Showers and thunderstorms developed along this front (generally along Interstate 70), and trained along this boundary. As the ealry morning progressed and complex of storms moved out of Northwest Kansas and moved along this boundary as well, to produce torrential rainfall across Central Kansas. So reports of flash flooding occurred, due to rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches.
