| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Although severe weather in the form of hail or damaging winds was not an issue, thunderstorms, some producing flooding rains, were widespread across South Central Nebraska between the evening of Monday the 29th and pre-dawn hours of Tuesday the 30th. By far the heaviest rainfall targeted southern counties, generally between the Highway 6 corridor and the Kansas border, with amounts of 1.50 to 2.50 inches common. A narrow zone tallied even higher amounts of at least 3-4 inches, including parts of Harlan, Franklin, Webster and far southern Adams Counties. A few of the highest measured 24-hour totals included 3.90 inches near Bladen, and 3.80 inches near Republican City. An unofficial report indicated that 6 inches fell north of Macon in Franklin County. As a result, northern and eastern portions of Franklin County bore the brunt of localized flooding issues. These issues included water overflowing a small portion of Highway 10 near Macon, causing a car to go in the ditch, and also the flooding of Thompson Creek. The gauge along the Thompson Creek at Riverton crested several inches above flood stage around 9 AM on the 30th, with water gradually receding through the day. ||The majority of heavy rain during this event fell between midnight and 5 AM CDT, corresponding to a period of enhanced warm air advection and moisture transport focused into the area along the nose of a 30 knot low level jet evident at 850 millibars. Although weak mid-level lapse rates likely precluded a severe weather threat, the atmosphere was primed for heavy rain with precipitable water values averaging around 2 inches. In the mid-levels, the main forcing mechanism was a modest shortwave passing through quasi-zonal flow. |
