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 May 23, 3:10 PM CDT, 3 hours 2 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 23, 3:10 PM CDT, 3 hours 2 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
310 PM CDT WED MAY 23 2007

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CONCERNS...
POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER AND FLASH FLOODING THIS
EVENING INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING...

A VIGOROUS UPPER SHORTWAVE TROF WAS MOVING ACROSS THE FOUR
CORNERS AREA THIS AFTERNOON...AND WILL EJECT EAST ACROSS THE
CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS OVERNIGHT. A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS AND
STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR AHEAD OF THIS APPROACHING WEATHER
SYSTEM HAS SET THE STAGE FOR A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER
OUTBREAK LATER THIS EVENING...WITH HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING JUST
AS CONCERNING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

SURFACE AND BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW HAS ALREADY RECOVERED AND
RETURNED TO THE SOUTH FROM THE PANHANDLES ACROSS PORTIONS OF
SOUTHWEST KANSAS. THE NAM SEEMS TO DEPICT THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC
FEATURES THE BEST THROUGH 24 HOURS AND WAS GENERALLY FOLLOWED
ESPECIALLY FOR SURFACE FEATURES/FRONTAL MOVEMENT. THAT SAID...THE
CONVECTIVE TRENDS ARE BIT MORE TRICKY AND WILL BE MORE DEPENDENT
ON MESOSCALE INFLUENCES...THOUGH THERE IS REASONABLY HIGH
CONFIDENCE IN SOME SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER WITH HEAVY RAINFALL.
LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT WILL
CONTINUE TO PROMOTE TRAINING CONVECTIVE ECHOES ACROSS PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL KANSAS. HOWEVER A MORE SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT
IS EXPECTED TO UNFOLD THIS EVENING...WITH SUPERCELL STORMS THAT
WILL INITIATE FROM THE PANHANDLES INTO SOUTHWEST KANSAS. THERE IS
POTENTIAL FOR SOME LONGER-LIVED SUPERCELL STORMS...WHICH COULD
AFFECT PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL OR CENTRAL KANSAS BY LATE
EVENING...FUELED BY A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET...AND FOCUSED JUST
NORTHEAST OF THE ATTENDANT SURFACE CYCLONE WHICH IS PROGGED TO
MIGRATE NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT OVERNIGHT. EQUALLY CONCERNING
WILL BE THE HEAVY/TRAINING CONVECTIVE CELLS WHICH WILL REMAIN
ORIENTED NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE SURFACE BOUNDARY AS IT SLIDES
SLOWLY EAST THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE GOING FLASH FLOOD WATCH WAS
EXPANDED A BIT IN TIME AND SPACE...FOR AREAS GENERALLY WEST OF
THE KANSAS TURNPIKE THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY.

WHILE VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS WILL
REMAIN THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER RISK...THE POTENTIAL FOR A
COUPLE STRONG TORNADOES WILL REMAIN A POSSIBILITY THOUGH THE
EVENING HOURS WITH THE DISCRETE STORMS THAT DEVELOP.

AS FOR THE REST OF THE FORECAST...DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIR
WILL ADVECT IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING COLD FRONT BY LATE
THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER THIS FRONT LOOKS TO HANG UP
ACROSS THE OZARKS...BEFORE THE FRONT DECAYS AND MOISTURE COMES
BACK NORTH AGAIN ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. ANOTHER FRONT WILL
DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE PLAINS BY SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY...WITH
THE MEDIUM RANGE DEPICTING A RATHER MOIST BOUNDARY LATER AND
FRONT MEANDERING ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THUS
WILL KEEP CHANCES FOR THUNDER IN THE FORECAST.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KANSAS...
SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY SOUTH OF
A GREAT BEND TO MCPHERSON LINE AND WEST OF A MCPHERSON TO NEWTON
TO ANTHONY LINE. SUPER-CELL STORMS ARE LIKELY WITHIN THIS AREA
WHICH COULD PRODUCE VERY LARGE HAIL UP TO BASEBALL SIZE...DAMAGING
STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS TO 80 MPH...AND EVEN A STRONG TORNADO. THE
RISK WILL BE HIGHEST DURING THE EVENING...MAINLY PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT.

SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS MUCH OF THE REST OF CENTRAL
AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS TONIGHT...WITH HEAVY RAINFALL LIKELY
WHICH MAY RESULT IN FLOODING. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT
TONIGHT FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL AND CENTRAL KANSAS. RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE BY DAWN THURSDAY MORNING
IN THE WATCH AREA. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST WATCHES AND WARNINGS
FOR MORE DETAILS.

THE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER SHOULD DIMINISH AS STORMS MOVE INTO
SOUTHEAST KANSAS BY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

AREAS OF FLOODING MAY BE ONGOING ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND
SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS THURSDAY MORNING...ALTHOUGH THE HEAVY RAINS
WILL HAVE ENDED.

A CHANCE FOR STRONG STORMS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL SHIFT
INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

SLIGHT TO MODEST CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIST ACROSS MUCH
OF THE AREA OVER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
A FEW STRONG STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE...HOWEVER IT IS TOO EARLY TO
SPECULATE ON THE RISK AND MAGNITUDE OF ANY SEVERE WEATHER.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SKYWARN SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE NEEDED TONIGHT...MAINLY PRIOR
TO MIDNIGHT...FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS.
