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.

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 7, 3:38 PM CDT, 9 hours 17 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 7, 3:38 PM CDT, 9 hours 17 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
338 PM CDT MON APR 7 2008

.DISCUSSION...
THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WILL DEAL WITH POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER
CHANCES FOR TONIGHT AND NEXT ROUND OF PRECIPITATION FOR WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY.

TONIGHT:
FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDED FROM SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA INTO SOUTHERN
MISSOURI....WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER NEBRASKA. THIS RESULTED
IN EASTERLY FLOW GIVING GOOD UPSLOPE CONDITIONS OVER THE FORECAST
AREA. CURRENTLY...SCATTERED AREAS OF ELEVATED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ALREADY OCCURRING. OVERNIGHT THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
DRIFT NORTHWARD AND CONTINUE TO BE THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY. SPC HAS INCLUDED MOST OF SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
KANSAS IN A SLIGHT RISK AREA FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THE BEST
CHANCE FOR THIS TO OCCUR SHOULD BE AFTER 11:00 PM AND THE MAIN
THREAT WILL BE HAIL MAINLY EAST OF THE TURNPIKE WHERE THE LOW LEVEL
JET WILL ENHANCE THE LIFT ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. RAINFALL WILL
BE WIDESPREAD THROUGH THE AREA.

TUESDAY:
AT 12Z A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD EXTEND FROM CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...
ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS INTO WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI. THE BEST CHANCES
FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE VICINITY OF THIS BOUNDARY. ALONG
AND TO THE NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY. THE BOUNDARY WILL MOVE SLOWLY TO
THE EAST THROUGH THE DAY. CHANCES OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED TO END MAINLY
WEST OF I-135 BY NOON...THEN THROUGH SOUTHEAST KANSAS BY 2200Z.

WEDNESDAY:
COOLER BELOW CLIMO HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN STORE ON WEDNESDAY
AS SURFACE HIGH SETTLES OVER THE AREA. IT WILL BE A CHILLY START ON
WEDNESDAY WITH POSSIBLE FOG IN THE MORNING DUE TO EXPECTED MOIST
BOUNDARY LAYER AND DECOUPLED WINDS. CHANCES OF SHOWERS WILL BE
MOVING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST DURING THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE
EVENING HOURS AS THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVES IN.

THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY:
GFS MODEL HAS BEEN CONSISTENT WITH AN H5 TROF OVER THE ROCKY
MOUNTAIN REGION BY EARLY THURSDAY. AT THE SURFACE...A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM OVER EASTERN NEW MEXICO WITH A FRONTAL SYSTEM EXTENDING FROM
THE LOW...THROUGH EASTERN OKLAHOMA INTO MISSOURI. THE SURFACE LOW IS
PROGGED TO MOVE EAST INTO OKLAHOMA WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE
VICINITY OF THE I-44 CORRIDOR. GREATEST CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE CONFINED TO SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND POINTS EASTWARD...WHERE WE
COULD SEE SOME SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL BEFORE THIS SYSTEM MOVES OUT.
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA...GOOD UPSLOPE CONDITIONS WITH
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...SO RAIN SHOWERS DEFINITELY A GOOD BET.

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY:
UPPER LEVEL LOW IS PROGGED TO BE CENTERED OVER MICHIGAN SATURDAY
WITH RIDGING OVER THE WESTERN U.S. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE
WILL DOMINATE THE CENTRAL U.S. RESULTING IN PLEASANT WEATHER DURING
THIS TIME PERIOD. WILL SEE A WARMING TREND EACH DAY AS THE H5 RIDGE
MOVES EASTWARD. HIGHS ON SATURDAY SHOULD BE IN THE MID 60S WARMING
INTO THE LOWER 70S BY MONDAY.

AVIATION...18Z TAF ISSUANCE
LATEST RADAR LOOP WAS SHOWING SOME ELEVATED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS TRYING TO DEVELOP OVER SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. THIS IS
THE LEADING EDGE OF SOME MOISTURE TRANSPORT TAKING PLACE BETWEEN
300-305K. LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS WAS SHOWING LOTS OF DRY AIR
STILL IN PLACE IN THE LOW LEVELS. THIS ACTIVITY ON RADAR WILL MOST
LIKELY RESULT IN SOME VIRGA. OTHERWISE...CEILINGS SHOULD BEGIN TO
LOWER THIS EVENING AS MORE MOISTURE CONTINUES TO PUMPED UP FROM
THE GULF. BEST THUNDERSTORM CHANCES STILL APPEAR TO BE TOWARDS
MIDNIGHT WITH CEILINGS DROPPING INTO THE IFR CATEGORY AS THE
NORTHERLY FLOW KICKS IN OVERNIGHT.
