| Episode Narrative | Supercell thunderstorms developed along a warm frontal boundary that was draped from near Concordia, Kansas to near Emporia, Kansas. Storms that developed moved northeast and as they encountered the warm front they were able to exhibit low level rotation and 2 brief weak tornadoes were confirmed during the evening. Otherwise, sporadic thunderstorm wind damage and large hail reports were more common. |
| Event Narrative | Several storm chasers reported a very brief tornado in an open field. The tornado may have only been in contact with the ground for a few seconds. No damage was reported. |
