Thunderstorms developed in central Nebraska on the nose of a low level jet that fed unstable air into eastern Nebraska. These thunderstorms tracked east across east central Nebraska during the late night hours of June 25th and produced a narrow band of 2 to 3 inch rainfall from near David City through Omaha and Council Bluffs. The rain fell in a several hour period and produced isolated flash flooding, mainly in the Omaha area.
