An intense upper low that tracked along the Kansas and Nebraska border and resultant surface low pressure system helped spawn a few severe thunderstorms, and even a tornado, over southeast Nebraska.  The storms developed near a warm front that extended from the low into southeast Nebraska.  Surface temperatures south of the warm front climbed into the 60s and 70s but dewpoint temperatures both ahead of and just behind the warm front managed to only climb into the 30s and 40s, somewhat limiting the coverage of the severe thunderstorms.  This system produced blizzard conditions and areas of heavy snow from the Nebraska Sandhills into northeast Nebraska during the afternoon and overnight hours of April 4th and 5th.

This flood event began for many counties in late March, then continued through April and into May. After the winter storm event that dumped up to two feet of snow over portions of the region from March 29th through April 1st, temperatures remained below normal through the tenth of the month. Luckily, there were no other big rain or snow events through this time. However, being early April, the snowpack left on the ground did continue to melt. The remaining snowpack was deepest across the Devils Lake region, the far southern Red River Valley, and in the Sheyenne River Valley. The nearly two feet of new snow in the late March winter storm event caused additional overland flooding and river rises in the southern Red River Valley. Water levels also remained high along the mainstem Red River. The rest of the month of April continued with below normal temperatures, while the climate reporting site at Fargo measured below normal precipitation amounts.

Large portions of roofing were blown off a church on the southeast outskirts of the city of Paducah. Within one-quarter mile of the church, several homes received shingle damage, a flagpole was snapped, and a barbecue shack was blown down. On Interstate 24 near the 10-mile marker, a bus crash was indirectly blamed on strong winds. A car reportedly blew into a truck, and the truck either struck the bus or caused the bus to crash. The bus driver was critically injured, and about a dozen passengers were taken to a local hospital.
