Rare February tornadoes in eastern Nebraska

A rare set up for thunderstorms and severe weather occured across the Central Plains region on Tuesday, February 28th, as an intense low pressure system emerged from the central Rockies and crossed the Central Plains.

Strong to severe thunderstorms developed along frontal boundaries (dry line and cold front) by mid-afternoon and the storms persisted into the early-evening hours.

Although strong straight-line winds and small hail were the primary features with these storms, two EF0, rare February tornadoes were confirmed: one in Jewell County, KS and another in Greeley County, NE.
