Hail in Fillmore County, Nebraska

Hail up to two inches in diameter was reported along this path.

Larger-scale mid to upper-level troughing worked its way out of the Rockies and onto the Central and Northern Plains on this Friday afternoon. An accompanying surface cold front pushed southeast across the region during the daytime hours, ending up across far southeastern portions of the local forecast area by mid-late afternoon. Scattered thunderstorms developed along this frontal boundary roughly between 3-4 PM CST, having plenty of deeper layer shear to work with and MLCAPE around 1000-1500 j/kg. A few storms strengthened enough to drop large hail across portions of Thayer and Fillmore counties between 4-7 PM CST. The largest hail reported was around Bruning, which had golf ball to tennis ball size hail.
