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 Oct 17, 3:05 PM CDT, 1 hour 43 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 17, 3:05 PM CDT, 1 hour 43 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
305 PM CDT WED OCT 17 2007

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WILL DEAL WITH AFTERNOON/EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS AND STRENGTH OF SURFACE WINDS FOR THURSDAY.

TONIGHT
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MARCH EAST
ACROSS THE AREA...WITH A FEW EMBEDDED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE.
THE MAIN CONCERN HAS NOW SHIFTED TO THE DRYLINE WHERE ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING RAPIDLY...AS FULL SUNSHINE HAS
RECHARGED THE ATMOSPHERE IN THIS AREA. AMPLE SHEAR/INSTABILITY
JUST AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE WILL ALLOW STORMS TO REACH SEVERE
LIMITS. THE STRONG/SEVERE WEATHER ACTIVITY FROM THE DRYLINE WILL
RACE EASTWARD AND AFFECT MAINLY CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL
KANSAS. THIS ACTIVITY COULD WEAKEN ONCE IT REACHES EASTERN KANSAS
AS IT ENCOUNTERS THE WORKED OVER REGION. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN RISK...HOWEVER A TORNADO OR TWO CANNOT BE
RULED OUT GIVEN MODEST LOW LEVEL HELICITY AND 0-3KM CAPE VALUES.

THU-SAT
COLDER AIR ADVECTION REGIME WILL RACE SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION ON
THURSDAY WITH INCREASING MID-LEVEL CLOUDINESS AIDING IN THE COOLING
EFFECTS. RESIDUAL MID-LEVEL MOISTURE AND ASSOCIATED VERTICAL MOTION
NEAR 700MB TROUGH AXIS PIVOTING THROUGH LOOKS TO SPARK OFF SOME RAIN
SHOWER ACTIVITY WHICH WILL SPREAD SOUTHWARD ACROSS KANSAS. THE SETUP
FOR VERY WINDY CONDITIONS WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH
CENTRAL KANSAS...HOWEVER FAVORED DEEP MIXING WILL BE PREDICATED ON
CLOUDINESS/PRECIP. THERE IS ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO ISSUE A WIND
ADVISORY FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KANSAS AT THIS JUNCTURE...AND WILL
LET NEXT SHIFT RE-EVALUATE FOR ANY POSSIBLE CHANGES. OTHERWISE...A
NICE WARMING TREND WILL BE IN STORE ACROSS KANSAS FOR FRI/SAT. SOUTH
WINDS WILL BECOME RATHER STOUT AGAIN FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS
SURFACE TROUGH AXIS DEEPENS AHEAD OF NEXT APPROACHING WAVE.

EXTENDED: SUN-WED
TIMING OF NEXT COLD FRONT IS STILL UNCERTAIN BUT MOST LIKELY TIME
FRAME WOULD BE SOMETIME ON SUNDAY AT THIS JUNCTURE. PRECIP CHANCES
FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY LOOK REASONABLE WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN
THE VICINITY...HOWEVER THE PRECIP COULD BE REMOVED FOR MONDAY IF
FRONTAL BOUNDARY SPEEDS UP SIMILAR TO THE LATEST GFS SOLUTION.
OTHERWISE...WE SHOULD SEE COOLER BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR EARLY
NEXT WEEK AS COOLER AIR FILTERS SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS.

JAKUB

.AVIATION...
THREAT OF STORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA INTO THE EARLY
EVENING. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE FOR SLN/ICT/CNU....WITH DRYLINE
ENDING THUNDERSTORM THREAT EARLY AT HUT/RSL AFTER 6PM. GUSTY SURFACE
WINDS AND VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH DRYSLOT
OVERNIGHT...HOWEVER STRATOCUMULUS SHOULD MOVE BACK INTO NORTHERN
SECTIONS JUST BEFORE DAYBREAK AT RSL/SLN AND INTO HUT/ICT AFTER
DAYBREAK. SOME RAIN SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE TOMORROW MORNING GIVEN
