| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Very large hail and a tornado occurred over north central Kansas on this Sunday afternoon and evening. Thunderstorms had developed over western Kansas by mid-afternoon and, by 5:30 p.m. CST, they began moving into north central Kansas. The storms were mostly short line-segments of multicell storms, but there was one supercell that lifted out of Ellis County into southeastern Rooks County. This storm was producing a tornado upon entering Rooks County, but the tornado quickly dissipated after crossing into the County. This supercell cycled and did spawn another short-track EF-1 tornado just northeast of where the previous tornado ended. This storm then merged with the developing squall line which swept east across the rest of north central Kansas. Severe hail was reported in many locations across Rooks, Osborne, and Mitchell Counties, the largest of which was 2 inches over west-central Osborne County. This line of storms exited north central Kansas by 11 p.m. CST. However, new severe thunderstorms were already developing to the southwest, apparently along the outflow boundary left by the preceding storms. These storms produced hail up to the size of golf balls in multiple locations between 11:15 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. CST. Cell training occurred with these storms and, when combined with the previous line, a CoCoRaHS observer measured 3.77 inches of rain which fell in less than 12 hours.||A low pressure center was located over western Kansas. A warm front extended east from this low through northern Kansas. This front lifted north into Nebraska during the afternoon hours. These storms developed in the vicinity of this front and in the warm sector. Prior to convective initiation, temperatures were in the middle 70s with dewpoints in the middle 50s. Mid-level lapse rates were very steep, between 8 and 8.5 degrees C/km, resulting in MLCAPE between 1500 and 2000 J/kg. Effective deep layer shear was between 35 and 40 knots. In the upper-levels, split flow was over North America, with a closed low over Wyoming and Colorado. |
