The wider storm
An intense supercell thunderstorm initially developed near Sidney in Cheyenne County early in the afternoon on 6/21, producing up to baseball sized hail in and around Sidney, as well as a brief tornado near the community of Lorenzo between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM MDT. This initial activity generally drifted to the west-southwest, and eventually to the northwest due to weak steering winds aloft. Numerous additional thunderstorms developed through the afternoon and evening, with multiple clusters of strong to marginally severe storms with occasional reports of up to quarter sized hail and 60 MPH wind gusts across the western Nebraska Panhandle.
Began near Agate (42.5168, -103.9079).
