Month: June 2021

June 25th was kind of an unexpected day for the local area. I wasn’t even planning to chase but it’s an easier decision when it ends up being a local event and you don’t have to go very far from home. The early day SPC outlooks omitted Southern Nebraska as the synoptic setup was displaced further to the south and east.

June 22nd gave a nice opportunity for a local chase, while tornado risk was low there was a warm front extending from a low over Eastern Wyoming draped across South Dakota and Nebraska that was expected to lift north throughout the day. Initiation was expected north of the front in Northeast Nebraska into Iowa.
