGH ONTARIO/ CONTINUES TO MOVE FURTHER
OFF TO THE EAST. WINDS ACROSS THE AREA ARE CURRENTLY ON THE LIGHT
AND AT TIMES VARIABLE SIDE. MILD TEMPERATURES REMAIN IN
PLACE...WITH 3 AM OBS RANGING FROM THE MID 60S TO MID 70S.

EXPECTING DRY CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE INTO MUCH OF THE DAYTIME
HOURS...WITH INCREASING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THE FURTHER INTO THE
AFTERNOON WE GO. MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT SHOWING AN UPPER
LEVEL SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE EJECTED OUT AHEAD OF THAT WRN CONUS
LOW MOVING THROUGH THE ROCKIES TODAY...EMERGING ONTO THE PLAINS
THIS EVENING. MODELS SHOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CLOSED MID LEVEL
LOW OVER WRN NEB THIS EVENING...AND NOT MAKING A LOT OF EASTWARD
PROGRESS BY 12Z THURSDAY. AT THE SURFACE...WHILE THE PATTERN
STARTS THE DAY OUT WEAK...MODELS AGREE WITH THAT SFC BOUNDARY
SETTLING IN OVER THE CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE CWA THIS MORNING.
DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS...IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING UPPER
LEVEL SYSTEM...SFC LOW PRESSURE DEEPENS OVER ERN CO...WITH A
EASTWARD EXTENDING WARM FRONT EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE WELL DEFINED
WITH TIME. MODEL AGREEMENT WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE FRONT IS
PRETTY GOOD...SHOWING IT LOCATED ROUGHLY IN THE I-80/HIGHWAY 6
REGION.

EXPECTING THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVE IN FROM
THE HIGH PLAINS...WITH SOME MODELS SHOWING THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOME DEVELOPMENT CLOSER TO THE FRONT. THE HIGHEST POPS IN THE
SHORT TERM PERIOD REMAIN IN THE 00-12Z TIME FRAME TONIGHT AS THE
DISTURBANCE MOVES FURTHER INTO THE REGION...WITH LIFT AIDED BY THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A HEFTY LLJ /50+KTS/...WITH THE BETTER CONVERGENCE
ALONG THE NOSE OF THE JET LOOKING TO BE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
CWA. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW MUCAPE VALUES IN EXCESS OF 3000 J/KG
DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CWA WITH TEMPS
CLIMBING INTO THE 80S/90S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S. WHILE DEEP
LAYER SHEAR IS NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE...ITS SUFFICIENT TO RESULT IN
SEVERE WEATHER CONCERNS. WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE AREA THERE
IS SOME LEVEL OF CONCERN ABOUT A TORNADO THREAT /MODELS SHOWING AN
INCREASE IN LL SHEAR THIS EVENING AS THE LLJ CRANKS UP/...BUT THE
PRIMARY HAZARDS WITH THIS ACTIVITY THROUGH TONIGHT LOOKS TO BE
WITH LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND HEAVY RAINFALL. CONSIDERED
THE ISSUANCE OF A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR LOCATIONS IN THE ERN HALF
OF THE CWA WHICH HAS SEEN EXCESSIVE RAIN IN THE PAST WEEK...BUT
AFTER COLLAB WITH NEIGHBORS AND WITH SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH WHERE
THE CORRIDOR OF HEAVIEST RAIN WILL BE...AM HOLDING OFF AND WILL
LET THE DAY CREW GET A LOOK AT THE UPCOMING 12Z RUN OF MODEL DATA.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 444 AM CDT WED JUN 10 2015

BIGGEST ISSUES INCLUDE THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGHOUT THE LONG TERM FORECAST...AND THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE
WEATHER.

THE OVERALL PATTERN WILL BE PERSISTENT WITH TROUGHING OVER THE
WEST/NORTHWEST UNITED STATES AND SUBTROPICAL RIDGING IN THE SOUTH.
FLOW IN OUR VICINITY WILL BE ZONAL AND LOW-AMPLITUDE. AT THE
SURFACE...A STATIONARY BOUNDARY COULD HANG AROUND FOR A GOOD CHUNK
OF THE TIME...MOST LIKELY LURKING IN THE SOUTHERN CWA...OR PERHAPS
JUST TO THE SOUTH. THIS IS A RECIPE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF
PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND THERE ARE CHANCES OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS  FOR ALL PERIODS OF THE LONG TERM FORECAST.

FOR THURSDAY...THERE COULD BE SOME LEFTOVER CONVECTION IN THE
MORNING FROM THE OVERNIGHT MCS...MOST LIKELY IN THE EAST/NORTHEAST
CWA. SEVERE PARAMETERS INDICATE THAT THIS WILL NOT LIKELY BE
SEVERE.  THE MAIN THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING WILL BE NEAR AND AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT
PROGRESSING SOUTH THROUGH THE CWA. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH
INSTABILITY AND SHEAR TO SUPPORT SEVERE WEATHER...ALTHOUGH IT
APPEARS THAT STORMS WILL FIRE LATE ENOUGH TO MAINLY CONTAIN THE
SEVERE THREAT TOWARD THE SOUTHERN CWA.

WITH THE SURFACE BOUNDARY NEARBY...AND NUMEROUS PERTURBATIONS
MOVING  BY...CHANCES OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGHOUT THE LONG TERM...BUT MOSTLY GREATER CHANCE IN THE
SOUTHERN CWA...CLOSER TO WHERE THE SURFACE BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO
STALL. ALSO...THE NIGHTLY OCCURRENCE OF A LOW-LEVEL JET NEARBY
COULD INCREASE CHANCES OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE NIGHT.
ALTHOUGH SEVERE WEATHER CAN NOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT FOR FRIDAY
AND BEYOND...IT IS DIFFICULT TO BE CONFIDENT WITH SEVERE CHANCES
BEYOND THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. TEMPERATURES IN THE LONG TERM
WILL BE NEAR NORMAL FOR THE MOST PART...BUT WILL EDGE UPWARD WITH
TIME AS THE SUBTROPICAL HIGH SLOWLY GAINS STRENGTH.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 619 AM CDT WED JUN 10 2015

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN THROUGH THIS TAF PERIOD LIES WITH
INCREASING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. CONFIDENCE IN THE TIMING OF THE
ONSET OF THUNDERSTORMS IS LOW...AS MODELS VARY ANYWHERE FROM MID
AFTERNOON TO AFTER 00Z...BUT AGREEMENT IS BETTER WITH ACTIVITY
POSSIBLE WELL INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. AT THIS POINT WILL KEEP
ANY MENTION AS VCTS DUE TO UNCERTAINTY...AND DAY CREW WILL ADJUST
AS TRENDS BECOME MORE CLEAR. OTHERWISE...WINDS START THE DAY LIGHT
AND VARIABLE...BEFORE A DEEPENING SFC LOW OVER ERN CO RESULTS IN
MORE EASTERLY WINDS.

ALTHOUGH SEVERE WEATHER COULD OCCUR AT VIRTUALLY ANY TIME DURING
THE DAY 2 THROUGH 7 TIME FRAME...THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
IS THE FOCUS FOR THE GREATEST POTENTIAL OF SEVERE WEATHER...MAINLY
ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM BEAVER CITY TO GENEVA NEBRASKA AND
INCLUDES NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS. THE MAIN THREATS FROM THESE
STORMS INCLUDE LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...AND LOCALIZED
FLOODING. BEYOND THURSDAY EVENING...TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IN
THE FORECAST TO PIN DOWN DETAILS REGARDING SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT.
