| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | For western and southern portions of South Central Nebraska, the time frame from the early morning hours of Tuesday the 24th through the day on Wednesday the 25th ended up being the overall rainiest 36-hour period of the spring. This event unfolded in two distinct waves, with the heaviest accumulations focused from the evening of the 24th into the early morning hours on the 25th. For the 24-hour period ending on the morning of the 25th, widespread rainfall amounts of 2.5 to over 5 inches were reported in several counties, but especially targeting a corridor including Phelps, Buffalo, Gosper, Furnas and Harlan Counties. The highest known gauge reading of 6.36 inches originated from Loomis in western Phelps County. Other impressive 24-hour totals included 5.06 inches northwest of Oxford and 4.29 inches at Gibbon. Daily rainfall records for May 25th were set at Grand Island (1.82 inches) and Kearney (3.17 inches). Not surprisingly, both areal and river flooding became an issue for parts of the area. Several county roads in Phelps and Harlan Counties were reported under water. River flooding included the Republican, where the gauge near Guide Rock crested nearly 2 feet above flood stage on the morning of the 25th.||Despite occurring during the peak time of year for severe thunderstorms, no damaging winds, hail or tornadoes were reported within the local area. It was a somewhat close call however, as a significant severe weather outbreak pounded a corridor from central Kansas to northern Texas, including several damaging tornadoes. The primary reason that severe weather focused farther south involved the track of the parent mid level low pressure system, which moved from west to east across the central third of Kansas. This kept the primary east-west oriented surface warm front, and thus substantial low-level instability, shunted well south of South Central Nebraska. |
