Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThis Sunday evening featured several reports of strong to severe wind of 50-70 MPH, as a fairly compact mesoscale convective system (MCS) tracked southeast across nearly the entire six-county area. The most notable measured gusts at area airports included 66 MPH at Smith Center and 56 MPH near Stockton. Other storm reports featured estimated 70 MPH winds at Gaylord, estimated 70 MPH winds and quarter size hail near Downs, and at least one large tree downed in Osborne and Cawker City. Although rainfall amounts across most of the area averaged 1-2 inches at most, a narrow corridor extending from east-central Smith County across southwestern Jewell and northern Mitchell Counties tallied at least 2-3 inches, and even an unofficial gauge reading of 4.90 inches four miles southwest of Jewell. This resulted in localized minor flooding along the Brown Creek in southern Jewell County and near Solomon Rapids in northern Mitchell County. ||This line of storms already had a history of producing strong to severe winds as it dropped southward out of Nebraska into Phillips and Smith counties between 730-830 pm CDT. Between 830-1030 pm CDT, the line became increasingly-organized into a bowing-MCS as it charged southeast. By 11 pm CDT, the most intense storms had pushed south into central Kansas, leaving behind lingering, non-severe convection over parts of North Central Kansas through around 130 am CDT. On the synoptic scale aloft, this event occurred in seasonable quasi-zonal flow containing embedded, low-amplitude shortwave troughs, with northern Kansas displaced south of the strongest upper level flow aligned from the Dakotas to the Great Lakes. At the surface, the primary early-evening feature was a warm front bisecting the area along a line from southwest Nebraska to southeast Kansas, which put North Central Kansas in a low-level east-southeast flow regime. Early evening mesoscale severe weather parameters over the local area featured mixed layer CAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg in the presence of 0-6 kilometer deep layer wind shear of 30-40 knots.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA 24 hour rain total of 4.90 inches fell 4 miles southwest of Jewell. Most of the rain occurred between 10 pm and Midnight CDT on June 16th. This report is from an unofficial rain gauge.
