On the afternoon of April 2 a warm front was lifting into southern Kansas as mid level flow switched to the southwest. Warm moist air pushed northward up and over that front where steep mid level were in place. Elevated thunderstorms began to develop in this unstable environment. Large hail the size of quarters and golf balls were common with the storms that afternoon and evening. A few storms later that night were able to generate severe damaging winds down to the surface. This is very uncommon and these winds damaged several barns, trees, and power lines over a few counties.
