One of the warmest and driest Mays on record worsened the rare spring drought over southern Illinois. By the end of May, the drought was severe in the counties along the Ohio River. Moderate drought conditions existed elsewhere to the southeast of a line from Fairfield to Carbondale. At Carbondale, spring of 2012 was the second driest spring on record. Only 6.50 inches of rain fell from March through May. The month of May was the driest on record. Only 0.40 inch fell at Carbondale in May. Soils continued to dry out, and topsoil moisture deficits began to be reported. Streamflows were running below normal by the end of the month.

Two separate areas of slow moving, hail-producing severe thunderstorms flared up within South Central Nebraska on this Thursday afternoon and early evening, one focused in the Harlan County area and the other farther north in Howard County and vicinity. The majority of hail reports from this event were from the Republican City and Orleans areas, with the largest hail up to baseball size reported several miles northwest of Republican City. The southern storms were the first to develop, and primarily consisted of two supercells that tracked southeast across parts of Harlan and western Franklin Counties between 3 PM and 6 PM CDT, before fizzling out near the Kansas border. As the southern storms started to weaken, a separate area of slow moving, strong to marginally severe storms flared up north of Interstate 80 mainly between 6 PM and 830 PM CDT in the Howard and Nance County area. By 10 PM CDT, all storm activity within the 24-county area had faded away. The initial round of mid-afternoon storms in the Harlan County area developed along the western edge of a sharp instability gradient, in the vicinity of a weak surface trough axis. Aloft, large scale forcing was quite limited, with only subtle shortwave energy embedded within modest west-southwest flow. Around the time of the largest hail in Harlan County, the mesoscale environment featured around 3000 J/kg mixed layer CAPE and 35 knots of 0-6 km vertical wind shear.

Around 7 PM CDT on this Saturday evening, a small but intense high-based supercell storm barreled into Rooks County from the south, striking Zurich with estimated 70 MPH winds and hail up to quarter size. Some wind damage was reported in Zurich, including sections of a privacy fence blown down. Shortly after departing the Zurich area, this storm rapidly weakened and had all but dissipated by the time it reached far northern Rooks County. Before it reached the local area, this storm already had a long history of damaging winds, as it first developed along a north-south oriented dryline near Dodge City around 430 PM CDT. It was able to intensify despite the presence of warm mid level temperatures, overcoming this capping inversion within a deeply-mixed environment with very steep low level lapse rates. On the larger scale aloft, synoptic forcing was fairly weak with broad south-southwest flow in place over the Central Plains on the eastern periphery of a deep large scale trough centered over the Intermountain West. Early evening mesoscale parameters featured around 1000 J/kg mixed layer CAPE but only around 30 knots of 0-6 kilometer vertical wind shear.
