| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A significant weather system impacted the High Plains throughout the day on April 22nd and into the early morning hours of April 23rd. This weather system was not only a prolific wind producer, which led to many reports of high wind and wind damage, but also dust storm conditions and several large fires to occur. The largest fire occurred in northeast Decatur County, burning north into Nebraska. This fire was not extinguished until the 29th. During the afternoon and early evening hours of the 22nd, storms began to form along a dryline across northwestern Kansas and southwestern Nebraska. These storms primarily produced large hail up to baseball size, with a few instances of damaging thunderstorm winds. Later in the evening, a quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) developed over eastern Colorado, spreading east across northwest Kansas and southwest Nebraska during the overnight hours. These storms produced several tornadoes, along with thunderstorm wind gusts and thunderstorm wind damage. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A wildfire was reported south of Marienthal, KS that started due to an unknown cause. The fire was reported have covered a 8 mile by 2 mile (10,240 acre) area between County Roads R and Z. As the wildfire stayed within pastures, the only damage noted was that a cornfield was burned in the fire. No injuries were reported. A portion of Kansas Highway 96 near Marienthal, KS was closed during the fire due to smoke reducing visibility greatly. Rainfall from storms in the area helped in the firefighting efforts to put out the fire. |
