...NWS Damage Survey for 04/18/2024 Thunderstorm Wind Event...



During the early morning hours of Thursday April 18th 2024, multiple 

rounds of thunderstorms moved through western and central and 

Missouri. One line of thunderstorms produced notable wind damage 

north of Lawson, MO. A damage survey was conducted north of Lawson 

on Friday April 19th 2024 to assess what type of event resulted in 

the damage primarily to out buildings and trees, with minor damage 

to residential roofs. After the survey was completed, preliminary 

results conclude that strong downburst winds of at least 90 MPH at 

points occurred. This is also supported by radar signatures from the 

terminal Doppler radar at Kansas City International Airport (TMCI). 

Preliminary analysis does not find sufficient evidence in the damage 

points and path that would support the occurrence of a tornado. 

Updates can made to this preliminary analysis if more reports of 

damage come in from this event.
