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 Jun 6, 1:57 AM CDT, 18 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 1:57 AM CDT, 18 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
157 AM CDT TUE JUN 6 2006

.UPDATE...
WE ARE SENDING OUT A QUICK UPDATE TO REMOVE THE WATCH IN CENTRAL
KANSAS. LATEST RUC IS SHOWING THE MESOHIGH SITTING OVER CENTRAL
KANSAS. THEREFORE...THIS REGION DOES NOT LOOK TO FAVORABLE FOR ANY
ADDITIONAL SEVERE WEATHER. FURTHER SOUTH...A VERY INTENSE STORM
CONTINUES TO PUSH EAST THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. THIS STORM
SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN ITS STRENGTH DURING THE NEXT HOUR OR SOOF
AS GOOD INSTABILITY AND GOOD MID LEVEL CONVERGENCE CONTINUES TO
SUSTAIN THE STORM.

COX

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1147 PM CDT MON JUN 5 2006/

UPDATE...
WE ARE SENDING OUT A QUICK UPDATE ON THE EVOLUTION THIS SQUALL LINE
MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL KANSAS.

LATEST RADAR LOOP IS SHOWING A VERY WELL DEFINED FRONTAL BOUNDARY
MOVING THROUGH DODGE CITY. THIS BOUNDARY IS CAUSING SOME ELEVATED
STORMS BREAK THE CAP ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS. LAPS ELEVATED CAPES FROM
850MB ACROSS THIS REGION ARE AROUND 1500J/KG. THESE STORMS COULD
CONTINUE TO FILL IN TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST INTO CENTRAL KANSAS BY
DURING THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THESE STORMS WILL
BE WIND POTENTIAL DUE TO GOOD NORTH-NORTHWEST FLOW ABOVE 15KFT AND
THE POTENTIAL FOR DRYING IN THE LOW LEVELS BEHIND THE BOUNDARY. THE
LOW LEVEL JET IS EXPECTED TO VEER OUT AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES...SO
THE STORMS SHOULD BEGIN TO PROPAGATE MORE SOUTH INTO SOUTH CENTRAL
KANSAS DURING THE NIGHT. MEANWHILE...THE STORMS ACROSS CENTRAL
KANSAS MAY CONTINUE TO WEAKEN DUE TO MORE STABLE AIR OVER THAT
REGION.

COX

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 928 PM CDT MON JUN 5 2006/

UPDATE...
THE MAIN CONCERN TONIGHT WILL BE THE STRENGTH OF THE LINE OF STORMS
THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH CENTRAL KANSAS LATE THIS EVENING AND THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA LATER TONIGHT.

LATEST RADAR IMAGERY FROM GOODLAND AND HASTINGS ARE SHOWING A LINE
OF STORMS MOVING SOUTHEAST AROUND 40 MPH. THIS CONVECTION APPEARS TO
BE WEAKENING AS IT MOVES INTO A MORE CAPPED ENVIRONMENT...ACCORDING
TO THE DODGE CITY AND TOPEKA SOUNDINGS. THE MAIN QUESTION IS HOW
THIS COMPLEX OF STORMS WILL EVOLVE AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES. LATEST
GOODLAND VAD WIND PROFILE SHOWING 50KTS AROUND 20KFT WITH GOOD
DIRECTIONAL AND SPEED SHEAR. AS THIS COMPLEX OF STORMS CONTINUES TO
TRUCK EAST IT SHOULD CONTINUE TO ENCOUNTER A RATHER CAPPED
ENVIRONMENT. HOWEVER...THE LOW LEVEL JET IS FEEDING INTO THIS REGION
WHICH WILL HELP INCREASE THE INSTABILITY. THIS COMBINED WITH ANY
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES GENERATED FROM THE CURRENT COMPLEX MAY BE
SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO CAUSE MORE STORMS TO REGENERATE OVER CENTRAL
AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS AFTER MIDNIGHT. WILL THERE BE ENOUGH LIFT
TO BREAK THIS CAP? THAT IS THE BIG QUESTION. IF THESE STORMS DO
DEVELOP THEY COULD END UP BEING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND
PRODUCERS ESPECIALLY DUE TO GOOD CLOUD BEARING SHEAR AROUND 40 TO
50KTS. THE LOW LEVEL JET IS PROGGED TO VEER AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES
WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR THE STORMS TO PROPAGATE MORE TO THE SOUTH. STAY
TUNED TO LATER UPDATES.

