...Brief Landspout Tornadoes Possible...
At 1251 PM CDT, conditions are becoming favorable for the
development of landspout tornadoes along a line from Larned to
Bucklin. However, at this time it is unknown which if any storm
would produce a landspout. Any landspouts which develop are expected
to pose a limited threat.
Locations impacted include...
Larned, Kinsley, St. John, Stafford, Bucklin, Greensburg, Haviland,
Macksville, Lewis, Mullinville, Garfield, Hudson, Belpre, Seward,
Byers, Radium, Fellsburg, Wellsford, Zook, and Trousdale.
Landspout tornadoes can form with a developing thunderstorm before
rain, hail, and even thunder is observed. Landspout tornadoes are not
usually associated with a wall cloud and are often difficult to
detect with weather radar.
