| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Although expectations were not high for significant severe weather in South Central Nebraska on this late Sunday afternoon and early evening, a small but intense cluster of severe storms morphed into a bow echo, producing a narrow, concentrated zone of wind damage across several southeast counties. The most intense corridor of winds estimated in the 60-70 MPH range first developed just south of Hastings around 520 PM CDT. During the next 90 minutes, damaging winds accelerated southeast through several communities including Fairfield, Deweese, Deshler, Hebron and Gilead, before exiting the area into southeast Nebraska and northeast Kansas by 730 PM CDT. Most of the multiple reports of damage involved trees and power lines, including a large tree that crushed the front end of a sport utility vehicle at Fairfield in Clay County. In addition to the widespread wind damage, this storm complex dumped torrential rainfall of at least 1-2 inches in a short time. The highest-known gauge readings of 3.18 to 3.50 inches occurred just southwest of Hastings, during the early, slower-moving stages of the complex. ||This severe-storm complex gradually evolved from a cluster of fairly disorganized multicellular storms that blossomed during the early to mid-afternoon hours near the Interstate 80 corridor between Dawson and Hamilton Counties. With time, these storms started propagating southeast along a common outflow, merging with vigorous new storm development over Adams County between 4 and 5 PM CDT. Once this occurred, a well-established cold pool took shape, and the storm cluster accelerated southeast, assuming the shape of a small bow echo in Thayer County. These severe storms were primarily ignited by the presence of a very moist and unstable airmass, characterized by surface dewpoints in the low-mid 70s and surface-based CAPE values of 4000-5000 J/kg. Synoptic-scale forcing was very minimal, with only a subtle disturbance passing through the region in quasi-zonal flow aloft. Deep-layer vertical wind shear was quite weak, only 20-30 knots at best, due to the upper air pattern featuring ridging across the southern two-thirds of the nation. The high levels of low-level moisture were focused by light easterly surface flow to the north of a somewhat diffuse surface front stretched across northern Kansas into northwest Missouri. |
