| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Although thunderstorms were rather numerous across the six-county area for several hours on this Thursday afternoon and evening, the vast majority of this activity remained sub-severe. However, one storm briefly became severe over Rooks County shortly before 6 PM CDT, resulting in a report of estimated 60 MPH winds and nickel size hail near Stockton. For most of the area this round of storms ended up being nothing more than a very beneficial rain event, with widespread coverage of at least 0.75 to 1.50 inches. There were even localized pockets of much heavier rainfall, including 3.43 inches reported by a CoCoRaHS observer 10 miles west-northwest of Stockton. Scattered to numerous strong multicell storms first started developing across North Central Kansas between 430 PM and 530 PM CDT, eventually coalescing into a larger mass of showers and weak storms that lingered over parts of the area until around midnight CDT. In the mid and upper levels, flow was quasi-zonal and fairly weak, but did contain embedded subtle shortwave troughs. At the surface, the initial storms flared up in the vicinity of a rather well-defined trough axis extending northeastward from southwest Kansas, and also on the warm side of a differential heating boundary separating mostly sunny skies across most of Kansas from widespread cloud cover over southern Nebraska. Around the time of the severe storm in Rooks County, the mesoscale environment featured at least 1000-1500 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE, but no more than 30 knots of 0-6 kilometer wind shear. |
