gabel23 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Lincoln got clobbered as well. There's a report of 87 mph just nw of town, plus several wind damage reports.Yes they did, reports of 80-95 mph winds around Lincoln and at the NWS office in Valley. I captured the approaching shelf cloud coming into my town, thank goodness wind and hail wasn't that bad. I was able to capture blowing dust with the approaching gust front; that was pretty sweet! Got nickel sized hail in town and about .50" of rain, thank goodness the wind wasn't as bad as Tuesday night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaycee Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hands down, the best severe weather outbreak I've seen in Nebraska. I'm still on cloud 9 about it, it was truly amazing seeing such a powerful line of storms come through Omaha and Lincoln. To potentially add to the already awesome week, SPC has strong wording for Wednesday over the same areas. Here's the discussion from Omaha: Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to developWednesday afternoon as instability increased to 4000+ J/kg. Thestorms should become more widespread with the h85 low level jet at30 to 35 kts in the afternoon increasing to 50-60 kt Wednesdaynight. Severe weather appears a good bet with all modes of severeweather possible. Locally heavy rain will also be expected withthe thunderstorms. Details in the frontal and surface low trackwill need to be worked out as they vary from northern Iowa tosouthern MN as being a little more enhanced related to the surfacelow track. Highs Wednesday should be in the 90s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potatoes, cucumbers, onions, green beans and pepper plants look great! We have been getting excellent and timely rains all summer, hopefully it continues! Your right, there is nothing better than watching a night time summer storm, I love how you can see the gust front roll through and feel that rain cooled air rush through! It's awesome! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
