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 8, 9:27 PM CDT, 1 hour 9 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 9:27 PM CDT, 1 hour 9 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 927 PM CDT SUN JUN 8 2008 .UPDATE... CURRENT SATELLITE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A STRONG UPPER LEVEL WAVE ENTERING COLORADO...WITH ELEVATED CONVECTION DEVELOPING OUT AHEAD OF IT OVER EASTERN COLORADO/WESTERN KANSAS. LATEST RUC ANALYSIS SHOWS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT INCREASING OVER WESTERN OKLAHOMA/TEXAS PANHANDLE REGION...AS 925/850MB PROFILERS CONTINUE TO BACK OVER THIS REGION IN RESPONSE TO THIS APPROACHING SYSTEM. 850MB FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS CURRENTLY STALLED OUT NEAR THE KANSAS/OKLAHOMA BORDER WITH RICH GULF MOISTURE IN PLACE. MODELS SHOW IMPRESSIVE MOISTURE TRANSPORT/ISENTROPIC LIFT 310-315K LAYER INTENSIFYING OVER THE TOP OF THIS BOUNDARY...THUS RESULTING IN RE- NEWED ELEVATED CONVECTION ALONG AND NORTH OF THE 850MB BOUNDARY. STRONG UPPER JET DYNAMICS FROM RIGHT REAR QUAD WILL PROLONG THE DEEP LIFT OVER THE REGION INTO MONDAY MORNING. TRAINING OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP OVER WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND MIGRATE NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN KANSAS. SOME LOCATIONS COULD WITNESS OVER 3 INCHES OF RAINFALL BY EARLY MONDAY MORNING WITH FLOODING PROBLEMS A BIG CONCERN. THE HEAVY RAINFALL TONIGHT COULD ALSO CAUSE SOME AREA RIVERS/CREEKS TO GO INTO FLOOD BY MONDAY MORNING/AFTERNOON. JAKUB && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 621 PM CDT SUN JUN 8 2008/ AVIATION... 00Z TAF UPDATE...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR MOST TAF SITES UNLESS A THUNDERSTORM ROLLS IN WITH THE SLOW SOUTHWARD SAGGING COLD FRONT. TERMINALS THAT EXPERIENCE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY COULD EXPERIENCE REDUCED VISIBILITIES AND MVFR CIGS. OTHERWISE...THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME WIDESPREAD DURING THE OVERNIGHT HRS AND AFFECT THE TERMINALS OF HUT/ICT/CNU. THE STORMS/SHOWERS SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS DURING THE MORNING HOURS. JAKUB PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 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 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
