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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
1210 PM CDT SUN OCT 14 2007

.UPDATE...
A BIT MORE SURFACE HEATING THAN EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH
CENTRAL KANSAS WILL INCREASE RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. MAIN UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN ACROSS COLORADO WITH
UPPER SPEED MAX PROGGED TO EJECT ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS DURING
PEAK HEATING AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING. MODERATE INSTABILITY AND
STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR SHOULD SUPPORT SEVERE STORMS ALONG AND
AHEAD OF SURFACE FRONT BY MID-AFTERNOON...CONTINUING INTO THE
EARLY EVENING. THOUGH CONVECTION SHOULD BECOME MAINLY LINEAR...A
FEW ISOLATED SUPERCELL STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE EARLY ON. HAVE
CONTINUED SEVERE RISK THEME IN HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK...WITH
HAIL/WIND THREAT AND CAVEAT FOR BRIEF TORNADO.

SOME ADJUSTMENT TO MAX TEMPERATURES TO ACCOUNT FOR MORE SUNSHINE
FOR AREAS ALONG/EAST OF TURNPIKE.

KED

&&

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAF SUITE...STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION IS EXPECTED BY
MID-AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING...ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH
CENTRAL KANSAS. MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...EXCEPT
FOR SOME MVFR CIGS ALONG/JUST BEHIND COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE TOWARD 00Z.
GUSTY SOUTH WINDS ESPECIALLY FOR KICT AND KCNU THIS AFTERNOON WITH
WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS THIS EVENING.

BETTER CHANCE FOR LOWER CIGS/MAINLY MVFR CATEGORY LATER TONIGHT INTO
MONDAY MORNING ACROSS THE AREA...BEHIND SURFACE COLD FRONT.

KED

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 546 AM CDT SUN OCT 14 2007/

UPDATE...

AVIATION...12Z TAFS RSL/SLN/HUT/ICT/CNU
ONGOING SCATTERED TS IN CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL KS WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE THIS MORNING AIDED BY STRONG 850 MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND
STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENT PATTERN. WILL COVER WITH TEMPO TS
GROUPS. OTHER STRONG-SEVERE CONVECTION SHOULD DEVELOP BY MID PM IN
CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL KS ALONG COLD FRONT/DRYLINE BOUNDARIES AND
FOR NOW WILL CARRY VCTS AND FINESSE IN LATER TAFS WITH TEMPO TS GROUPS
AS NEEDED. CONVECTION SHOULD BECOME WIDESPREAD EAST OF THE KS
TURNPIKE TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH SEVERITY SHOULD DIMINISH. WIDESPREAD
MVFR CIGS (ALREADY EVIDENT OVER NW KS) ANTICIPATED TO MOVE IN FROM
W TO E BEHIND COLD FRONT TONIGHT INTO THE MORNING HOURS MONDAY.

JMC

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 304 AM CDT SUN OCT 14 2007/

DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND TEMPERATURES
THROUGH MONDAY.

TODAY-TONIGHT:
ELEVATED CONVECTION HAS BEEN ONGOING OVERNIGHT...AND WILL CONTINUE
INTO THE MORNING HOURS TODAY AS THE 300MB JET PROVIDES STRONG
DIVERGENCE ALOFT OVER KANSAS. THE BULK OF THESE STORMS SHOULD BE
WEST OF THE KANSAS TURNPIKE. DURING THE AFTERNOON...STORM INITIATION
SHOULD BE ALONG THE DRYLINE AND WARM FRONT WHERE THE BEST
CONVERGENCE IS...ALONG WITH 50-60KT OF SHEAR AND 1000-1500 J/KG OF
MLCAPE. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS
ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. IF ANY OF THE
STORMS CAN REMAIN DISCRETE SUPERCELLS...IT IS POSSIBLE TO SEE A
TORNADO OR TWO. THE INSTABILITY WEAKENS QUITE A BIT DURING THE
EVENING HOURS...SO THE MAIN THREAT FOR SOUTHEAST KANSAS BECOMES
HEAVY RAINFALL RATHER THAN HAIL OR STRONG WINDS.

TEMPERATURES TODAY ARE A CHALLENGE. IT WILL DEPEND A LOT ON HOW MUCH
SUNSHINE ANY ONE LOCATION SEES...AS WELL AS WHERE THE PRECIPITATION
IS. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME LOCATIONS IN THE LOW
80S...BUT SOME COULD STAY IN THE LOWER 70S AS WELL.

MONDAY-MONDAY NIGHT:
BOTH THE GFS AND NAM/WRF HAVE TRENDED QUICKER WITH THE
RAINFALL...AND SHOW SUBSIDENCE ACROSS THE AREA BY MONDAY EVENING.
THEREFORE WE HAVE REMOVED CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION FOR MONDAY
NIGHT. THERE WILL STILL BE SOME STRATUS AROUND AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
WILL TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO EXIT THE FORECAST AREA.

TEMPERATURES WILL AGAIN BE A CHALLENGE. IF SOME LOCATIONS DO SEE
MORE SUN THAN EXPECTED...TEMPERATURES WOULD BE QUITE A FEW DEGREES
WARMER THAN FORECAST. THIS CAN BE FINE-TUNED WITH THE NEXT COUPLE
FORECASTS.

TUESDAY-SATURDAY:
A SEASONABLE DAY FOR TUESDAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS IN CONTROL.
THEN MOISTURE RETURNS BY TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE POSSIBLE AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH
MOVES THROUGH THE MIDWEST. MODELS HAVE COME INTO MORE AGREEMENT ON
THIS FEATURE...SO WE INCREASED PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR TUESDAY
NIGHT FOR CENTRAL KANSAS AND THE REST OF THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY.

THE GFS AND ECMWF DIVERGE AS THIS SYSTEM DEPARTS TO THE EAST. BY
SUNDAY...THE GFS SHOWS ZONAL FLOW THROUGH MUCH OF THE US...WHILE THE
ECMWF INDICATES A FAIRLY POTENT TROUGH MOVING INTO WESTERN KANSAS.
WILL KEEP FORECAST AS IS FOR THIS TIME FRAME GIVEN LOW CONFIDENCE.

SCHRECK

AVIATION...
CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO FESTER MUCH OF THE NIGHT ACROSS THE
NORTHWESTERN HALF TO NORTHERN THIRD OF KANSAS...ALONG AND TO THE
NORTH OF A WARM FRONT LIFTING VERY SLOWLY TO THE NORTH...COUPLED
WITH A STRONG LOW-LEVEL JET AND INCREASING LARGE SCALE ASCENT
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH. HENCE VCTS/VCSH AT RSL
AND SLN MOST OF THE NIGHT...ALTHOUGH THINKING MAJORITY OF ACTIVITY
WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THOSE SITES. MORE ISOLATED ACTIVITY MAY BE
POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS SOUTH-CENTRAL/CENTRAL
KS WEST OF THE FLINT HILLS...AS MOISTURE TRANSPORT/ADVECTION
INCREASES AS THE LOW-LEVEL JET VEERS. MVFR/LOW VFR CIGS
ANTICIPATED FROM MID SUNDAY MORNING ON...WITH LLWS MOST LOCATIONS
TONIGHT DUE TO STRONG LOW-LEVEL JET. STRONG COLD FRONT AND
ASSOCIATED UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE STILL ANTICIPATED TO SWING
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA LATE SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...PROMPTING MORE
THUNDERSTORMS.
