In 1952, a thunderstorm developed 15 miles northwest of Goodland, Kansas, in the early evening. This was the first storm to be detected by a radar over the Tri State area. The radar in use at the time was called a W S R 1, and had been used by the navy during World War Two. In 2002, a heat wave gripped the area as temperatures were sent well into the low and mid 90s. Every official weather station in the area broke a record high temperature, including 97 degrees at McCook Nebraska. $$
