Two separate thunderstorm events produced a little severe weather and flash flooding on this Friday. The first episode was associated with a couple supercells that formed near McCook, Nebraska the prior evening. These storms evolved into a small multicell cluster that was joined by a few other storms as it moved southeast across north-central Kansas between midnight at 3 a.m. CST. This small cluster was mostly sub-severe, producing penny size hail and measured winds of 50-55 mph in a few spots.
