On the afternoon of June 27, 2013 a very moist and unstable air mass moved into the area out ahead of a front advancing through KS. During the morning hours elevated convection moved through extreme NE KS, SE NE, and WN MO. During the afternoon dew points reached the mid to upper 70s and temperatures reached the 90s,  while temps in central KS reached the 100s. Outflow from previous convection stabilized the environment until late afternoon when thunderstorms developed over the center portion of our area. The storms were mostly elevated hail producers, which went on to produce wind gusts up to 70 mph over southern portions of our area later that evening.
