| Episode Narrative | During the day on Sunday, temperatures warmed to record highs across northeast Kansas before a powerful storm system moved through Sunday afternoon and evening. Several locations reported hail up to 2 inches in diameter and winds of 70-80 mph with a few reports of structural damage due to straight line winds. Thunderstorms initiated late in the day behind a sharp cold front and quickly went severe. A well formed gustnado developed along the frontal boundary and rear flank boundary intersection near Williamstown on Highway 24. NWS survey crew identified areas of enhanced wind damage from a well formed gustnado in Williamstown. Two center pivot irrigations were flipped over, a large outdoor shed was destroyed and several tree limbs were snapped. |
