| Episode Narrative | It seemed more like spring than Christmas Day as a vigorous, negatively-tilted upper level wave underwent intense cyclogenesis as it surged northeast from New Mexico to the Nebraska/South Dakota border. An equally intense surface cyclone that was situated over Eastern Colorado teamed with the upper cyclone to produce a truly dynamic system that contained impressive deep-layer shear. All factored in the development of severe thunderstorms over Central Kansas around midday that produced gusts around 60 mph that blew the roof off a barn in Lincoln County. There was also a small, short-lived tornado in Saline County. |
| Event Narrative | A very brief tornado which was likely a gustnado on the leading edge of a squall line produced minimal damage to a barn roof and trees. |
