Weather on this date: A look back at the 2016 Nuckolls County tornado
HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) - It was eight years ago on this very day when the 2016 severe weather season got started with large hail and a tornado over north central Kansas and South Central Nebraska. Maybe you remember that Sunday in April or 2016 when an upper level low storm system impacted the region producing a surface cold front that moved eastward across the area. The ingredients were in place allowing for storms to develop along and ahead of the front that afternoon moving east through the evening. The majority of the storms impacted Jewell and Mitchell counties in Kansas into Nuckolls and Thayer counties in Nebraska. A couple of supercells took front and center stage for this event with one producing a tornado in Nuckolls county and a second cell producing large hail in Jewell county before traveling northeast and dropping a twister in Republic county. The storm that affected Nuckolls county produced a textbook tornado that touched down near Highway 136 northwest of Superior, Nebraska and tracked southeast a few miles before lifting northwest of Superior. This radar image shows strong rotation and radar reflectivity at about the time the tornado touched down. The EF-1 rated tornado with an estimated maximum wind speed of 100 miles per hour carved a 2.8 mile path with a maximum width of 300 yards. This is a good reminder to be prepared as we head into the peak months of tornado season.
