Additional thunderstorms developed during the afternoon and evening hours within an extremely unstable air mass. As an upper level wave moved southeast from the Northern Plains, thunderstorms erupted over eastern Kansas and quickly transitioned into a convective complex that tracked through the southern portions of the Pleasant Hill forecast area
