A pair of isolated severe wind gusts, likely associated with heat burst activity, were recorded in southern Dawson County on this Thursday evening. A subtle upper level shortwave disturbance embedded in northwesterly flow moved out of Wyoming and into western Nebraska during the daytime hours. At the surface, a trough axis was draped from central North Dakota southward through the Nebraska panhandle. This surface boundary served as a focus for mid-late afternoon thunderstorm development over western Nebraska, which trekked southeast with time, following an axis of increased instability. The complex of storms pushed southeast out of the Sandhills and into South Central Nebraska during the evening hours, with activity primarily affecting northern and western portions of the local coverage area between 8:30 PM and midnight CDT.
By the time this activity moved into the area, diminishing MUCAPE values were around 1500-2000 J/kg with deeper layer shear around 30-35 knots. Though large hail was a possibility, the main severe weather threat was damaging wind gusts, with the 00Z July 22 sounding from North Platte showing a deep, well-mixed layer just off the surface. The strongest portion of this line of storms tracked into Dawson County between 8:30-9:30 PM CDT, but sub-severe gusts generally peaked only between 45-55 MPH, though one gust of 57 MPH was recorded near Cozad. As this activity continued southeastward during the late evening hours, it showed an overall weakening trend. But then, between 10:55-11:20 PM CDT, measured gusts exceeding 60 MPH were recorded on the backside of this decaying convection...including 64 MPH near Johnson Lake and 62 MPH at the Lexington Airport AWOS. Downdraft CAPE values in the area through the evening hours were between 1000-1500 J/kg. The time of day and environment were favorable for heat bursts. In this area of decaying convection between 10-11:30 PM CDT, the Lexington AWOS reflected a temperature rise from 71 to 83 F, and a drop in dewpoint from 67 to 54 F, corresponding to the development of the severe southerly winds.
