A cold front slowly moved south during the afternoon on August 4th into eastern Nebraska and western Iowa. The front neared the Interstate 80 corridor by late afternoon. In addition, an outflow boundary from early storms in southeast Nebraska and southwest Iowa was lifting north. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms developed during peak heating along these two boundaries. Due to the combination of the thunderstorms developing on the stalling boundaries and very steep low-level lapse rates two landspout tornadoes were observed. Otherwise the thunderstorms were largely non-severe with gusty non-severe winds and heavy rainfall.
