sweetapricity/bridgedeck-noaa huggingface dataset:
The morning and early afternoon of Saturday the 6th featured scattered, mainly weak thunderstorms within northern and especially western portions of South Central Nebraska (particularly areas west of the Highway 183 corridor). However, one storm briefly spiked up to severe levels over far northern Furnas and southern Gosper counties between 8:30-9:30 a.m. CDT, yielding reports of quarter size hail covering Highway 283 several miles north of Arapahoe along with nickel size hail south-southwest of Smithfield.
This short-lived morning severe storm was a bit of a surprise, as earlier activity that drifted through counties north of I-80 before sunrise was fairly weak, as were other morning/early afternoon storms that developed across portions of mainly Furnas/Gosper/Dawson/Phelps counties. All convection departed/lifted north of the local area by 1-2 p.m. CDT. As best could be surmised, this flare up of early-day convection was tied to a burst of low-mid level warm air advection, within the exit region of a gradually-weakening low level jet (evident at 850 millibars). At the surface, a fairly well-defined warm front blasted north across Nebraska over the course of the day. In the mid-upper levels, flow was fairly anemic over the local area as ridging prevailed aloft, downstream from a potent shortwave trough ejecting north-northeast across the Intermountain West. Mesoscale severe weather parameters in the Gosper County area around the time of the brief severe storm were relatively modest, featuring around 1000-2000 J/kg most-unstable CAPE but only 25 knots of deep-layer wind shear.
