Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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 tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Jun 5, 2:38 PM CDT, 3 hours 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 2:38 PM CDT, 3 hours 24 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
238 PM CDT THU JUN 5 2008

.UPDATE...
MESO UPDATE...STORM HISTORY ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS HAS BEEN
WIND AND HAIL. DESPITE SOME STORM SCALE ROTATION...THE LOW
LEVEL SIGNATURES HAVE BEEN FAIRLY BROAD. HOWEVER...WIND
PROFILES JUST AHEAD OF THIS CONVECTION WAS BECOMING A BIT
MORE FAVORABLE PERHAPS FOR MORE DISCRETE SUPERCELLS AND
AN INCREASED TORNADO POTENTIAL. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO
AFFECT AREAS MAINLY WEST OF I-135 THROUGH 22Z.

KED

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 205 PM CDT THU JUN 5 2008/

DISCUSSION...

THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WILL BE THE TIMING OF
WHEN THE SEVERE CONVECTION WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THIS EVENING.

TONIGHT:
LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS WAS SHOWING THE DRY LINE STRETCHING FROM
NEAR RUSSELL TO NEAR COLDWATER. THIS DRY LINE HAS REALLY TOOK OFF
DURING THE LAST HOUR AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO LIGHTEN UP DURING THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THESE STORMS TO EVOLVE
INTO SUPERCELLS AND AFFECT MAINLY CENTRAL KANSAS DURING THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS. LATEST WATER VAPOR LOOP WAS SHOWING THE MAIN UPPER
LEVEL ENERGY MOVING INTO THE TEXAS/OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE. AS THIS
ENERGY CONTINUES TO EJECT OUT IT SHOULD ALLOW THE DRY LINE TO FIRE
UP FURTHER SOUTH INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA BY AROUND 20Z. THESE STORMS
SHOULD ALSO EVOLVE INTO SUPERCELLS AND POSSIBLY AFFECT SOUTH CENTRAL
KANSAS BETWEEN 22Z AND 00Z. IN THE MEANTIME...THE COLD FRONT/DRY
LINE SHOULD ALSO FIRE UP AS THIS WAVE MOVES INTO THE AREA. LOCAL WRF
SHOWS THIS OCCURRING ALONG HIGHWAY 14 SOMETIME BETWEEN 22Z AND 00Z.
THEREFORE...PERSONS IN CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS SHOULD BE
READY FOR A COUPLE OF ROUNDS OF SEVERE CONVECTION. THE FIRST ROUND
WILL BE MOSTLY SUPERCELLS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL ALONG WITH A
FEW STRONG TO VIOLENT TORNADOES.  THE SECOND ROUND SHOULD BE MOSTLY
DAMAGING WINDS WITH POSSIBLY SOME LARGE HAIL AS WELL. ALTHOUGH...YOU
STILL CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO ALONG THE SQUALL LINE.

THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE IS EXPECTED TO LIFT INTO NEBRASKA LATER THIS
EVENING AND SHOULD ALLOW FOR THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW TO TURN WEST AND
CAUSE THIS SQUALL LINE TO ACCELERATE EAST INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS. THE
MAIN THREAT IN SOUTHEAST KANSAS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS BEFORE
EXITING THE AREA BY AROUND 3 AM.

HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING ALSO LOOKS LIKE A GOOD BET WITH PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES AROUND 2 TO 2.5 IN. AS A RESULT...AFTER COLLABORATING
WITH A FEW OFFICES WE PLAN ON GOING WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR
CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS UNTIL 06Z AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS
UNTIL 12Z.

FRIDAY:
MOST OF THE CONVECTION SHOULD BE EAST OF THE AREA ON FRIDAY
MORNING...BUT WE COULD HAVE A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS. THEREFORE...WE
WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN FOR NOW. ALTHOUGH...WE
ARE NOT REAL CONFIDENT IN THIS OCCURRING DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR
GOOD SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THIS SQUALL LINE. ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON...WE
SHOULD SEE THE FRONT START LIFTING BACK TO THE NORTH AS A WARM
FRONT. NOT SEEING ANY STRONG LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ON THIS
FRONT...BUT IT MAY BE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER A FEW SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON.

FRIDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY:
WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA BY FRIDAY NIGHT.
THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW SHOULD REMAIN SOUTHWEST...BUT WE SHOULD BE
MOSTLY CAPPED THROUGH SUNDAY.

MONDAY-THURSDAY:
ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL TROF MAY TRY TO MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS
EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS TROF MAY CAUSE THE FRONT TO PUSH SOUTH INTO
THE FORECAST AREA AND HANG AROUND THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK. AS A
RESULT...THE ACTIVE PATTERN COULD CONTINUE THROUGH NEXT WEEK.

COX

AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAF SUITE...SEVERE CONVECTION TO DEVELOP AND MOVE
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE FIRST HALF OF VALID
PERIOD. OCCASIONAL MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS...MAINLY IN AND NEAR
CONVECTION. STRONG SOUTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE AHEAD OF DRY LINE
AND COLD FRONT THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT.
