12/26/2016 7:00 AM 0.50 0.0 M 0.0 M An unforgettable Christmas weather-wise, including thunderstorms for the second consecutive year, but this time with a separate round of damaging winds! Precipitation was a continuation from previous observation period (event total 0.53”). A few passing rain showers and drizzle mainly 7-8AM, followed by a lull. Then, between 1230-130PM, a narrow-but strong, north-south oriented thunderstorm squall line passed through, dumping the majority of daily rainfall and yielding wind gusts of roughly 50 MPH. After that, off-and-on stratiform rain lingered until around 3PM before all precip ended. HOWEVER, the worst of the day’s weather was yet to come: around 630PM, a very strong, long-lasting surge of strong-to-severe westerly winds swept in behind a passing dryline/cold front, yielding sustained 30+ MPH winds and frequent gusts of at least 40-50 MPH for roughly TWO AND A HALF HOURS before finally easing up around 9 PM. Based on two nearby personal weather stations (within half a mile), peak gusts of at least 56-63 MPH occurred around 640 PM with the initial westerly blast. Numerous shingles blown off the southwest-facing roof of the house. The 24-hour high temp at nearby HSI airport was 57 at 1254PM on the 25th.

1/17/2017 7:00 AM 0.54 0.0 M T M The 16th featured the second and final day of a two-day freezing rain event that yielded the most significant ice storm in Hastings since the much-worse event of late-Dec. 2006. Storm-total liquid at this site was 0.82" with roughly 1/3" of ice accrual on surfaces (represented by the Trace depth report). Steady freezing rain fell through roughly 4PM on the 16th with only patchy drizzle lingering into the evening before ending altogether. Although there were limited power outages in the Hastings area, two factors undoubtedly kept this ice storm from being much worse: 1) Temps on the 16th held right around 32 degrees, limiting the efficiency of ice accrual...2) Winds remained fairly tame with peak gusts only around 25 MPH and mainly lower than this.

2/24/2017 7:00 AM 0.19 0.8 M 1.0 M A somewhat complex 16 hours of wintry precipitation: First, brief passing rain/snow showers 3-5PM on the 23rd, then a steadier band of wet snow mainly 530-7PM. Following a 3+ hour lull with little-to-no precip, steady freezing drizzle took center stage mainly 12-5AM, with ice accrual of generally 0.15" on flat surfaces. Finally, between 5AM and ob-time, light snow took over as precip type and continues. Temperature-wise, the high temp since Noon on the 23rd at nearby HSI airport was around 35, marking the coldest afternoon in over 2 weeks. In fact, the 2-week stretch from Feb. 10-23 was the overall-warmest in Hastings during February in 110 years of records!
2/25/2017 7:00 AM 0.14 1.7 M 1.5 M This is a continuation of the 2-day snow event ongoing at ob-time on the 24th (storm total snowfall 2.5"/liquid 0.33"). Moderate to briefly heavy snow with considerable blowing given north winds gusting to around 40 MPH continued through the morning, peaking in intensity 730-1030AM before largely ending by Noon (first "near-blizzard" snow event in this station's brief history). Measurement of the new snow was a challenge given the strong winds, and even the total depth has its quirks because much of the original 0.8" that fell on the 23rd melted-from-below on the afternoon of the 24th in response to warm ground/limited sunshine.
2/26/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M T M Thanks to a high temperature of 42 yesterday at nearby HSI airport, the majority of snow that fell on the 23rd-24th has already melted.

3/7/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M The 6th featured the first true High Wind event since Christmas 2016. From 2-8 PM, sustained west winds at HSI airport averaged 35-45 MPH with frequent gusts around 50 MPH and a peak gust of 60 MPH at 442 PM. Given the very dry conditions of late, there was also a considerable amount of blowing dirt (locally/briefly reducing visibility below 1 mile), along with numerous grass fires across Nebraska/Kansas, including a few within 10-20 miles of Hastings itself.
3/8/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M While winds on the 7th were not as intense as the 6th, it was still rather windy out of the west-northwest especially Noon-6PM with sustained speeds near 30 MPH and frequent gusts around 40 MPH. There was even a rogue peak gust of 56 MPH at nearby HSI airport.

