A line of supercell thunderstorms developed along a slow moving cold front, during the afternoon and evening of May 6th, 2019 into the early morning hours of May 7th. The supercells produced large hail and some damaging winds. As the storms moved south, they began to stall over southern Kansas and produce some flash flooding.  Significant flooding started during the late night hours of May 7th, 2019 when Chanute picked up 5 to 6 inches of rainfall in only a couple hours. This caused widespread flash flooding across the city where numerous water rescues took place.
