September 7th wind and hail for south central and southeast Kansas

An afternoon of
wind and hail for the eastern half of Kansas
A
potent cold front moved southeast across the state of Kansas on Friday,
September 7th. Showers and thunderstorms began to develop along the
front early Friday morning as it pushed through southern Nebraska and
central Kansas. This front quickly moved through the state with the
surge of cold air to follow. The collision of the cold air with the
pre-existing instability helped the development of showers and
thunderstorms even after the front had passed through. These storms
produced winds of 60 to 80 mph and hail as large as golf balls.
