A stalled front extending from extreme southeast Nebraska into central Kansas, and an upper level low pressure trough to the west, brought scattered severe thunderstorms to eastern Nebraska during much of Sunday June 7th into the very early morning hours of June 8th.  Temperatures climbed into the lower 80s in far southeast Nebraska and southwest Iowa on the 7th, while readings remained in the 50s in northeast Nebraska.  Elevated storms, a few of which dropped large hail, moved across northeast Nebraska from late morning through the afternoon hours of the 7th.  By late afternoon of that day several supercell thunderstorms developed along the stalled front.  These storms shifted out of the region by early evening but additional thunderstorms that developed near the boundary in Kansas moved back into southeast Nebraska later that evening into the early overnight hours.  Although the environment was favorable for tornadoes this evening, in Nebraska the storms produced large hail and a few strong wind reports.
