A seasonably strong shortwave trough moved into the northern Plains during the day on Monday July 7th. This allowed for a cold front to advance southeast across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa during the late afternoon and evening hours. Due to persistent clouds, as well as frontal passage the previous day resulting in limited moisture, the atmosphere was only moderately unstable for July standards. A band of elevated showers and thunderstorms slowly intensified as they moved southeast across the area. The thunderstorms become the most intense over far southwest Iowa and southeast Nebraska closer to a stalled frontal boundary. The thunderstorms quickly moved into northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri by late evening ending the severe weather threat.
