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, 6:25 PM CDT, 47 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 23, 6:25 PM CDT, 47 minutes before

625 PM CDT WED MAY 23 2007

.AVIATION...
STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT MUCH OF
CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
THOUGH GENERALLY EXPECT VFR OR MVFR TO PREVAIL OUTSIDE OF
CONVECTION...A SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL FOR STRONG WINDS...HAIL
AND HEAVY RAIN WITH LOCALIZED IFR CIGS AND VSBYS THRU THE
NIGHT...EXCEPT FOR SOUTHEAST KANSAS. KHUT AND KSLN WILL

COVERAGE OF CONVECTION EXPANDING TO AFFECT KRSL...KSLN AND
KICT BY MIDNIGHT.

KED

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 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.

DARMOFAL

AVIATION...18Z TAFS RSL/SLN/HUT/ICT/CNU
ORGANIZED CONVECTION LIKELY TO AFFECT CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KS
TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT WITH WELL-DEFINED NE-SW
ORIENTED STATIONARY FRONT IN THIS REGION. SO CARRYING TEMPO GROUPS
WITH TSRA IN ALL TAF SITES EXCEPT CNU...WITH TIMING DIFFERENCES ON
WHEN THOSE TEMPOS WERE USED. MVFR CIGS QUITE PLAUSIBLE IN
ASSOCIATION WITH ANY CONVECTION...AND ALSO ACROSS A WIDESPREAD

SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS THURSDAY MORNING...ALTHOUGH THE HEAVY RAINS
WILL HAVE ENDED.

A CHANCE FOR STRONG STORMS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL SHIFT
