A trained weather spotter has reported a tornado in southern Butler County, about 12 miles southwest of Leon, heading northeast.
It appears to be the first confirmed tornado touchdown in southern Kansas from the thunderstorms that have been firing up this evening. The tornado warning is in effect until 9 p.m. It does not include the city of El Dorado.
Not surprisingly, large hail has been reported between Augusta and Leon from the same thunderstorm.
