May 23, 1999
Summary of events for May 23 1999:A nocturnal "bow echo" MCS moved south out of Kansas early on the morning of May 23. As with most bow echoes, strong winds were the primary threat with this system, though there was some marginally severe hail with the most intense thunderstorms in the leading line of storms. This line of storms gradually weakened as it moved southward and had mostly dropped below severe limits by the time it moved south of I-40.
