A sharp contrast in the air masses causes severe weather—thunderstorms and tornadoes. The contrast can be in temperature or in the amount of moisture, particularly if there is a dry line of air behind the storm system, said K-State climatologist Mary Knapp. (Courtesy photo taken near Manhattan, Kansas, by Dan Donnert.)
