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 Apr 23, 8:59 AM CDT, 3 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 23, 8:59 AM CDT, 3 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 859 AM CDT WED APR 23 2008 .UPDATE... UPDATED GRIDS TO REFLECT LATEST PRECIPITATION TRENDS. AS FAR AS SEVERITY OF CONVECTION...DEALING MAINLY WITH MULTICELL CLUSTERS THAT ARE PULSING. BETTER DEEP LAYER SHEAR /35 TO 40 KNOTS WHICH WOULD FAVOR ROTATING STORMS...REMAINS WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA. STORMS THIS MORNING THE RESULT OF ISENTROPIC LIFT/LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT. ANY SEVERE STORMS SHOULD BE SHORT LIVED AND NOT ORGANIZED AT THIS TIME. KRC && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 637 AM CDT WED APR 23 2008/ UPDATE... WILL BE MAKING MINOR TWEAKS TO GOING GRIDS TO ADJUST TO OBERVATIONS/SHORT TERM TRENDS. IN THE VERY NEAR TERM THE RUC SEEMS TO BE DOING BEST WITH THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND PRECIPITATION. AFTER 1800 UTC ABOUT THERE IS CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY. THE LOCALLY RUN WRF 32KM WITH NO CONVECTIVE PARAMETERIZATION MAY HAVE BEST HANDLE ON PRECIPITATION THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. IT SHUTS PRECIPITATION DOWN THIS MORNING...THEN REDEVELOPS PRECIPITATION IN FAR EASTERN SECTIONS OF DDC FORECAST AREA AROUND 2100 UTC IN ASSOCIATION WITH RATHER IMPRESSIVE SHORTWAVE. THE BEST LIFT/CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WOULD APPEAR TO BE VERY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER CHANCES TONIGHT IN SOUTHEAST KS. BELIEVE THE OPERATIONAL NORTH AMERICAN MODEL/GLOBAL FORECAST SYSTEM MODEL IS UNDERPLAYING CONVECTIVE AVAILABLE POTENTIAL ENERGY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH VALUES CLOSER AT OR ABOVE 2000J/KILOGRAM MORE REALISTIC...WITH EVERYTHING DEPENDING ON AMOUNT OF CLOUDS COVER/HEATING THIS AFTERNOON. -HOWERTON AVIATION... ANOTHER TRICKY SET OF TAFS...WITH CONCERNS ABOUT PRECIPITATION CHANCES AT THE ONSET AND THEN THE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THIS AFTERNOON/OVERNIGHT. MODELS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE BADLY WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND RESULTANT CLOUDS. BELIEVE THREAT OF RAIN SHOWERS WILL WANE BY MIDDLE MORNING...WITH MAINLY SCATTERED CLOUDS FOR MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON. BELIEVE LOCAL VERSION OF WRF WITH NO CONVECTIVE PARAMETERIZATION HAS BEST HANDLE ON PRECIPITATION/THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WOULD SUGGEST VCTS/TSTM TEMPO GROUPS AT KRSL/KHUT BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON....AND VCTS KSLN/KICT A BIT LATER. FOR KCNU...BEST PRECIPITATION CHANCES ARE NOT EXPECTED UNTIL CLOSER TO MIDNIGHT. -HOWERTON PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 300 AM CDT WED APR 23 2008/ DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH FRIDAY. TODAY-TONIGHT: CONVECTION JUST GETTING STARTED OVER NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AT 02Z...WITH SOME CUMULUS ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS. EXPECT THAT CONVECTION WILL INCREASE OVER SOUTHERN KANSAS THIS MORNING AND THEN OVER THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE PRECIPITATION CHANCES INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY...0-6KM SHEAR REMAINS WEAK. WITH MLCAPE VALUES BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000J/KG...THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED BUT GIVEN THE WEAK SHEAR SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED. THURSDAY-FRIDAY: MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE AREA REMAINS STRONG ON THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...STILL AHEAD OF THE SURFACE LOW WHICH WILL BE OVER WESTERN KANSAS. THE BEST 0-6KM SHEAR WILL BE OVER THE AREA THURSDAY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. AT THIS TIME THERE COULD BE SOME SUPERCELLS...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 00Z AND 03Z. THERE WILL LIKELY BE SOME HEAVY RAINFALL WITH THESE STORMS...BUT WIDESPREAD FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED. 1 HOUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE FOR SOUTHEAST KANSAS ARE AROUND 2 INCHES...AND 3 HOUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IS 3 TO 4 INCHES. WHILE THE PRECIPITATION CHANCES CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY...CONFIDENCE IS ONLY MODERATE THAT WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION WILL ACTUALLY CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY. NAM/WRF KEEPS PRECIPITATION NORTH AND EAST OF KANSAS FROM THURSDAY LATE EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY...BUT MOISTURE TRANSPORT CONTINUES TO BE PRETTY STRONG DURING THAT TIME. WILL KEEP PRECIPITATION CHANCES GOING FOR NOW...BUT LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO LOOK AT THIS TIME FRAME AGAIN. SATURDAY-TUESDAY: THE GOING FORECAST LOOKS TO BE PRETTY GOOD...SO NO MAJOR CHANGES NEEDED. NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER SURFACE LOW COMES THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY EVENING WITH MORE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. SCHRECK AVIATION...06Z TAFS RSL/SLN/HUT/ICT/CNU ISOLD TSRA POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT AS 850 SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW ADVECTS MOISTURE/INSTABILITY NWD FROM OKLAHOMA. OPTED TO NOT INCLUDE TS MENTION IN TAFS GIVEN COVERAGE CONCERNS. BETTER CHANCE FOR SCATTERED TSRA COVERAGE WED PARTICULARLY PM/EVE AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROF APPROACHES FROM THE SW. DID INCLUDE VCTS FOR THIS. NOT QUITE AS CONFIDENT ABOUT IFR CIGS FORMING DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS GIVEN LATEST DEWPOINT TRENDS ESPECIALLY UP IN CENTRAL KS. ALSO...NAM HAS BACKED OFF A BIT ON LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE. NEVERTHELESS WITH EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW NORTH OF WARM FRONT IN OKLAHOMA...COULD SEE BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTEN UP ENOUGH TO EVENTUALLY FORM SOME IFR CIGS ACROSS THE AREA.
