The Automated Surface Observing System at Boston's Logan International Airport (KBOS) recorded a wind gust of 48 mph. No damage was reported.
Between 9 pm CDT on Wednesday evening the 18th and 7am CDT Thursday the 19th, the majority of the 24-county South Central Nebraska area observed one or more rounds of predominantly non-severe thunderstorm activity. Although radar signatures and automated wind sensors indicated that a few storms were likely strong to potentially marginally severe, ground-truth storm reports were quite scarce during these overnight hours. The only verifiable report of severe weather in the local area occurred in the form of a measured 66 MPH gust at the Ord airport shortly before 3 am CDT, as a small but vigorous line of storms surged into Valley County and vicinity from the southwest. Shortly after producing these strong winds, this convective line steadily weakened and the severe threat subsided.
As for convective evolution during the evening and overnight hours, the first isolated strong storm crossed out of Kansas into Harlan and Franklin counties between 9-10 pm CDT. Renewed strong development along the eastern periphery of this initial storm lifted northeast through the Hastings and Aurora areas through around midnight CDT before weakening. Meanwhile, a separate, semi-organized line of strong storms gradually developed east-northeast out of western Nebraska into western and northern portions of South Central Nebraska mainly between 1230 am and 3 am CDT. During this time frame, the northern part of this line briefly intensified into a small-scale bowing segment, producing the severe winds in the Ord area. Through the remainder of the night, a cluster of fairly weak thunderstorms rumbled eastward across the majority of South Central Nebraska before dissipating and/or exiting eastward by around sunrise. In the big picture of the mid-upper levels, overnight convection was driven by a series of low amplitude disturbances ejecting northeastward across the Central Plains in south-southwesterly flow, well to the southeast of a parent closed mid level low anchored over the Montana-Alberta-Saskatchewan border area. At the surface, most convection concentrated along and just behind a slow-moving cold front drifting west-to-east across South Central Nebraska. The uptick in storm coverage late in the night was also aided by increasing low-mid level convergence in the 850-700 millibar layer, and within the nose of a 40-50 knot low level jet aimed into the area. Around the time of the severe wind gust at Ord, the mesoscale environment featured around 1000 J/kg most-unstable CAPE and 40-50 knots of 0-6 kilometer deep layer wind shear.

A small-scale bow echo tracked southward out of Nebraska into North Central Kansas on this Wednesday evening. This bow echo, which evolved from a supercell, produced a long swath of significant severe weather over South Central Nebraska. This storm tracked across Jewell County between 8:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. CDT and was in the process of weakening. However, one final report of severe weather occurred in the town of Randall, where strong winds downed large tree limbs which resulted in some minor damage to one home.
This storm originally developed in an upslope flow regime, north of a quasi-stationary front, with high pressure over the Midwest. The front extended from northwest to southeast across Nebraska and bisected South Central Nebraska, separating temperatures in the 80s to near 90 from rain cooled air in the 60s and 70s during the late afternoon hours. Aloft, subtropical high pressure was over New Mexico, with a low amplitude ridge over the Rockies and a trough over the eastern United States. These storms formed on the eastern fringe of the instability gradient. Poor mid-level lapse rates, and cool surface temperatures, resulting in innocuous MLCAPE of 500 to 1500 J/kg. Deep layer shear was between 40 and 50 knots.
