A few widely separated severe thunderstorms developed late Monday afternoon across central Kansas with a slow southward movement along a weak frontal boundary in an extremely unstable atmosphere. A supercell thunderstorm moved slowly south-southwest across part of Rice and northern Reno counties, producing hail up to baseball size along with a tornado which began in rural areas of southeast Rice County and moved slowly southwest into Reno County, passing just east of Nickerson. The tornado did extensive damage to hardwood trees and destroyed an un-anchored home just northeast of Nickerson where EF-3 damage (150-165 mph) was indicated. The maximum width of this tornado was estimated at 350 yards with a path length of nearly 5.3 miles.
