Large upper level trough over the western U.S. continued to eject energy out over the Central Plains, with a surface low remaining anchored over eastern Colorado with a stationary boundary draped east through the region.  Storms once again initially developed during the early afternoon near the dry line over western Kansas and drifted east; with the increase of the low level jet helping storms which had developed along the stationary front continue on well into the late evening hours.  It was another night of efficient storms in regard to rainfall, dropping several inches over portions of south-central Nebraska, causing additional flooding problems.
