During the very early morning hours of Tuesday the 25th, mainly between 1:00-2:30 a.m. CDT, a fairly compact storm complex swept from west-to-east across far northern sections of South Central Nebraska, bringing damaging winds to portions of Valley and Greeley counties. Ord airport clocked a peak gust of 74 MPH, and in town there were reports of several damaged trees and a few downed power lines. A bit later and one county to the east, an NeRAIN observer in Spalding noted trees down around town. This small storm complex initiated over the far northern Nebraska Panhandle during the early evening, before steadily tracking east-southeast and eventually infiltrating the local area. This was a sneaky severe weather event, mainly given that radar signatures were not very suggestive of intense outflow winds, due in part to shallow storm cores (especially by June standards). In addition, instability was seemingly limited, with most-unstable CAPE only analyzed around 500 J/kg. However, other factors were more favorable for storm organization and sustenance, including steep mid-level lapse rates and the presence of a low amplitude disturbance embedded within fairly strong west-northwest flow aloft.

Tornado. This tornado was witnessed by spotters in the area and maximum wind speeds were estimated at 85 mph. The tornado started in a grove of trees along the North Loup River. The tornado snapped a power pole and damaged a pivot as it traveled east southeast before lifting. A widespread area of sporadic wind damage extended south and east of the tornado, including across Fort Hartsuff State Historical Park. The buildings at the fort sustained no damage, but some trees on the property were damaged. At least one badly damaged tree was planted during the fort's active tenure of 1874 to 1881.
