Warm moist air situated just to the south of an advancing warm front set the stage for supercell development across Southeast Kansas during the afternoon and evening of June 9th, 2009.  The supercell thunderstorms produced a wide variety of severe weather, including large hail up to tennis ball size, damaging wind gusts to 65 mph and even a couple of isolated tornadoes.  The two tornadoes produced little damage as they touched down in open fields.
