As of 4:30 pm CDT, two brief tornadoes have been reported in southwest Kansas in Gray County in association with the cold core vorticity maximum. While these tornadoes are usually brief and weak as compared to tornadoes in the warm sector, they are often very photogenic. The storms that produce these tornadoes also rarely look impressive on radar, and often show very small areas of brief rotation. The image below shows the Dodge City, KS radar image at around the time of the tornado.

Looked like this turned into a fairly significant outbreak, There were at least 2 dozen reported tornados in SW Kansas.
Yes 26 preliminary reports! While that number will likely come down, it will still probably set the daily record in October in KS for the last 50+ years.
