The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Wichita, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Sep 13, 3:33 PM CDT, 2 hours 8 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 13, 3:33 PM CDT, 2 hours 8 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
333 PM CDT TUE SEP 13 2005

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING.

TONIGHT:
19Z SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTED A COMPLEX PATTERN WITH WEAK MESOLOW
OVER MCPHERSON COUNTY WITH A TRAILING WEAK SURFACE TROF AXIS
SOUTHWARD THROUGH EAST WICHITA TO NEAR PONCA CITY. AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY WAS DRAPED ACROSS SOUTHEAST KS AND THE FLINT HILLS. THE
COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM THE SURFACE LOW THROUGH HUTCHINSON INTO FAR
NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA. SOUTHEAST OF THE COLD FRONT AND SURFACE TROF,
CAPE VALUES ON THE ORDER OF 3,000 TO 4,000 J/KG - SO EXTREMELY
UNSTABLE. DEEP LAYER SHEAR, MOSTLY RESULTING FROM SPEED SHEAR, IS ON
THE ORDER OF 35-45 KTS INTO THIS EVENING. LIMITING FACTOR FOR SEVERE
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THUS FAR HAS BEEN WEAK CONVERGENCE. HOWEVER,
A 105 KT UPPER SPEED MAX IS NOSING OUT OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES INTO
SOUTHERN KS WITH A STRONGLY DIFFLUENT PATTERN OVER EASTERN KS INTO
THIS EVENING. THIS WILL LIKELY PROVIDE LARGE SCALE ASCENT, IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE SURFACE BOUNDARIES TO PROMOTE SCATTERED
STRONG-SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INTO THIS EVENING. MAIN THREATS EXPECTED
ARE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS, ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT
BE RULED OUT FOR ANY STORM TRAVELING ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. BY
12Z WEDNESDAY, COLD FRONT SHOULD EXTEND FROM EXTREME NORTHERN
OKLAHOMA ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEAST KS. THE GFS AND ESPECIALLY NAM,
SHOW ISENTROPIC LIFT DEVELOPING OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL KS LATE
TONIGHT, SO ALSO CARRYING LOW POPS WELL NORTH OF FRONT IN CENTRAL KS.

WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY:
850 FRONT WILL REMAIN STALLED NEAR THE KS/OK BORDER. CHANCES OF
SHOWERS/T-STORMS WILL CONTINUE OVER SOUTHERN KS WEDNESDAY. CLOUDS,
PRECIPITATION, AND EASTERLY WINDS WILL KEEP HIGHS DOWN IN LOWER 70S,
SO IT SHOULD FEEL MUCH COOLER. NEXT SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE WILL
LIFT OUT ACROSS KS/OK WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. NAM AND GFS
SHOW COUPLED UPPER JET STRUCTURE ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA INTO
SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. SO WOULD EXPECT HEAVY
RAINFALL POTENTIAL JUST SOUTHEAST OF SOUTHEAST KS. THIS COULD CHANGE
WITH LATER MODEL RUNS, SO WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH. NEVETHELESS, HIGH
CHANCE POPS FOR SOUTHEAST KS LOOK WARRANTED.

THURSDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY NIGHT:
WARM AIR ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC LIFT PATTERN WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE
KANSAS REGION AHEAD OF AN UPPER TROF DIGGING INTO THE GREAT BASIN.
STRONGEST MOISTURE TRANSPORT/ISENTROPIC LIFT SIGNAL IS FOR FRIDAY
NIGHT PER 12Z GFS. THEREFORE CURRENT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS LOOK GOOD
FOR FRIDAY NIGHT WITH ELEVATED CONVECTION POSSIBLE.

SATURDAY-TUESDAY:
UPPER TROF OVER THE SOUTHWEST WILL LIFT OUT ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL PLAINS LATE SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. THE 12Z GFS AND
00Z ECMWF HAVE THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT PUSHING SOUTHWARD AND
STALLING IN CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL KS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. THIS
LOOKS TO BE THE NEXT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN OUR AREA. THESE
MODELS THEN SHOW ANOTHER UPPER TROF DIGGING INTO THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES FROM SOUTHWEST CANADA BY 00Z TUESDAY. THIS MAY ALLOW THE
FRONT TO TEMPORARILY LIFT NORTHWARD ON TUESDAY, BEFORE THE FRONT
COMES BACK DOWN INTO OUR AREA PERHAPS TUESDAY NIGHT. THAT WILL BE
SOMETHING TO WATCH FOR IN LATER MODEL RUNS. THERMAL PATTERN AND
SOUTHERLY FLOW FAVORS ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES OVER THE WEEKEND
AHEAD OF THE STALLING COLD FRONT, AND WILL THEN MAINTAIN NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES MONDAY-TUESDAY.
