02/28/2007 REPORTS: KS / MO

[Brian Stertz]

Here a few pre-sunset pics of the multi-cell hailstorms that erupted across S.Johnson Co. KS last Wedesday. The impressive thing with those storms was the very sharp edge between the storm and totally clear skies to the north and northwest of this complex. From the way radar looked, a weak boundary had settled south of the KC Metro. As the nose of higher dew pts. surged north into EC Kansas, these storms erupted just north of the boundary. Meanwhile, later the cyclic tornadic supercell rode along this boundary (turned warm front) from EC Kansas into WC Missouri. A very impressive night of storms/supercells for late February. In Overland Park over the course of 6 hrs., I had 7 individual storms/elevated supercells drop hail at my place, and my rain guage measured 3.25" after all was said and done after midnight.
