On the evening of August 26, 2016 a line of strong storms formed in northeastern Kansas, and then moved into northwestern Missouri. Embedded within the line of storms was a supercell, which formed earlier in the evening. This supercell produced some isolated strong wind gusts, most likely associated with the RFD. It also went on to produce a weak tornado that lasted 10 minutes and traveled 4 miles. The only damage associated with this tornado was a few tree limbs and power lines.  Later in the evening storms continued to train over northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri, which brought impressive flooding to portions of the Kansas City metro area late in the evening.
