Severe weather grazed Wichita overnight and caused damage in parts of Kansas, and more storms are expected this week.

Hail up to the size of ping pong balls fell in Mount Hope at around 1 a.m. Monday, and a trained spotter said “very little rain” fell with that hail. About an hour and a half later, hail up to the size of half dollars was reported in Mount Hope.

The strongest winds measured in the Wichita area Monday morning reached 60 miles per hour near Bel Aire and the Jabara Airport. Most of the severe weather stayed north of the Wichita metro area, but larger hail fell and strong winds caused damage outside of Sedgwick County.

Trained spotters reported hail up to the size of quarters in Hutchinson in Reno County, and emergency managers got reports of up to golf ball-sized hail in Hutchinson from the public.

Winds knocked over a semi truck and injured its driver on Highway 169 in Anderson County. Also in Anderson County, a large tree fell and blocked Highway 59 near Garnett.

Up to 20 utility poles were knocked down at the Eureka Airport in Greenwood County.

21 cars of a Burlington Northern-Santa Fe freight train derailed on an overpass in Chase County early Monday.  Officials believe microburst winds from a thunderstorm could have caused the cars to go off the tracks.  No injuries were reported.    Crews were working to get cars back on the track on the overpass at Highway 177 near Matfield Green.

A flash flood watch is in effect through Wednesday evening for areas east of Wichita, with more rain expected through the rest of the week.

Severe storms have moved east out of Kansas, but more rain is expected Monday evening into Tuesday across the state. Off-and-on storms are expected Tuesday through Thursday, and severe weather will be possible east of the Turnpike.