3/11/2017 7:00 AM 0.01 0.3 M 0.5 M Was not actually present through this minor precip event, but based on radar data and nearby obs at HSI airport, a narrow band of light snow moved through mainly 330-430 AM. The reported snow amount is an "educated estimate" based on a neighbor's report from less than one-half away.
3/12/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M With a high temp of 35 on the 11th, the light snow that fell a little over 24 hours ago had melted.
3/13/2017 7:00 AM 0.01 T M 0.0 M various minor precip "events" during the past 24 hours: 1) a brief period of snow pellets around 9AM on the 12th...2) A brief round of light rain around 730PM on the 12th (this is where the 0.01" came from)...3) A few fleeting flurries that developed early this morning and continue at ob-time.
3/14/2017 7:00 AM 0.06 1.3 M 1.0 M A fairly narrow, northwest-southeast oriented band of light snow developed overnight, resulting in a little bit more than generally expected. The first flurries began shortly before 11PM, with most falling 12-3AM before ending around 4AM. This was a light, fluffy snow with nearly a 22:1 snow-liquid ratio.
3/15/2017 7:00 AM 0.02 0.3 M 0.5 M Two more pesky/very minor snow "events" (brings the 48-hour total up to 1.6"). 1) Light snow on the 14th mainly between 10AM-Noon resulted in a "weak hundredth" of liquid and 0.1" of snow...2) Light snow/a few snow grains early this morning mainly 430-630AM yielded a "strong hundredth" of liquid and 0.2" of new snow. Snow depth note: Despite a 24-hour high temperature of only 27 degrees, much of the 1" of depth yesterday melted during the afternoon. Will go with a half-inch depth this morning, but it may actually be more of a "strong Trace".

The thunderstorms mainly occurred 10PM-Midnight, with the initial leading edge around 10PM featuring a brief blast of southerly winds gusting to around 45 MPH (much stronger/severe winds up to around 70 MPH affected nearby areas such as Grand Island).
3/25/2017 7:00 AM 0.01 0.0 M 0.0 M A gloomy, overcast 24 hours with occasional drizzle/very light rain and light fog (the cloud ceiling at nearby HSI airport was under 1,000 ft nearly the entire period).

3/30/2017 7:00 AM 0.47 0.0 M 0.0 M As a continuation of the ongoing/much-needed rain event that began during the previous 24 hours, steady light rain fell most of this period up through around 10PM on the 29th, although the majority of it concentrated Noon-6PM. After 10PM, rain transitioned to a finer drizzle before ending altogether after Midnight. Although rain amounts from this low pressure fell a little short of expectations in the Hastings area, the 2-day total of 0.82" made for a very welcomed early-spring event.

5/16/2017 7:00 AM 0.78 0.0 M 0.0 M Basically three separate, linear storm complexes passed through between 9PM-1230AM. At nearby HSI airport (3 miles NW of here), the first complex produced a peak gust of 57 MPH and the second one gusted to at least 53 MPH. No wind damage was observed at this location.
5/17/2017 6:15 AM 1.10 0.0 M 0.0 M Another period with multiple rounds of thunderstorms and even some marginally-severe winds: 1) The first, brief round moved in from the south around 7PM and brought minimal rain and wind...2) Round 2 was the most significant as a squall line raced in from the west around 1AM, producing brief heavy rain and a surge of estimated 60 MPH winds (neighbor had a large tree branch blown down)...3) The third round was a persistent area of light showers/weak thunderstorms that moved in from the south around 430AM and continued at ob-time.
5/18/2017 7:00 AM 1.16 0.0 M 0.0 M The vast majority of this rain fell between ob-time and 1PM on the 17th, from a widespread shield of steady rain and embedded, non-severe thunderstorms. There was also a brief, passing shower around 430 PM before all rain ended for the remainder of the afternoon-night, providing a much-needed break in precipitation.
5/19/2017 7:30 AM 0.99 0.0 M 0.0 M Following a roughly 26-hour break in rainfall, yet another widespread swath of steady light-to-moderate rain with a few embedded thunderstorms moved in from the south on the evening of the 18th, with the majority falling 7PM-1AM and only occasional light rain/drizzle thereafter and no rain falling at ob-time. This bring the 4-day total up to 4.03", setting a new record for the brief history of this particular CoCoRaHS station.
5/20/2017 7:30 AM 1.14 0.0 M 0.0 M One last "hurrah" of precipitation to cap off an incredibly-rainy week, falling in mainly 2 rounds: 1) A widespread swath of primarily moderate rain with a few embedded thunderstorms moved in from the south and fell mainly 3PM-7PM on the 19th...2) Following a "break" of only light rain/drizzle for several hours, another round of steadier measurable rain (albeit not non-stop) fell mainly 1-5AM on the 20th. This brings the 5-day total here up to 5.17", solidly setting a new record for the brief history of this CoCoRaHS station. More notably, according to NWS precip records for Hastings dating back 122 years to 1895, this marked the first time Hastings ever recorded at least 0.60" of rain on 5 CONSECUTIVE DAYS! While many fields and low-lying areas in the Hastings area are quite water-logged, fortunately because most of the rain was spread out so evenly over the course of several days, this likely prevented a more widespread/serious flooding situation.
