A surface boundary draped across the region provided a focus for thunderstorm development as an upper level disturbance crossed the Central Plains.  These thunderstorms developed during the late afternoong and early evening hours, and conditions were favorable for thunderstorms to become severe.  Hail up to the size of a hen egg was reported across portions of north central Kansas, along with wind gusts estimated up to 80 mph.  A low level jet nosing into the area helped to sustain convection through midnight, after which thunderstorms moved south out of the area.
