episode_narrativeSevere thunderstorms in northwest Kansas and northeast Colorado created a significant outflow boundary with winds well in excess of 70 mph across a large stretch of northwest Kansas. In addition, a cold front was barreling south in that area. The result was the creation of a huge dust cloud similar to the ones of the dust bowl days in the 30s. Visibility in Wakeeney, Ellis, Ransom and Alexander dropped to near zero for several hours as the dust storm rolled south. It did dissipate some as it moved on into the remainder of southwest Kansas.