COX

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 328 PM CDT MON JUN 5 2006/

DISCUSSION...

TONIGHT:

NOT AT ALL CLEAR HOW THINGS WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT. KEY PLAYERS ARE
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ROUGHLY FROM DDC-KICT AND REMNANTS OF COMPLEX OVER
NORTH CENTRAL/NE KS. VARIOUS SHORT RANGE MODELS ALL APPEAR TO BE
STRUGGLING...WITH LITTLE FAITH IN ANY OF THE SOLUTIONS. FAVORED
AREAS FOR INITIATION WOULD LIKELY BE IN SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. IN
SOUTHWEST KS QUESTION IS CAP STRENGTH...WITH DDC 1800 UTC
RADIOSONDE OBSERVATION SUGGESTING CAP MAY HOLD. HOWEVER WITH
EAST/WEST BOUNDARY AND UPSLOPE FLOW...NOT SURE INITIATION COULD BE
COMPLETELY RULED OUT. ANY STORMS IN SOUTHWEST KS COULD PLAY HAVOC
WITH NORTHERN STORM INFLOW. BELIEVE THE KEY WAS WEAK 850MB
BOUNDARY EVIDENT ON 1200 UTC RADIOSONDE OBSERVATION ANALYSIS FROM
NEAR DDC-OUN. ANTICIPATING THIS TO LIFT A BIT...AND STORMS TO
FIRE/TRACK NE OF THIS BOUNDARY...EXTRAPOLATION WOULD PUT AREA FROM
LBF-HLC-ICT AS THE MOST LIKELY TRACK OR MAYBE ROUGHLY WESTERN EDGE
OF MCS. SHADED GOING PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION UP JUST A
BIT...BUT GRADIENT LOOKED GOOD. ANTICIPATE INSTABILITY WOULD BE
BETWEEN ROUGHLY 1500- 3000 J/KG. GIVEN MODEST 850MB-700MB WINDS
AND QUESTIONABLE MOISTURE/INSTABILITY...DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A
SLAM DUNK FOR SIGNIFICANT MCS. HOWEVER...THREAT DOES JUSTIFY
CONTINUING THE THREAT LEVEL 3 IN GRAPHICAL HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK. WILL ADDRESS THIS FURTHER IN LATE AFTERNOON HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK UPDATE.

TUE-THU:

LOT ON TUE DEPENDS ON MCS LOCATION...WITH CONVECTIVE DEBRIS LIKELY
HANGING AROUND TUE AM. FRONT MIGHT BE HUNG UP ALONG OK BORDER...
ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHEAST KS...BUT THAT IS PRETTY MUCH SPECULATION.
EFFECTIVE FRONT WILL LIKELY BE MCS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. SOME THREAT
THAT PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE NEEDED ON TUE. BEYOND
THAT...BUILDING RIDGE SUGGEST TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON A SLOW
CLIMB...WITH DIMINISHING CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION.

FRI-MON:

HARD TO QUANTIFY CONFIDENCE IN FORECAST WITH US ENSEMBLE FORECASTS
STILL UNAVAILABLE. HOWEVER BOTH GLOBAL FORECAST SYSTEM MODEL/
EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR MEDIUM RANGE WEATHER FORECASTS MODEL IN
REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH UPPER RIDGE ANCHORED ACROSS THE CENTRAL
US. DISAGREEMENT IS WITH TIMING SHORTWAVE RIPPLES TOPPING RIDGE
AND ANY FRONT INCURSION INTO FORECAST AREA. CONFIDENCE IN FRONTAL
PASSAGE IS EXTREMELY LOW SO HAVE OPTED TO MAINTAIN DRY FORECAST
UNTIL TIMING IS MORE CERTAIN. WILL LIKELY HAVE TO MENTION HEAT
INDEX VALUES IN HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK WITH VALUES REACHING THE
TRIPLE DIGITS. -HOWERTON
