The radar

The Vance AFB radar (KVNX), 53 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 23:10 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

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 Jun 8, 2:34 PM CDT, 3 hours 35 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 2:34 PM CDT, 3 hours 35 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
234 PM CDT SUN JUN 8 2008

.DISCUSSION...

THIS EVENING-TONIGHT:
AN UPPER LEVEL PV ANOMALY /1.5PVU/ WILL CONTINUE MOVING INTO THE
CENTRAL UNITED STATES FROM THE NORTHWEST.  THIS HAS CAUSED THE WARM
FRONT FROM SATURDAY TO MOVE SOUTH INTO THE FORECAST AREA.  AT
18Z...THE FRONT EXTENDED FROM KMHK-KHUT-KP28.  SOME CUMULUS SEEM TO
BE GROWING ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AS IT SAGS SOUTH.  OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS...EXPECT CONVECTION TO BEGIN INCREASING AS LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE/FRONTOGENESIS INCREASES ALONG THE FRONT.

FAVORABLE 0-6KM BULK SHEAR OF 40 KNOTS SUGGESTS THAT STORMS COULD
ROTATE INITIALLY WITH A HAIL AND WIND THREAT.  HOWEVER...THERE IS
VERY LITTLE 3-6KM SHEAR...WHICH SUGGESTS THAT STORMS WILL EVOLVE
INTO A DAMAGING WIND PRODUCING MCS WITH VERY HEAVY RAINFALL.

THIS WILL OCCUR AS THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT INCREASES THIS
EVENING /QUITE STRONG OVERNIGHT/ AS THE FRONT BECOMES MORE
ORTHOGONAL TO THIS MOISTURE TRANSPORT...INCREASING FRONTOGENESIS AND
VERY STRONG VERTICAL MOTIONS.

WARM CLOUD LAYER DEPTHS NEAR 4KM CONTINUE TO FAVOR THIS ONCE WE
TRANSITION FROM A SEVERE CONVECTIVE THREAT TO A WARM RAIN THREAT.
MODEL QPF TOTALS FOR THIS EVENT ALL SHOW SOME TYPE OF 9 INCH
ACCUMULATION BULLSEYE OVER THE FORECAST AREA.  THE FAVORABLE AREA
FOR HEAVY RAINFALL HAS SHIFTED SOUTH A BIT

TUESDAY:
STRONG MOISTURE TRANSPORT DEVELOPS LATE TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE EXITS TO THE EAST.  THERE IS A REASONABLE
AMOUNT OF ISENTROPIC LIFT OVER THE FORECAST AREA DURING THIS
TIME...SO CANNOT RULE OUT A THUNDERSTORMS.

WEDNESDAY:
MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S AND
LOWER 70S.  LOOKS AS THOUGH THE DRYLINE ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS WILL
PUSH EAST ALONG WITH THE SURFACE LOW.  THIS IS A GREAT SETUP FOR A
FEW ISOLATED DISCREET SUPERCELLS.  THE MID LEVEL WINDS REMAIN
RELATIVELY ORTHOGONAL TO THE DRYLINE ALLOWING FOR DISCREET
SUPERCELLS TO MOVE OFF OF THE DRYLINE.  THE ECMWF HAS TRENDED IN THE
CORRECT DIRECTION IN DEVELOPING CONVECTION ALONG THE DRYLINE.
CONFIDENCE IS MODERATE FOR A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.

THURSDAY-FRIDAY:
ACTIVE PATTERN CONTINUES WITH THE NEXT STRONG PV ANOMALY MOVING INTO
THE REGION LATE THURSDAY.  THIS WILL INCREASE THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR
IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF THE FRONT.  CONFIDENCE
IS MODERATE IN THIS AND IS INCREASING GIVEN THE CONSISTENCY IN THE
MODELS IS SHOWING THIS AND THAT...RELATIVELY SPEAKING...THE
PREDICTABILITY OF THE ATMOSPHERE HAS BEEN ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME
OF YEAR.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY:
THE DRYLINE REMAINS OVER WESTERN KANSAS DURING THE PERIOD.  MID AND
UPPER LEVEL FLOW FAVORABLE FOR ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP TO MOVE
INTO THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA.  AT THIS TIME...WILL
CONTINUE WITH A SMALL CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS.

KRC

&&

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAF SUITE...COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS WILL
SLOW AS IT MOVES ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
THIS FRONT WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR STRONG/SEVERE CONVECTION EARLY THIS
EVENING. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO THEN PUSH SOUTH INTO NORTHERN
OKLAHOMA TONIGHT WITH MORE WIDESPREAD/ELEVATED CONVECTION DEVELOPING
JUST NORTH OF SURFACE FRONT...ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
KANSAS. OCCASIONAL MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS EXPECTED WITH
CONVECTION/HEAVY PRECIP OVERNIGHT AFFECTING THE KHUT/KICT AND KCNU
TAF SITES. SOME MVFR CIGS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS AND THE
KRSL-KSLN TAF SITES AS WELL...THOUGH MOST PRECIP/CONVECTION SHOULD
STAY MAINLY SOUTH OF I-70. OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTION...THE GUSTY
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL SUBSIDE AS FRONT NEARS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS.
