I think it's both fitting and eerie that on the 35th anniversary of one of the most insane happenings in the history of weather, that the same area is targeted again today.
Stationary fronts, like the one that night, insane 6000+ capes, and localized vorticity along stationary boundaries enhanced by slow moving cells due to lack of upper level support, are what I consider to be the more 'classic' Nebraska Tornadoes. I think Pilger, NE last year was a comparable event, with perhaps not the exact same synoptic conditions, but pretty close. I made a forecast that day for here on Stormtrack, front just hanging around, 6000 cape, bad upper level support, but low level boundaries made it happen, just like in GI. It's important for people to realize that there are multiple modes of high-probability, high threat tornadic scenarios, not just classic southern plains or deep south modes. And that our lazy stationary front can be just as active.
