An intense weather system brought strong winds to parts of eastern Nebraska on Christmas Day. The initial reports received were associated with a band of showers and thunderstorms which rapidly moved across eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa on Sunday afternoon into evening. The strongest winds with this convective line occurred across Saline, Seward into Boone Counties where gusts of 60 to 64 mph were reported in addition to wind damage. More widespread damaging winds occurred behind the line of showers and thunderstorms Sunday evening. Very strong winds aloft were brought to the ground on the backside of a deep low pressure center with reports of 60-80 mph gusts and wind damage over parts northeast Nebraska.
