A surface front stalled across parts of Southern and Central Kansas during the day of August 8th. Abundant moisture pooled along the front as a mid-level disturbance moved overhead. This triggered severe storms along the front leading to hail and damaging winds. The slow movement of storms led to some isolated very heavy rainfall amounts and localized flooding.
