| episode_narrative | A strong southeastward cold front produced high wind gusts ranging from 27 to 81 mph. These high winds lasted for various durations of time, ranging from six minutes to one hour and fifty minutes after frontal passage. The high winds produced blowing dust with visibilities reduced to between one mile to as low as 10 yards at times across northwest Kansas. The strong winds knocked a few power lines down in Graham County which sparked a few small fires around the county and were quickly put out. The strong winds also caused a manure fire in southern Logan County to get out of hand; however, it was contained without causing damage. The most notable fire caused with this event was a grass fire caused from the embers of a burning trash fire in Graham County, which caused town-wide evacuations of Nicodemus. No injuries or structural damage occurred. |
| event_narrative | As a strong cold front moved southeast across Norton County, dirt was lifted in the air. The blowing dust caused reduced visibilities from fifty to ten yards near the town of Norton. The Norton AWOS station has missing observations during this time and nearby stations are measuring near zero winds, so the actual wind speeds to cause the blowing dust is unknown. |
