Severe thunderstorms occurred in some spots between highways 24 and 36 late in the afternoon on this Thursday. Throughout the morning and early afternoon, a narrow band of light rain, oriented from southwest-northeast, moved from eastern Colorado into western Kansas. Skies were sunny ahead of this rain band and by mid-afternoon, scattered thunderstorms began forming at its leading edge. Around 330 PM CST, these storms began moving into Phillips county, and they were part of a larger line of storms that formed along or ahead of the rain band from Sioux Falls, South Dakota to Garden City, Kansas. This line of storms crossed north central Kansas between 330 and 630 PM CST. After 530 PM CST, enough storms had formed along the common cold pool to result in the formation of a squall line over Jewell and Mitchell counties. Most of the severe weather occurred from a single storm that produced damaging downburst winds over central and northeast Rooks county, and one inch hail in southwest Smith county. That storm occurred prior to the formation of the squall line. Winds were measured as high as 70 MPH at the airport just south of Stockton, and nearby power lines were downed across Highway 183 resulting in its closure for a time. Power lines were also knocked down in the city of Stockton and a tree was blown down near Woodston. Elsewhere, the only other severe weather was a measured wind gust of 60 MPH in Beloit as the squall line moved through the city, but winds between 50 and 55 mph were measured in multiple locations in Mitchell and Jewell counties.
In the preceding days, an east-west oriented front had become quasi-stationary from the Ohio Valley across central Nebraska to Nevada. During the morning hours on this date, a low formed on the front near North Platte, Nebraska. This low then accelerated to near Sioux City, Iowa by mid-afternoon with its trailing cold front becoming mobile and moving southeast. The storms formed along this front. In the upper-levels, a subtropical high was over the Tennessee Valley and gradually moved into the Carolinas as a fairly strong shortwave trough moved out of the Northern Rockies into Northern and Central Plains. Immediately ahead of the front, temperatures were in the lower to middle 90s with dewpoints in the lower to middle 60s. Combined with mid-level lapse rates between 7.0 and 7.5 C/km, SBCAPE was between 1500 and 2000 J/kg. Deep layer shear was near 40 kt.
