A substantial round of severe thunderstorms rolled through South Central Nebraska on this Friday afternoon-early evening, causing a plethora of wind damage, scattered pockets of large hail (some very large) and four confirmed, short-track tornadoes (one rated EF-0, three EF-Unknown). For being such a widespread event (the majority of the 24 counties experienced at least limited severe weather) it was fairly quick-evolving and quick-hitting, as all local storms occurred within a 4.5-hour span between 3:30-8 p.m. CDT. Convective mode was a potent, but messy mix consisting primarily of an eastward-charging quasi-linear convective system (QLCS), but also a few briefly-discrete supercells that flared up just ahead of the QLCS (and were subsequently overtaken by it), along with at least one supercell structure embedded within the southern reaches of the QLCS. Digging deeper into storm reports, and starting with the four tornadoes, the first two (both with no known damage) touched down briefly in southwestern Harlan County, spawned by the first (and most isolated) supercell of the day. A short time later, another brief tornado (also no damage reported) was spotted in south central Kearney County, associated with a supercell that initiated just ahead of the approaching QLCS. The fourth tornado, though only rated EF-0, was the most noteworthy one as it developed along the far southern fringes of the QLCS in the Ruskin-Deshler area, overturning several pivots and damaging an outbuilding along a nearly five mile path. However, by far the biggest story of the day was significant straight-line wind damage. Though sporadic pockets of damage occurred in western counties, by far the most concentrated swaths focused within the following counties: Adams, Nuckolls, Thayer and especially Clay/Fillmore. This was due to a combination of the QLCS peaking in intensity over this area, along with it containing the embedded supercell. The most notable corridor of destructive winds took aim on southeastern Clay, southwestern Fillmore and northern Thayer counties. To mention just a few storm reports from this zone: at least 250 irrigation pivots toppled; several grain bins and a few outbuildings destroyed; unofficial mesonet-measured wind gusts as high as 91 MPH near Davenport and 78 MPH near Shickley. Outside of this worst-hit area (and farther north/west): a sampling of thunderstorm wind issues included: estimated 75 MPH gusts that derailed approximately 15 train cars near Shelton, estimated winds of 65-70 MPH in the Minden and Hastings areas (downed trees in Minden and a small-but-sturdy storage shed blown from behind a home into a front yard in south Hastings); measured gusts of 64 MPH as far north as Ord and 61 MPH as far west as Bertrand. Although taking a back seat to damaging winds due to being more localized, several large hail reports came in from various counties, including some very large stones to at least tennis ball size. The majority of the largest hail occurred with the first supercell of the day in Furnas County, including up to baseball size south of Holbrook and tennis ball size in Beaver City/Hollinger. However, the outright-biggest stone of the event measured 4 inches in diameter, plunging earthward several miles southwest of Minden. On the less extreme side of things, ping pong ball to golf ball size hail fell in various locations including Kearney, Minden and Alma.
Taking a closer look at event evolution/timing, the first supercell initiated over northern Furnas County around 3:30 p.m. CDT, forming on a classic surface triple point...slightly north-northwest of strong low pressure (992 millibars) centered over north central Kansas. For a short time this storm was the only show locally, drifting slowly southeastward and dropping large hail and brief tornadoes. However, by 4:30 p.m. CDT, a north-south oriented linear system was already into Dawson/Gosper counties, driven eastward by strong convergence along an accelerating cold front. Between 5-6 p.m. CDT a few supercells/discrete multicells briefly developed over Kearney/Buffalo counties (including the one that produced the very large hail/brief tornado in Kearney County), but these storms were soon ingested by the surging QLCS. Between 6-7 p.m. CDT this complex surged across the Highway 281 corridor while a new cluster of severe convection flared up just ahead its southern edge mainly over Webster/Clay/Nuckolls counties. Finally, between 7-8 p.m. CDT, the southern portion of the QLCS (with an embedded supercell) took center stage, wreaking havoc upon the Clay/Fillmore/Thayer counties area with damaging winds before exiting the local domain into southeast Nebraska. During this same time frame, the northern portion of the QLCS (near/north of Interstate 80) prevailed weaker in nature and yielded few storm reports, but did drop quarter size hail near Shelby before exiting the coverage area. Finishing with a closer look at the meteorological situation, overall this was a prime springtime severe thunderstorm setup. In the mid-upper levels, a strong, slightly negatively-tilted shortwave trough ejected out of the Rockies and across the heart of Nebraska/northern Kansas over the course of the afternoon-evening. At the surface, the primary low pressure center drifted slowly eastward across northern Kansas, with a fairly well-defined warm front taking shape along the NE/KS border ahead of it and a sharp cold front/dryline combination surging in behind it. Despite a somewhat marginal thermodynamic environment featuring surface temperatures only in the 70s (F) and dewpoints only upper 50s-low 60s, steep mid-level lapse rates prompted healthy instability with mixed-layer CAPE peaking as high as 1500-3000 J/kg mainly along/south of the I-80 corridor. Deep-layer shear was modestly-strong (as high as 40-50 knots) and storms entered an increasingly-volatile low-level shear environment as they worked east of Highway 281, with southern portions of the QLCS encountering significant 0-1 kilometer storm relative helicity (SRH) of 200-300 m2/s2 (corresponding to the area of greatest wind damage). From a forecast perspective this was a well-anticipated event, as SPC's Day 3 Outlook (issued on the 27th) already introduced an Enhanced Risk of severe weather (level 3 of 5) for far southeast portions of South Central Nebraska. Then, on the morning of the 29th, roughly the southeast quadrant of the area was upgraded to Moderate Risk (level 4 of 5).
