KRCWhat 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 16, 6:43 AM CDT, 1 hour 46 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 6:43 AM CDT, 1 hour 46 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 643 AM CDT MON JUN 16 2008 .AVIATION...12Z TAF ISSUANCE THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS TAF ISSUANCE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING AND THE CEILING HEIGHTS. LATEST RADAR LOOP WAS SHOWING QUITE A BIT OF CONVECTION CONTINUING TO PROPAGATE THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS WITH MORE CONVECTION IN NORTHWEST KANSAS NOW STARTING TO MOVE TOWARDS CENTRAL KANSAS. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD BEGIN TO WANE AS THE MORNING WEARS ON. LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWING QUITE A BIT OF VARIABILITY IN THE CEILINGS WITH THE LOWEST OCCURRING AT GREAT BEND AND PRATT WHERE THEY ARE IN THE IFR/LIFR CATEGORY. CEILING HEIGHTS WILL BE THE MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGE TODAY SINCE WE MAY HAVE SOME AREAS OF SUBSIDENCE AROUND. WE ARE PLAYING THE CONSERVATIVE ROUTE IN THE MORNING WITH CEILINGS RANGING FROM 1500-2500FT THEN GOING WITH VFR DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. COX && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 310 AM CDT MON JUN 16 2008/ DISCUSSION... THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WILL DEAL WITH HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL FOR SOUTHEAST KANSAS TODAY...FOLLOWED BY TRACK/EVOLUTION OF POSSIBLE MESOSCALE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES FOR LATE TONIGHT AND AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. TDY-TONIGHT LATEST RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS A COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE 850MB FRONT IN CENTRAL KANSAS AS LOCAL PROFILERS SHOW DECENT CONVERGENCE INTO THAT BOUNDARY. ISENTROPIC LIFT IN THE 310-315K LAYER SHOULD CAUSE THE PRECIP ACTIVITY TO EXPAND AND MID-LEVEL WINDS WILL STEER THE ACTIVITY INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS DURING THE MORNING HOURS. WE WILL EXTEND THE FLOOD WATCH FOR SOUTHEAST KANSAS TO COVER THE POSSIBLE HEAVY RAINFALL FROM THIS MCS...AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REMAIN HIGH. OTHERWISE...LOW LEVEL EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW SHOULD CAUSE MORE STORMS TO DEVELOP OVER EASTERN COLORADO LATER TODAY. THIS ACTIVITY COULD CONGEAL INTO A MCS AND TRACK SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT ALONG THE INSTABILITY AXIS. THE MCS MIGHT CLIP PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN KANSAS TONIGHT BUT EXPECTING THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY TO AFFECT LOCATIONS SOUTH OF KANSAS. COOLER AIR WILL SPREAD SOUTHWARD ACROSS KANSAS TODAY WITH LOW CLOUDS LINGERING OVER CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. THIS WILL RESULT IN COOLER THAN NORMAL HIGHS FOR A CHANGE. TUE-WED BELOW NORMAL DAYTIME HIGHS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THIS PERIOD WITH EASTERLY FLOW. PRECIP CHANCES COULD LINGER OVER SOUTHERN KANSAS FOR TUESDAY MORNING BUT PRECIP CHANCES THEREAFTER ARE UNCERTAIN UNTIL NEXT IMPULSE ARRIVES LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. EXTENDED: THU-SUN NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME IN THE MID-UPPER LEVELS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS...WITH A FEW EMBEDDED SHORT WAVES TRACKING SOUTHEAST AND SETTING OFF ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH A MCS MATERIALIZING ACROSS NEBRASKA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND TRACKING IT SOUTHEAST INTO KANSAS ON THURSDAY. JAKUB AVIATION... LOW CLOUDS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL KANSAS TERMINALS DURING THE MORNING HOURS...AND COULD LINGER INTO THE AFTERNOON TIME FRAME. OTHERWISE A COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL SLIDE SLOWLY TO THE SOUTHEAST EARLY THIS MORNING...AND SHOULD AFFECT SLN/CNU TERMINALS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
