Overview
A significant severe weather event occurred across the Tri-State Region on the evening of August 11th, 2019. Widespread damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and flash flooding was reported to NWS Goodland. In addition, a few tornadoes occurred along with some large hail. This page provides a summary of those reports received from emergency management, first responders, trained spotters, local media, and the general public. We thank you for all of the information.
The event began with a couple supercell thunderstorms over Yuma County Colorado and Cheyenne County Kansas. These are the primary storms that produced the large hail and tornadoes. The event evolved with several lines of storms forming, including a large line of storms that moved across Cheyenne, Rawlins, Decatur, Norton, Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan, and Graham counties in northwest Kansas. A second line of storms produced wind damage in Cheyenne County Colorado. These storms later produced heavy rain across Wallace, Logan, and Gove counties in Northwest Kansas.
