The wider storm

A line of severe storms rapidly developed along an advancing cold front across central Kansas during the evening hours of June 13. At the same time, a left-moving supercell developed in Sumner County and quickly moved northeastward into the Flint Hills. Storms eventually merged and became a large complex of strong to severe storms that moved through south-central and southeast Kansas during the nighttime hours. These storms produced up to 85 mph winds and up to softball size hail.
