| Episode Narrative | An unseasonably warm moist airmass was in place across the southern and central Plains on Thursday, October 6th, 2016. Storms developed over southeast and south central Kansas during the early afternoon hours along a weak outflow boundary. These storms produced three tornadoes over Cowley County, and with another brief tornado near Strother Field. Another very brief tornado touchdown was noted in Labette County near Bartlett. Straight line wind damage from one of the storms occurred in Allen County. Additional storms developed along a cold front that was surging east. A supercell thunderstorm developed along this feature and produced two tornadoes in eastern Saline County. In addition to the tornadoes, numerous rounds of storms resulted in very heavy rainfall across mainly southeast Kansas causing flash flooding. Several water rescues were performed along with homes being flooded in Allen County. |
| Event Narrative | The tornado moved almost due north over open country causing some damage to trees by blowing down several large trees and several large tree limbs. |
