The wider storm
Strong south winds quickly increased low level moisture on Tuesday April 1st while a cold front sagged down from the north. This set the stage for severe storms to erupt during the early evening hour across central Kansas. One storm along the line quickly became a supercell and started to exhibit low level rotation. It produced a couple brief tornadoes as it approached Salina but luckily lifted before reaching the city. Numerous additional storms produced large hail along with damaging winds.
Began near Lyons (38.3400, -98.2300).
