On the morning of Aug 15 storms were ongoing along a stalled front across Nebraska. The remnant outflow boundary from that convection moved southward across north central Kansas. Surface heating south of the boundary allowed the air mass to become unstable and increased the potential for severe wind gusts. Storms reformed during the afternoon along the outflow in central Kansas causing high winds up to almost 70 mph and flash flooding.
