SCHRECKWhat 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 10, 2:27 PM CDT, 1 hour 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 10, 2:27 PM CDT, 1 hour 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 227 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2008 .DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE STRONG WINDS TONIGHT AND OUR NEXT PRECIPITATION CHANCE ON TUESDAY. TONIGHT: CONVECTION IS ONGOING ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON...WHILE THE COLD FRONT IS JUST MOVING INTO CENTRAL KANSAS AT 18Z. THE CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO BE EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY ABOUT 00Z THIS EVENING...AND SKIES ARE GOING TO CLEAR FAIRLY QUICKLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE QUITE CHILLY ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS AS OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE 30S. FURTHER SOUTHEAST WILL BE WARMER...WITH LOWS IN THE LOW TO MIDDLE 40S. WINDS ARE GOING TO BE QUITE STRONG BEHIND THE FRONT TONIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. WE WILL BE ADDING SOME COUNTIES TO THE EAST OF THE CURRENT WIND ADVISORY AND KEEP THAT PORTION OF THE ADVISORY GOING UNTIL 12Z BEFORE THE WINDS WEAKEN. THE WINDS MAY WEAKEN A BIT EARLIER THAN THAT...BUT 12Z LOOKS LIKE THE BEST CHOICE RIGHT NOW. SUNDAY-MONDAY: SUNDAYS TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE BELOW NORMAL WITH NORTHERLY WINDS GRADUALLY BECOMING WEAKER THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN AND MAKE FOR A SUNNY DAY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. MONDAY WILL BE QUITE A BIT WARMER (MAYBE 10 DEGREES WARMER OR SO) AS WINDS SHIFT TO THE SOUTH AGAIN AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM. STILL LOOKS LIKE A FAIRLY SUNNY DAY...BUT A BIT BREEZY WITH THE SOUTHERLY WINDS. TUESDAY-FRIDAY: TUESDAY IS GOING TO BE A TRANSITION DAY IN THE UPPER PATTERN FROM ZONAL TO MUCH MORE AMPLIFIED. A SURFACE FRONT WILL COME THROUGH DURING THE DAY TUESDAY AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP NEAR THE FRONT. THE MAIN FORCING IS OFF TO THE EAST BY 06Z FRIDAY...SO WE REMOVED PRECIPITATION CHANCES AFTER 06Z FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR WEDNESDAY AT THE SURFACE...AND SHOULD KEEP THINGS DRY UNTIL FRIDAY. WITH NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO HAVE MUCH CONFIDENCE IN THE PRECIPITATION FORECAST FOR THE MIDDLE TO END OF THE WEEK. HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL DURING THIS TIME AND THE MAIN MOISTURE WILL BE PUSHED SOUTH OF THE AREA SO NO MAJOR STORMS ARE ON THE HORIZON. SCHRECK && .AVIATION... INITIAL CONCERN IS TIMING OF THUNDERSTORMS...WITH DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE IN THE VICINITY OF KICT NR ONSET OF FORECAST AND LIKELY ONGOING IN SOUTHEAST KS IN THE VICINITY OF KCNU. FRONT WILL BE NEAR KRSL AT 18Z ...AND RAPIDLY MOVE ACROSS ENTIRE AREA BY 0000 UTC. VERY GUSTY WINDS ANTICIPATED BEHIND FRONT WITH G30-40KT LIKELY AT MOST SITES.
