Thunderstorms developed during the afternoon over the high Plains of northeast Colorado and southwest Nebraska ahead of a cold front. These thunderstorms tracked to the east through the evening entering southeast Nebraska. Although instability was limited, strong shear allowed for a couple of supercells to track across the area producing one short-lived tornado, and numerous reports of large hail. The thunderstorms exited the area by early morning.
