| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A couple storms produced hail as large as golf balls, and flash flooding also occurred on this Monday. During the late afternoon and evening hours, a couple small, isolated thunderstorms developed over northern Phillips and Smith Counties. They quickly crossed the state line into Nebraska, where thunderstorms were more widespread. One such storm formed over northeastern Phillips County around 6 p.m. CST. This storm moved east-northeast into Nebraska by 7 p.m., but then turned east along the state line and expanded slightly back into northern Kansas, tracking across extreme northern Jewell County. Hail as large as golf balls occurred just after 9 p.m. CST. Around 9:30 p.m. CST, a new storm formed over western Phillips County. This storm intensified and produced quarter size hail a little after 10 p.m. CST. Other storms also developed between these two dominant cells. In addition, numerous other storms formed in an east-west orientation across Rooks, Osborne, and Mitchell Counties. Cells propagated eastward as additional storms formed in their wake. Cell training occurred between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. and resulted in flash flooding in parts of Rooks County. Widespread rainfall in excess of 2 inches occurred over the county, with 4.28 inches the highest measured amount near Plainville.||A north-northeast to south-southwest oriented quasi-stationary front extended from the eastern Dakota's through western Kansas into New Mexico. A lee-side low was near Colorado Springs. In the upper levels broad southwest flow was over much of the United States, with a ridge over the Great Lakes, and an elongated trough from Hudson Bay to central California. A weak shortwave trough was passing over the Central Plains. When the first storms initiated, late in the afternoon, temperatures were in the middle to upper 70s, with dewpoints in the lower 60s. MLCAPE was between 1500 and 2000 J/kg. Effective deep layer shear was around 45 knots. This environment was more than supportive of organized, persistent storms. |
