What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

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 May 6, 8:47 PM CDT, 2 hours 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 6, 8:47 PM CDT, 2 hours 14 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
847 PM CDT TUE MAY 6 2008

.UPDATE...

WE ARE ISSUING A QUICK UPDATE TO INCREASE POPS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
KANSAS THIS EVENING. LATEST RADAR LOOP WAS SHOWING THE MESOSCALE
CONVECTIVE SYSTEM CONTINUING TO WEAKEN AS IT PROGRESSES ITS WAY
THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. THIS COMPLEX APPEARS TO BE MOVING INTO
AN AREA OF WEAKER INSTABILITY/MARGINAL SHEAR AND WE SHOULD CONTINUE
TO SEE THIS COMPLEX OF STORMS WEAKEN AS IT MOVES EAST. LATER TONIGHT
WE WILL WATCH THE NEXT COMPLEX OF STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT
AND MOVE TOWARDS CENTRAL KANSAS AFTER MIDNIGHT. THESE STORMS MAY
ALSO REMAIN SEVERE AS IT MOVES INTO MOVES INTO BETTER INSTABILITY.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 652 PM CDT TUE MAY 6 2008/

AVIATION...00Z TAF ISSUANCE
THE MAIN CONCERN THIS EVENING WILL BE TIMING OF WHEN THE
CONVECTION WILL BE MOVE THROUGH THE TAF SITES. THE NEXT PROBLEM IS
THE TIMING OF THE FRONT.

LATEST RADAR LOOP WAS SHOWING QUITE A BIT OF CONVECTION CONTINUING
TO BUILD EAST TOWARDS THE RUSSELL TAF SITE. THIS CONVECTION MAY
ACTUALLY BUILD EAST TOWARDS SALINA AROUND 01Z. AS A RESULT...WE
WENT AHEAD AND INSERTED SOME TEMPO GROUPS FOR THAT TIMEFRAME.
LATER THIS EVENING. THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE
LATER THIS EVENING AND CAUSE MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS.
MEANWHILE...THE COLD FRONT WAS MOVING THROUGH SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA.
BASED ON EXTRAPOLATION...WE MAY SEE THIS FRONT/SQUALL LINE REACH
RUSSELL AROUND 07Z-08Z AND SALINA BETWEEN 08Z-09Z. THE CONVECTION
SHOULD CONTINUE TO PROPAGATE INTO SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
KANSAS TOWARDS DAYBREAK. CEILINGS SHOULD ALSO LOWER AGAIN INTO THE
MVFR CATEGORY (1-2KFT) AFTER 04Z WITH POSSIBLY IFR CEILINGS
DEVELOPING AFTER 08Z.

COX

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 315 PM CDT TUE MAY 6 2008/

DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CONCERNS...
CONVECTIVE/SEVERE CHANCES/TRENDS TONIGHT...THEN HEAVY RAINFALL
POTENTIAL WEDNESDAY.

FOR TONIGHT...MAIN FOCUS FOR CONVECTION TO AFFECT THE FORECAST
AREA ASSOCIATED WITH NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE TROF...WHICH WILL
SUPPORT MESO COMPLEX ACROSS NEBRASKA INTO NORTHERN KANSAS. THIS
ACTIVITY LOOKS TO AFFECT PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KANSAS TOWARD OR
AFTER MIDNIGHT. ANOTHER AREA OF CONVECTION MAY DEVELOP ACROSS
SOUTHWEST KANSAS THIS EVENING...WHERE LATEST RUC/SPC MESO PAGE
SHOWS NO CAP AND 2000 J/KG ML CAPES. OTHER PARAMETERS LOOK GOOD
TO OUR WEST THIS EVENING FOR SEVERE STORMS/SUPERCELLS WITH LARGE
HAIL. SOME OF THIS CONVECTION COULD AFFECT WESTERN PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS LATER THIS EVENING AS WELL.

MAIN UPPER LOW WILL LIFT BODILY NORTHEAST ACROSS WEST TEXAS INTO
OKLAHOMA ON WEDNESDAY. SOME CONVECTION POSSIBLE IN THE MORNING
LINGERING FROM POTENTIAL MESOSCALE COMPLEX ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS.
OTHERWISE...THE NAM/WRF/GFS ALL SUPPORT HEAVY RAINFALL SIGNAL
ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
RATHER WIDESPREAD CONVECTION WITH EMBEDDED HEAVIER RAINFALL TO
FOCUS ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF SOUTHWARD SAGGING SURFACE/LOW LEVEL
BOUNDARY WHERE ELEVATED MOISTURE WILL REMAIN COINCIDENT WITH AREA
OF MID LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND UPPER DIVERGENCE TO THE NORTH OF
EJECTING UPPER LOW. HAVE CONTEMPLATED A FLOOD WATCH FOR PORTIONS
OF SOUTH CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST KANSAS FOR WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY
EVENING...THOUGH CONSENSUS WAS TO HOLD OFF FOR NOW SINCE IT IS
MAINLY A 2ND/EARLY 3RD PERIOD EVENT...AND TIME FOR CONFIDENCE
BUILDING WITH ANOTHER MODEL RUN THIS EVENING. THE WEDNESDAY
CONVECTION AND CLOUDS EXPECTED TO KEEP DIURNAL TEMPERATURE
RECOVERY IN CHECK AND WILL STAY CLOSE TO GOING FORECAST AROUND
70F FOR MAXS.

WEATHER PATTERN LOOKS RATHER ACTIVE THRU THE END OF THE WEEK
WITH PERIODIC SHORTWAVES IN THE WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT TO
AFFECT THE AREA. THE FIRST OF SUCH FEATURES TO RIPPLE THRU ON
THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH SECOND SUCH WAVE ON FRIDAY NIGHT. CURRENT
TIMING/TRENDS WOULD SUGGEST MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY WOULD BE OF THE
OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING VARIETY...SO WILL GENERALLY KEEP DAYTIME
PERIODS OF THURSDAY AND FRIDAY DRY FOR NOW.

IN THE OUTER PERIODS...THE ECMWF AND GFS SHOW A MORE VIGOROUS
TROF TO DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS OVER THE
WEEKEND...WITH BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP PROBABLY ON SATURDAY.
RATHER MODEST CONFIDENCE AT BEST FOR NEXT MONDAY AND
TUESDAY...WITH PERHAPS SLIGHT POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER SHOT AT
CONVECTION BY TUESDAY. FOR THE OUTER PERIODS GENERALLY STAYED
CLOSE TO THE HPC GUIDANCE.

DARMOFAL

AVIATION...
18Z TAFS...CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS INCREASE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENING HOURS. CENTRAL KS SITES
WILL BE AFFECTED FIRST...WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING INTO A
LINE OF STORMS AND MOVING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT.
CEILINGS COULD DROP BELOW 1000 FEET AFTER 06Z TONIGHT.
