With some strong tornadoes coming from the same cold front in Nebraska and Iowa, the Kansas portion of the storm had a threat of becoming a strong squall line. Around 3:30 the dry line and cold front began initiation to the west of Wichita. Movement went very slowly, by 5:00 I was out NE of Wichita and waiting until about 6:30 before it moved in. The storm pulled quite a lot of rain cooled air into the inflow and somewhat limited the squall lines development. It did go briefly severe, with some smaller hail threat. These dynamics gave rise to a couple discrete supercells that dumped rain and caused an impressive amount of lightning in the Wichita area. |
