Flash Flood — Greeley, NE

Jun 4, 2008

An upper level trough continued to dig over the western United States, accompanied by a weak disturbance and jet streak nosing into the Central Plains. A surface warm front draped across northern Kansas provided a focus for afternoon convection, aided by other surface boundaries across south central Nebraska from previous thunderstorms. North of this front, conditions were favorable for widespread thunderstorm development, with numerous reports of severe weather across south central Nebraska.
