For the second evening in a row, strong to severe thunderstorms developed across parts of eastern Nebraska along a nearly stationary front that had pushed into the region.  Higher amounts of instability allowed for a little larger coverage in the severe weather than previous evening, and some isolated wind damage and heavier rain totals also occurred along with the large hail reports.
