A Mini Bowing Thunderstorm Line

Storm Reports as of 10:35 Sunday
A cluster of thunderstorms which started in Kansas Saturday evening, crossed into Missouri and left a swath of wind damage!
The bowing refers to the shape of the mini line of storms as it advances. This is shown clearly in the embedded loop of radar from early Sunday morning (below).
This line produced scattered wind damage reports from southern Crawford County in Kansas into Dade and eventually Greene County. There were lots of reports of small limbs down and outdoor objects such as potted plants “displaced”. The Springfield National Weather Service reported a wind gust to 51 ph at 2:10 am. There were likely some severe wind gusts (59 mph or higher ) with this storm line. Several minor power outages were reported with this storm line as well.
