A dry line pushed east across eastern Nebraska and into western Iowa on the afternoon of May 7th. Behind the dry line temperature soared into the mid and upper 90s across parts of the area. During the evening the dry line began to retreat which allowed humid and unstable air to rush back into eastern Nebraska and western Iowa. With hot temperatures, little capping inversion remained as the humid air moved westward and thus thunderstorms developed along the dry line. Although shear was only modest, the strong instability allowed for marginal severe weather in the form of wind and hail across the area.
