...NWS Damage Survey for 06/01/2026 Thunderstorm Wind Event: 
First Issuance...

Early morning on Monday June 1st 2026, multiple thunderstorms
developed on the northwest side of the Kansas City Metro. These 
cells eventually congealed, and became a supercell. The supercell 
thunderstorm split, sending the leftward large hail producing 
supercell into northern Clay County MO and southern Clinton County
MO. The right split tracked across the north side of the Kansas 
City Metro, through the city of North Kansas City in southern Clay
County, and impacted portions of Kansas City Missouri in far 
northern Jackson County near downtown.

The strongest winds occurred in North Kansas City Missouri, with
several large trees knocked down, along with an 82 MPH wind gust
recorded at the downtown airport (KMKC). Although there was
rotation with the storm, there is no evidence the rotation ever
reached the ground. Therefore, all damage with this supercell was
associated with either straight line winds along the rear flank
downdraft, or downburst winds within the heavy precipitation core.  

.06/01/2026 North Kansas City and Downtown Wind Event...

Peak Wind: 82 MPH (KMKC ASOS) 1:38 AM CDT

Start Date:             06/01/2026
Start Time:             1:28 AM CDT
Start Location:         North Kansas City, MO
Start Lat/Lon:          39.165/-94.585

End Date:               06/01/2026
End Time:               1:42 AM CDT
End Location:           East of Downtown Kansas City, MO
End Lat/Lon:            39.123/-94.528

The NWS sent a survey team to North Kansas City, MO, in southern
Clay County to examine the large tree damage across the area. The
damage pattern did not show a tornadic damage pattern, but
rather, damage consistent with strong downburst winds between 75 
MPH and 82 MPH. There was also straight line wind damage along 
the rear flank downdraft surge. Note that the above start and end 
times, along with start and end locations, only represent the 
swath of winds over 75 MPH. Damaging winds under 75 MPH did occur 
further southeast as the supercell thunderstorm exited the Kansas 
City Metro, including wind damage in parts of Independence 
Missouri.
