On the morning of Aug 2 elevated thunderstorms formed along a stalled front across Nebraska before moving south across north central Kansas. These storms were efficient rain producers given the very moist air mass that moved in behind a strong high pressure. On Aug 3 the front in Nebraska began to move south into the area, which was able to become unstable during the day before. The event was mostly strong damaging winds with a few large hail reports.
