Several rounds of severe thunderstorms developed during the early morning hours and during the afternoon and evening hours of July 1st. Within a northwest flow pattern, extreme instability developed. As a shortwave tracked southeast over the region, increasing mid to upper level winds allowed for strong shear to develop. The greatest combination of instability and shear occurred during the afternoon and evening hours when supercell thunderstorms, producing several relatively weak tornadoes occurred on the southeast side of the Kansas City Metropolitan area. Several tornadoes occurred in Lees Summit and just west-southwest of the Pleasant Hill Weather Forecast Office. The storms also produced widespread heavy rainfall and there were numerous reports of 3 to 5+ rainfall reports. This led to numerous areas of flash flooding.
