COXWhat 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 Jun 5, 2:38 PM CDT, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 2:38 PM CDT, 2 hours 25 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 238 PM CDT THU JUN 5 2008 .UPDATE... MESO UPDATE...STORM HISTORY ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS HAS BEEN WIND AND HAIL. DESPITE SOME STORM SCALE ROTATION...THE LOW LEVEL SIGNATURES HAVE BEEN FAIRLY BROAD. HOWEVER...WIND PROFILES JUST AHEAD OF THIS CONVECTION WAS BECOMING A BIT MORE FAVORABLE PERHAPS FOR MORE DISCRETE SUPERCELLS AND AN INCREASED TORNADO POTENTIAL. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT AREAS MAINLY WEST OF I-135 THROUGH 22Z. KED && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 205 PM CDT THU JUN 5 2008/ DISCUSSION... THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WILL BE THE TIMING OF WHEN THE SEVERE CONVECTION WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THIS EVENING. TONIGHT: LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS WAS SHOWING THE DRY LINE STRETCHING FROM NEAR RUSSELL TO NEAR COLDWATER. THIS DRY LINE HAS REALLY TOOK OFF DURING THE LAST HOUR AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO LIGHTEN UP DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THESE STORMS TO EVOLVE INTO SUPERCELLS AND AFFECT MAINLY CENTRAL KANSAS DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. LATEST WATER VAPOR LOOP WAS SHOWING THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL ENERGY MOVING INTO THE TEXAS/OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE. AS THIS ENERGY CONTINUES TO EJECT OUT IT SHOULD ALLOW THE DRY LINE TO FIRE UP FURTHER SOUTH INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA BY AROUND 20Z. THESE STORMS SHOULD ALSO EVOLVE INTO SUPERCELLS AND POSSIBLY AFFECT SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS BETWEEN 22Z AND 00Z. IN THE MEANTIME...THE COLD FRONT/DRY LINE SHOULD ALSO FIRE UP AS THIS WAVE MOVES INTO THE AREA. LOCAL WRF SHOWS THIS OCCURRING ALONG HIGHWAY 14 SOMETIME BETWEEN 22Z AND 00Z. THEREFORE...PERSONS IN CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS SHOULD BE READY FOR A COUPLE OF ROUNDS OF SEVERE CONVECTION. THE FIRST ROUND WILL BE MOSTLY SUPERCELLS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL ALONG WITH A FEW STRONG TO VIOLENT TORNADOES. THE SECOND ROUND SHOULD BE MOSTLY DAMAGING WINDS WITH POSSIBLY SOME LARGE HAIL AS WELL. ALTHOUGH...YOU STILL CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO ALONG THE SQUALL LINE. THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE IS EXPECTED TO LIFT INTO NEBRASKA LATER THIS EVENING AND SHOULD ALLOW FOR THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW TO TURN WEST AND CAUSE THIS SQUALL LINE TO ACCELERATE EAST INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS. THE MAIN THREAT IN SOUTHEAST KANSAS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS BEFORE EXITING THE AREA BY AROUND 3 AM. HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING ALSO LOOKS LIKE A GOOD BET WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 2 TO 2.5 IN. AS A RESULT...AFTER COLLABORATING WITH A FEW OFFICES WE PLAN ON GOING WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS UNTIL 06Z AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS UNTIL 12Z. FRIDAY: MOST OF THE CONVECTION SHOULD BE EAST OF THE AREA ON FRIDAY MORNING...BUT WE COULD HAVE A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS. THEREFORE...WE WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN FOR NOW. ALTHOUGH...WE ARE NOT REAL CONFIDENT IN THIS OCCURRING DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR GOOD SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THIS SQUALL LINE. ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON...WE SHOULD SEE THE FRONT START LIFTING BACK TO THE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT. NOT SEEING ANY STRONG LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ON THIS FRONT...BUT IT MAY BE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON. FRIDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY: WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA BY FRIDAY NIGHT. THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW SHOULD REMAIN SOUTHWEST...BUT WE SHOULD BE MOSTLY CAPPED THROUGH SUNDAY. MONDAY-THURSDAY: ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL TROF MAY TRY TO MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS TROF MAY CAUSE THE FRONT TO PUSH SOUTH INTO THE FORECAST AREA AND HANG AROUND THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK. AS A RESULT...THE ACTIVE PATTERN COULD CONTINUE THROUGH NEXT WEEK. COX AVIATION... FOR THE 18Z TAF SUITE...SEVERE CONVECTION TO DEVELOP AND MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE FIRST HALF OF VALID PERIOD. OCCASIONAL MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS...MAINLY IN AND NEAR CONVECTION. STRONG SOUTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE AHEAD OF DRY LINE AND COLD FRONT THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT. KED && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
