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 Apr 1, 7:40 PM CST, 3 hours 1 minute earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 1, 7:40 PM CST, 3 hours 1 minute before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 740 PM CST SAT APR 1 2006 .MESOSCALE UPDATE... MCS HAS ORGANIZED IN A NORTH TO SOUTH AXIS FROM CENTRAL THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL KS EARLY THIS EVENING. AS LOW-LEVEL JET CONTINUES TO DEVELOP/INTENSIFY THIS EVENING...LOW-LEVEL SHEAR WILL STRENGTHEN WITH 0-1 KM SRH ALREADY AT 150-200 M2/S2. OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE THAT THIS MCS WILL CONTINUE TO PROGRESS SLOWLY EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL KS THIS EVENING. FOR THE NEXT 1-3 HRS...ANTICIPATING A FEW SUPERCELL STRUCTURES AND POSSIBLE BOW ECHO CONFIGURATIONS. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...LARGE HAIL AND A TORNADO OR TWO REMAIN POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS. CARUSO .MESOSCALE UPDATE.../605 PM CST SAT APR 1 2006/ RUC MODEL CONTINUES TO SHOW BEST INSTABILITY DEVELOPING OVER SOUTH CENTRAL KS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HRS WITH CAPES OF 1200-1600 J/KG. 0-1 KM HELICITY WILL INCREASE TO 100-200 M2/S2. RUC AND SURFACE ANALYSIS DATA SUGGESTS STRONGEST LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IN THIS AREA AS WELL. THEREFORE...BEST POTENTIAL FOR A DISCRETE SUPERCELL APPEARS ALONG AND SOUTHWEST OF A LINE FROM GREAT BEND TO NEWTON TO ARKANSAS CITY OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. CARUSO .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION.../311 PM CST SAT APR 1 2006/ FORECAST CONCERNS FOR THIS PACKAGE WILL DEAL WITH SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES FOR TONIGHT...POSSIBLE WIND ADVISORY FOR CENTRAL KANSAS TOMORROW FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER CHANCE OF CONVECTION FOR MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. TONIGHT THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING RAPIDLY OVER WESTERN SECTIONS OF KANSAS SOUTHWARD INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE ALONG A DRY-LINE. WE ARE STILL EXPECTING THIS ACTIVITY TO MOVE INTO CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS BY THIS EVENING...HOWEVER LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS THE CAP WEAKENING ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS ALONG A WARM FRONT WHICH CURRENTLY STRETCHES FROM NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA THROUGH KBVO TOWARDS KWLD. THIS BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO MIGRATE NORTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN KANSAS AND WILL HAVE TO BE WATCH VERY CLOSELY AS LOW LEVEL HELICITY WILL BE ENHANCED...THUS INCREASING THE TORNADO POTENTIAL FOR ANY STORMS THAT ENCOUNTER IT. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS COULD INITIATE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY BY LATER THIS AFTERNOON. THE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO EVOLVE INTO A ORGANIZED LINE WHICH WILL RACE EAST ACROSS THE STATE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. SUN-MON CURRENT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS ANOTHER POTENT SHORT WAVE NOW MOVING OVER IDAHO WHICH WILL ROTATE THROUGH THE MAIN TROUGH AXIS ON SUNDAY. VERY COLD AIR ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS IMPULSE COULD SPARK OFF SOME INSTABILITY SHOWERS/EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS FOR SOME OF OUR NORTHEAST COUNTIES SUNDAY AFTERNOON. ALL THE PRECIP ACTIVITY SHOULD SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA BY SUNDAY EVENING. A WIND ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL KANSAS TOMORROW...AS STEEP 1000-850MB LAPSE RATES SUGGEST MIXING AT A PREMIUM ALONG WITH A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT FROM SURFACE LOW. WE WILL LET NIGHT SHIFT EVALUATE THIS FURTHER. COOLER TEMPS AND LIGHTER WINDS WILL BE ON TAP FOR MONDAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA...THUS MAKING FOR A VERY PLEASANT DAY. TUES SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT EAST INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS RETURNING THE REGION...AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD INTO OKLAHOMA. TEMPS SHOULD WARM ABOUT 5 DEGREES OR SO FROM MONDAYS HIGHS. MODELS STILL LATCHING ON TO A SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT. MODEST 850-700MB THETA E ADVECTION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS IMPULSE SUPPORTS OUR GOING CHANCES OF PRECIP. COULD SEE CHANCES BOOSTED BY LATER SHIFTS IF SIGNAL REMAINS CONSISTENT. EXTENDED: WED-SAT TEMPS WILL REMAIN WARM AND ABOVE NORMAL WITH A DECENT CHANCE OF ACTIVE WEATHER FOR WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...FOLLOWED BY A SLIGHT COOL DOWN FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. NO BIG CHANGES WERE MADE TO THIS EXTENDED PERIOD AS MEDIUM RANGE MODELS STILL SHOW VERY GOOD AGREEMENT. RICH GULF MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM NORTHWARD INTO THE REGION FOR WEDNESDAY AS UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE WEST...THUS SETTING THE STAGE FOR ANOTHER POSSIBLE EPISODE OF SEVERE WEATHER. OTHERWISE...PRECIP CHANCES SHOULD TAPER OFF FOR THURSDAY AS DRIER AIR PUSHES IN FROM THE WEST. MEANWHILE...STRONG CONFLUENT FLOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES LOOKS TO SLOW DOWN THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF UPPER LOW FOR FRIDAY...WHICH COULD RESULT IN VERTICAL STACKING OF THE SYSTEM. ONCE THE SYSTEM FILLS AND BECOMES ABSORBED BY THE CONFLUENT FLOW...SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR WILL SINK SOUTHWARD INTO KANSAS FOR FRIDAY/SATURDAY. JAKUB && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
