During the late morning of June 16, 2017, a line of supercells started forming across eastern Colorado, far eastern New Mexico, southeast Wyoming and southwest Nebraska. A supercell storm in western Kansas produced the first tornado at 12:41 PM CDT. The supercells continued producing tornadoes for the next eight hours before gradually consolidating into a MCS that brought widespread damaging wind gusts and additional tornadoes to areas farther east overnight. After the initial line of storms passed through, a weaker secondary line of storms formed behind it and produced about a dozen more tornadoes, some of which struck places that had already been impacted by the first wave of storms. This second wave quickly fizzled out after sunset. One particularly unusual supercell dropped seven torna

  • During the late morning of June 16, 2017, a line of supercells started forming across eastern Colorado, far eastern New Mexico, southeast Wyoming and southwest Nebraska. A supercell storm in western Kansas produced the first tornado at 12:41 PM CDT. The supercells continued producing tornadoes for the next eight hours before gradually consolidating into a MCS that brought widespread damaging wind gusts and additional tornadoes to areas farther east overnight. After the initial line of storms passed through, a weaker secondary line of storms formed behind it and produced about a dozen more tornadoes, some of which struck places that had already been impacted by the first wave of storms. This second wave quickly fizzled out after sunset. One particularly unusual supercell dropped seven tornadoes over the course of two hours as it moved slowly southwest across Morgan, Weld and Adams counties in North Central Colorado. The outbreak was forecast well in advance by the SPC, which outlined a Day 8 15% severe risk area in its June 9 Day 4-8 Severe Weather Outlook. This risk area initially included south central Kansas and northern Oklahoma, and was expanded into neighboring states over the following days. For the June 12 Day 4-8 Severe Weather Outlook, a Day 5 30% severe risk area was added over Kansas, and the SPC noted that a tornado outbreak was possible. On June 14, a Day 3 enhanced risk was issued for Kansas and Oklahoma, and was upgraded to a moderate risk for parts of Kansas the next day. This risk area was maintained and expanded the morning of June 16. As the storms began to develop, the 1630 UTC Day 1 outlook included a high risk for part of central Kansas, with a 30% hatched tornado risk and a 45% hatched large hail risk in effect. Numerous tornadoes were expected, and strong, long-tracked tornadoes were likely, along with very large hail. The high risk, along with the 30% hatched tornado risk, was expanded south into Oklahoma for the 2000 UTC outlook, with about two dozen tornadoes having touched down already.
