A large storm system moved into the central United States, bringing several rounds of severe thunderstorms to the region.  Warm and moist air streamed northward out of the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday ahead of this system.  Strong thunderstorms quickly developed by mid-day and raced eastward across eastern Kansas and much of Missouri. Large hail up to the size of golf balls, damaging straight-line winds in excess of 60 mph, a brief tornado near Odessa, Missouri, and torrential rainfall moved through the area by mid-afternoon.
However, due to the speed and quick eastward progression of activity across the region Sunday afternoon, the atmosphere was able to recover to produce another round of severe thunderstorms across portions of eastern Kansas and western Missouri.  A second tornado occurred in the region near Ft. Scott, Kansas.  The formation and dissipation of the second tornado near Hume, MO was captured on live television by a Kansas City news station.  Minimal damage occurred as a result of the tornadoes, however isolated EF-2 damage occurred with the storm in east central Kansas. EF-0 damage was noted with the tornado near Odessa.
