Numerous strong to severe thunderstorms affected portions of central and east-central Kansas from the late afternoon hours on the 20th through the early morning hours on the 21st. The thunderstorms developed along and north of a warm front extending west to east across Kansas. Damaging winds up to 80 mph and hail to the size of ping pong balls occurred, along with pockets of very heavy rainfall. The locally heavy rainfall did produce some localized minor flooding of typical flood-prone and poor drainage areas across portions of Barton county.
