This Monday afternoon and evening featured the last fairly widespread severe weather event of the 2010 convective season in South Central Nebraska, as moisture and instability increased along an east-west quasi-stationary surface front aligned near the Nebraska-Kansas state line. All severe weather events involved large hail and focused south of Interstate 80. As storms first developed across the area at mid-afternoon, the mesoscale environment was ripe for organized severe weather with around 40 knots of deep-layer vertical wind shear, and 3000 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE. This environment supported at least brief supercell structures, with the bulk of severe hail reports associated with a few discrete storms. Most notable was a storm that pounded parts of Kearney, Phelps, and Harlan Counties with very large hail up to baseball size. Considerable hail damage occurred in the community of Wilcox. Elsewhere across the area, hail up to golf ball size was reported near Pauline in southeast Adams County.
