Thunderstorms moved out of northern Kansas and into southern Nebraska during the evening and overnight. These thunderstorms produced gusty winds and hail. Hail up to the size of golf balls was reported in the Riverton area. Most areas saw hail the size of quarters or less. A few areas reported strong winds. Fairfield in western Clay County got hit the worst when estimated 80 mph winds damaged a few outbuildings, trees and awnings in town. Heavy rains also accompanied the storms with several locations picking up two to three inches of rain. This caused some minor flooding. The worst flooding was in the Naponee area of Franklin County where some bridges were washed out. Many county roads were under water. The Republican River in Webster County went briefly out of it's banks, but after a few hours, it returned to normal levels.
