We've talked over and over about the slow start to severe weather season, but suddenly this week, May showed its ugly side. Monday as we expected was a very busy afternoon with severe weather, but if there had been more sunshine, we probably would've had stronger storms rolling through. Wichita was definitely spared because the tornado finally lifted just before the storms moved into the city. The picture here are from Monday's storms. The hail fell in Inman, the shelf cloud was taken near McPherson at about 7 in the evening, and in the far right picture, you can see a funnel cloud that occurred near the Ness/Lane county line.
We had another big weather day on Wednesday. Big hail, strong wind, and 3 different tornadoes kept us busy through the afternoon and evening. It's safe to say now, severe weather season is well underway, but it may be another week or 10 days before the pattern supports widespread severe storms. That would bring us close to Memorial Day weekend, and it seems like every year, there are severe storms on a holiday weekend (sometimes it's 4th of July).
Have a great weekend. May is half over, can you believe it? The next few weekends will be full of graduations.
