...NWS Damage Survey for 06/02/24 Lincoln County Thunderstorm
Wind Event ...

.Supercell thunderstorms that developed over the high plains of
Eastern Colorado and the western Panhandle of Nebraska congealed
into a line of severe storms that moved east across southwest
Nebraska and the central Sandhills. In addition to widespread
winds of 70 mph and greater, stronger winds of over 100 mph,
impacted locations just south of the city of North Platte.

.Lincoln County Damage Survey...

Peak Wind Measured : 70-105 mph
Fatalities: 0
Injuries: 0

Start Date:             06/02/2024
Start Time:             7:15 PM Central

A storm survey conducted by the National Weather Service in North
Platte revealed the widespread damage across central Lincoln
County was the result of extreme outflow winds from a bowing line
segment of storms. The peak wind speed from the survey was 105
MPH.

Traditional survey techniques including aerial imagery from the
North Platte National Weather Service uncrewed aerial system
(UAS) team revealed no cyclonic circulation along the path of
damage. Radar imagery from the event strongly suggests that
descending outflow from the severe line of storms prevented the
necessary stretching for tornadic development ahead of the line of
storms. In these situations, brief eddy and/or gustnadoes can
form, however they are not circulations that are tornadic in
nature.
