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 23, 3:00 PM CDT, 5 hours 59 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 23, 3:00 PM CDT, 5 hours 59 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 300 PM CDT SUN APR 23 2006 .DISCUSSION... FORECAST CONCERNS WILL BE THE CHANCES FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT AND INTO MONDAY. TONIGHT: THIS AFTERNOON HAVE BEEN KEEPING OUR EYE ON A WARM FRONT THAT IS LYING JUST OVER I-70 IN CENTRAL KANSAS...WESTWARD TO A SURFACE LOW IN WEST CENTRAL KANSAS. FROM THE LOW...A DRYLINE EXTENDED SOUTHWARD INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. THESE BOUNDARIES WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AND LOOKING AT THE VERTICAL PROFILE OF THE ATMOSPHERE...ANYTHING THAT DOES FIRE UP SHOULD BUILD RAPIDLY WITH THE MAIN THREAT BEING STRONG WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. AT THIS TIME AM THINKING WE COULD SEE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN CENTRAL KANSAS ALONG THE WARM FRONT TOWARD LATE AFTERNOON. ONCE THESE STORMS GET GOING...AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES THEY SHOULD MOVE EAST AND SOUTHEAST INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS. SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS COULD BE HIGH AND DRY UNLESS SOMETHING CAN BREAK THE CAP AND GETTING GOING ON THE DRYLINE TO THE WEST OF US THEN MOVE IN THIS EVENING. HAVE THE LOWEST POPS IN SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS BECAUSE OF THIS REASON. MONDAY: BY MONDAY MORNING THE SURFACE BOUNDARIES SHOULD HAVE MOVED SOUTH AND EAST AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. PERSONALLY THINK THIS WILL BE THE BETTER CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION IN SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS AS THE BOUNDARY MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. THE BOUNDARY WILL BE IN SOUTHEAST KANSAS DURING PEAK HEATING SO THE CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS POSSIBLE FOR THAT AREA AGAIN TOMORROW. BEHIND THE FRONT...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THESE TWO SYSTEMS WILL CRANK THE WINDS UP IN OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES IN THE AFTERNOON. TUESDAY: INTRODUCED SMALL POPS FOR SOME LINGERING SHOWERS INTO THIS TIME FRAME MAINLY FOR OUR NORTHERN AND EASTERN COUNTIES DUE TO THE BACKWASH AROUND THE SURFACE LOW. THIS WILL BE THE COOLEST DAY OF THE PERIOD WITH HIGHS IN THE 55 TO 60 DEGREE RANGE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY: WEDNESDAY IS EXPECTED TO BE A VERY NICE DAY AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE FORECAST AREA. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES...LIGHT WINDS...WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 65 TO 70 DEGREE RANGE. THURSDAY A SHORTWAVE TROF SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE UPPER PLAINS. THIS WILL PUSH THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH LEE TROFFING SETTING UP ALONG THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE AREA WHICH WILL WARM TEMPERATURES INTO THE 70S. OUR WESTERN COUNTIES COULD WARM TO AROUND 80. FRIDAY-SUNDAY: SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING ON TO THE EAST AS OUR NEXT STORM SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN U.S. BY SATURDAY MORNING MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL EXTEND FROM THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI TO A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN SOUTHWEST KANSAS. WILL THERE BE ENOUGH MOISTURE TO FUEL ANY CONVECTION ALONG THIS BOUNDARY WILL BE THE BIG QUESTION. MODELS DO INDICATE PRECIPITATION SO DID INTRODUCE SMALL CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR SATURDAY. AS THE BOUNDARY MOVES SOUTHEAST...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE BUILDING IN. DID KEEP SLIGHT CHANCES FOR SUNDAY JUST ALONG THE OKLAHOMA BORDER. ELSEWHERE SHOULD BE DRY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS. .DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY NORTH OF HIGHWAY 400. THE BETTER CHANCE OF STORMS WILL BE THIS EVENING NORTH OF HIGHWAY 56 IN CENTRAL KANSAS. THE PRIMARY THREATS WILL BE BOTH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. THERE IS ALSO SOME POTENTIAL FOR AN ISOLATED TORNADO FOR STORMS NEAR THE WARM FRONT...WHICH WILL MOST LIKELY BE NEAR OR NORTH OF I-70. STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT. THE PRIMARY RISK WILL BE MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. DAMAGING WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORMS WHICH DEVELOP INTO A LINE. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY THUNDERSTORMS MAY OCCUR AGAIN ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER IS DEPENDENT ON THE AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE THAT OCCURS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA. THIS RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER IS MAINLY EAST OF I-35...BUT IS HIGHEST IN EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON FRIDAY OR FRIDAY NIGHT. THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS FRIDAY NIGHT. IT IS TOO EARLY TO SPECULATE WHETHER ANY OF THESE STORMS WOULD BE SEVERE. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
