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 May 5, 6:52 PM CDT, 19 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 5, 6:52 PM CDT, 19 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
652 PM CDT MON MAY 5 2008

.AVIATION...00Z TAF ISSUANCE
THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS TAF ISSUANCE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS MOVING THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL
KANSAS THIS EVENING. THESE STORMS ARE BEING FED BY GOOD MOISTURE
TRANSPORT ACCORDING TO THE LATEST PROFILER FROM ICT. HOWEVER...THE
BEST INSTABILITY IS STILL MAINLY ALONG THE WESTERN CORRIDOR OF THE
FORECAST AREA. THEREFORE...IT APPEARS LIKE THESE STORMS SHOULD
LOSE THEIR INTENSITY AS THEY DIVE SOUTHEAST. HOWEVER...IF THE
ELEVATED SUPERCELL IN RUSSELL COUNTY CONTINUES TO MAKE MORE OF A
SOUTHWARD PROGRESS IT MAY BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN ITSELF FOR A WHILE
LONGER. FOR NOW...WE ARE GOING TO MENTION VCTS IN ALL OF OUR TAF
SITES EXCEPT FOR CHANUTE THIS EVENING...BUT IF THE STORMS BECOME
MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS THEN WE
MAY MENTION MORE TEMPO GROUPS. THE MOISTURE TRANSPORT IS EXPECTED
TO PERSIST OVERNIGHT SO WE MAY MORE ELEVATED CONVECTION DEVELOP AS
THE NIGHT WEARS ON. MVFR CEILINGS (1-2KFT) ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP TOWARDS DAYBREAK.

COX

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 314 PM CDT MON MAY 5 2008/

DISCUSSION...

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WILL BE THUNDERSTORM/SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

TONIGHT-WEDNESDAY:
OUTFLOW/PSEUDO-WARM FRONT FROM SWRN KS INTO NWRN OK WILL BE A
TRIGGER FOR STRONG-SEVERE CONVECTION THRU THIS EVENING. SOME OF THAT
ACTIVITY COULD APPROACH OUR WESTERN-MOST COUNTIES THIS EVE WITH
BRUNT OF THAT ACTIVITY LIKELY TO REMAIN JUST TO OUR W-SW.
OTHERWISE...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTING A WEAKER SHORTWAVE (AHEAD
OF MAIN UPPER LOW OFF BAJA) OVER NEW MEXICO THIS PM...WHICH THE
MODELS CARRY NEWD ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO MIDDAY
TUESDAY. THIS WAVE WILL COMBINE WITH DECENT MOISTURE
TRANSPORT/ISENTROPIC LIFT VIA 35 KT LOW-LEVEL JET TO RESULT IN
INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/T-STORMS LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
IN OUR AREA...SHEAR/INSTABILITY MAY PROMOTE A FEW STRONG STORMS. AN
INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER/STORMS SHOULD KEEP HIGHS CONTAINED IN THE
70S AREAWIDE TUESDAY AFTER A MILD NIGHT. SHOWED A DIURNAL DECREASING
POP TREND TUES AFTERNOON BEHIND DEPARTING SHORTWAVE. THINKING SEVERE
STORMS MAY ERUPT ALONG DRYLINE OVER THE HIGH PLAINS TUES PM/EVE
WHERE DISCRETE SUPERCELLS APPEAR POSSIBLE. THE MAIN UPPER LOW WILL
EJECT OUT ACROSS OKLAHOMA/SOUTHERN KS WED INTO WED EVE. WITH A
FRONTAL SYSTEM DROPPING SWD INTO OUR AREA DURING THIS SAME TIME
FRAME...T-STORM CHANCES WILL INCREASE MARKEDLY TUES NIGHT THRU WED
NIGHT. SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE (MAINLY S-CNTRL/SERN KS)
ALONG WITH A FEW SEVERE STORMS. HOWEVER...BETTER INSTABILITY LOOKS
TO BE PROGGED IN OKLAHOMA FOR ANY HIGHER END ACTIVITY. HIGHS WED
SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN TUES GIVEN WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION/CLOUDS.

THURSDAY-MONDAY:
AN UPPER VORTEX WILL REMAIN ANCHORED OVER SOUTHEASTERN CANADA DURING
THE PERIOD WITH AN ACTIVE FLOW PATTERN OFF OF THE PACIFIC ACROSS THE
CONUS THIS WEEKEND. THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE IS THE TIMING OF
INDIVIDUAL SHORTWAVES IN THIS FLOW PATTERN WITH THE MEDIUM RANGE
MODELS SHOWING SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES. LEANED WITH HPC BLENDER
WHICH EARLY ON IS WEIGHTED TOWARD THE ECMWF AND A BLEND OF THE
ECMWF/GEM DAYS 5-7. THIS WOULD HAVE A WAVE COMING ACROSS KS THURS
NIGHT INTO FRI...WITH ANOTHER WAVE COMING THRU LATER SAT INTO SUN.
MOISTURE RETURN APPEARS SOMEWHAT MORE QUESTIONABLE THIS FAR OUT MORE
SO WITH THE 2ND WAVE. FOR NOW...WILL CARRY SOME LOW POPS (20-30%)
FOR THESE TWO WAVES. GIVEN PACIFIC NATURE OF AIRMASS...TEMPERATURES
LOOK NEAR NORMAL THROUGHOUT THIS EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD.
OVERALL...CONFIDENCE IS DECENT THAT WE WILL EXPERIENCE A CHANCE OF
T-STORMS WITH ONE OR BOTH SYSTEMS...BUT LOWER WITH REGARD TO TIMING
OF THE STORM CHANCES.
