Pieces of upper energy moving through the flow resulted in a period of moderate to heavy lake effect snow from the evening of Thursday, January 21st through the morning of Friday, January 22nd, 2021. Snowfall amounts between 6 and 12 inches fell across portions of Northern Herkimer and Hamilton counties.

March brought a return to warmer weather with an active spring-like pattern. There were a couple rounds of heavier rain, somewhere within the Mississippi basin, regionally that contributed to additional river flooding. Monthly precipitation was above normal at most locations, as much as 150 to 200 percent above normal in the lower Missouri and mid Mississippi Valleys.

Flooding occurred along the Mississippi River during the latter half of the month. The river crested at 37.83 feet on the 22nd, which is several feet above the 32-foot flood stage. This required the closure of a couple flood gates in the Cape Girardeau flood wall. Floodwaters backed up a few tributary creeks and small rivers, causing considerable flooding of fields well away from the mainstem river. The river remained above flood stage going into April.

Abnormally warm temperatures were present across the region leading up to this event with highs in the mid 50s. The warm air near the surface set the stage for a wintry mix followed by heavy wet snow by the evening hours. Additionally, a surface low was deepening as it encroached on the Northland, bringing gusty winds with the Duluth airport reporting a gust of 55 mph just before midnight. The combination of wet, heavy snow clumping to trees and the enhanced winds lead to several downed trees and power outages throughout the area. Snowfall totals were highest across the Arrowhead, ranging from 6 to 11 inches.

Hail up to 1.5 inches in diameter was reported southeast of Winona.
During the late afternoon and evening of Sunday the 4th, scattered, high-based showers and a few thunderstorms affected portions of South Central Nebraska. While the vast majority of this activity was sub-severe, several instances of gusty winds peaking mainly 50-56 MPH transpired under the primary convective cluster as it tracked east-northeast within a 20-30 mile wide corridor roughly centered along a line from Beaver City-Minden-Hastings/Grand Island-Central City. The one known exception to the prevailing sub-severe nature of these winds occurred at Hastings Municipal Airport, where the ASOS clocked a rogue gust of 63 MPH (there were no damage reports). Other slightly sub-severe gusts (all from unofficial mesonet sensors) included: 56 MPH at Hildreth and near Oxford, 55 MPH near Stamford, Odessa and Heartwell; and 54 MPH seven miles west of Macon.
This was a classic early-spring setup for high-based convection with gusty winds. The 4th was the first truly unseasonably-warm day of the season as temperatures soared into the upper-80s to around 90 degrees (F). Meanwhile, low-level moisture was scant, with late afternoon/early evening dewpoints mainly mid-30s to low 40s F (yielding significant dewpoint depressions of 40-50 F) . In the mid-upper levels, broad and fairly weak zonal flow resided over the Central Plains. However, as a fairly subtle disturbance emerged off the High Plains late in the day, weak convergence near a surface low along western portions of the Nebraska/Kansas border helped ignite convection near the extreme southwestern fringes of South Central Nebraska as early as 3-4 p.m. CDT. Despite the notable dewpoint depressions, very steep low-mid level lapse rates in the hot, well-mixed environment yielded mixed-layer CAPE up to around 500 J/kg, but in the presence of only modest deep-layer wind shear around 25-30 knots. Despite the seemingly-unimpressive instability/shear environment, the very high-based convection (LCL heights around 3 km) had as much as 1000-1500 J/kg downdraft CAPE at its disposal...clearly sufficient for a number of strong (isolated marginally-severe) gusts. Timing-wise, the main cluster tracked through the Furnas/Gosper/Harlan counties area between 4-6 p.m. CDT, reached the Highway 281 corridor between Grand Island and Hastings by around 7 p.m. CDT, and finally started losing its punch in the eastern Merrick/Polk counties area between 8-9 p.m. CDT.

Low pressure over the midwestern United States brought a warm front across the region February 28th. Warm advection precipitation, enhanced by upslope flow and favorable upper jet dynamics, lead to an inch or two of rainfall in western portions of our forecast area. This, along with partial melting of snowpack in the mountains, lead to some isolated flooding across eastern western portions of our forecast area that continued into March 1st. River flooding continued over the next day or two.

Other fire departments which responded to the wildfire were from Goodwell, Texhoma, Yarbrough, and Hough along with units from Morton County Kansas. The wildfire started about 1434CST and consumed five hundred and sixty acres in a very short time. The cause of the wildfire was determined to have been from an incendiary device. There were no reports of injuries or fatalities and there were also no reports of any homes or other structures damaged, threatened, or destroyed. The wildfire was contained roughly around 1800CST.

Persistent thunderstorms with heavy rain rates led to heavy rainfall and serious flooding in Osborne County during the early morning hours of May 16th. Highest rainfall totals included 8.16 from 1 WNW Codell, mainly between 1-4 AM CDT, 4.19 from 1 S Plainville, 4.11 from 13 SW of Tipton. The axis of heaviest rainfall occurred at the head of and alongside the Paradise Creek, which ultimately led to serious flash flooding of Natoma, Kansas in extreme SW Osborne County. The mayor stated that approximately 120 homes had moderate to severe damage, with another 15 likely a total loss. Approximately 22 businesses had water damage. Many people were displaced and had to be rescued from their homes. Comparisons were made to the flash flood event in 1993.
The upper level pattern consisted of diffluent and active zonal to southwest flow, with strong divergence noted in the right entrance region of 90kt 300mb jet streak running from the northern Plains into the Ohio River Valley. A strong 35-45kt low level jet developed during the late evening of the 15th and continued into the early morning hours of the 16th, with strong convergence noted on the nose of the low level jet over central and northern Kansas. The strong low level convergence, coupled with the strong upper level divergence promoted deep lift through the atmospheric column, amidst precipitable water values that peaked near 1.5���, which caused heavy rain rates. In addition, thunderstorms trained over the Paradise Creek basin particularly frequently, further promoting heavy rainfall amounts.
