A powerful late Spring upper-level system moved into the Central Plains during the early afternoon of June 5th. It appeared that a major tornado outbreak would occur from Nebraska into Oklahoma. Instead storms quickly evolved into bowing line segments producing mainly high winds. Isolated very intense winds occurred along mesovortices across portions of South Central Kansas.
