$$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 Topeka, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 10, 4:09 PM CDT, 2 hours 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 4:09 PM CDT, 2 hours 18 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS 409 PM CDT THU APR 10 2008 .DISCUSSION... INITIAL FORECAST CONCERNS ARE WITH REGARDS TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT FOR EASTERN TIER OF COUNTIES. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE CENTER AT FORECAST TIME WAS AROUND KCNK WITH MAX PRESSURE FALLS OVER SOUTHWEST IA. PACIFIC FRONT HAS PUSHED EAST OF THE CWA BRINGING BEST QUALITY LOW LEVEL MOISTURE EAST INTO MO. GREATEST ONGOING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WAS OVER NORTHWESTERN MO WITH A SECONDARY AREA OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER NORTH CENTRAL OK AND SOUTH CENTRAL KS. WITH THE WARM FRONT NORTH OF THE CWA AT THIS TIME...BREAKS IN THE STRATUS HAVE ALLOWED FOR THE EROSION OF ANY CONVECTIVE INHIBITION...WHICH WAS ALLOWING ISOLATED CONVECTION TO DEVELOP WITHIN THE WATCH AREA. CONVECTION OVER SOUTH CENTRAL KS MAY EXPAND IN COVERAGE THROUGH THE 23 TO 00Z TIMEFRAME AS CONVERGENCE ALONG TRUE COLD FRONT AND DAYTIME HEATING COMBINED WITH COLD CORE ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE ALOFT SET UP AT LEAST SOME MARGINAL INSTABILITY JUST SOUTH OF THE CWA. THIS ACTIVITY WILL ROTATE NORTHEAST AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES EAST THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH ALONG THE COLD FRONT AFTER SUNSET AS DEEP LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND FORCING OTHER THAN CONVERGENCE ALONG THE COLD FRONT IS LACKING. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAY BECOME STRONG ENOUGH BEFORE SUNSET IN THE WATCH AREA TO PRODUCE SOME ONE INCH HAIL OR 60 MPH WIND GUSTS. AFTER SUNSET WOULD EXPECT SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES TO DIMINISH QUICKLY...AND WOULD EXPECT TOP CWA COUNTIES TO BE REMOVED FROM THE WATCH WELL BEFORE THE EXP TIME OF 9 PM. OTHER CONCERNS TONIGHT WERE SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS SOUTHEAST OF THE LOW CLIMBING ABOVE ADVISORY CRITERIA. AT THIS TIME WITH THE BENEFIT OF DAYTIME HEATING SITES IN EAST CENTRAL KS ARE NOT REACHING ADVISORY LEVELS...SO DO NOT EXPECT AFTER SUNSET WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF THERMAL MIXING SITES WILL REACH ADVISORY LEVELS...SO WILL ALLOW THE WIND ADVISORY TO EXPIRE AT 22Z. SAME CONCERNS WITH WINDS OVERNIGHT BEHIND THE SURFACE LOW WITH RELATIVELY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT. ALL GUIDANCE INDICATES WINDS BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS...AND ONCE AGAIN WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF DAYTIME HEATING...DO NOT EXPECT WINDS TO CLIMB ABOVE ADVISORY LEVELS OVERNIGHT...SO HAVE NOT ISSUED WIND ADVISORY FOR NORTH CENTRAL KS AT THIS TIME. IF PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS SUFFICIENTLY STRONG TOMORROW...AND SUBSIDENCE IS GREAT ENOUGH TO PROVIDE SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER...SOME SITES IN NORTH CENTRAL KS MAY REACH ADVISORY LEVELS. SINCE CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS LOW AT THIS TIME WILL LEAVE WIND ADVISORY DECISION FOR TOMORROW UP TO THE NEXT FORECAST CYCLE FOR LATEST ANALYSIS. LATE TONIGHT/FRIDAY..AXIS OF INSTABILITY ALOFT MOVES INTO EASTERN CWA LATE EVENING...AND IS CLEAR OF THE AREA BY THE MIDNIGHT HOUR. CAA THEN REALLY KICKS IN WITH NORTHWESTERLY FLOW BEHIND THE UPPER LOW. WILL CARRY A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR RAIN...WITH SLIGHT CHANCE FOR RAIN OR SNOW WHERE SURFACE TEMPS ARE LESS THAN 36F. NOT EXPECTING A HARD FREEZE CONSIDERING OVERNIGHT MIXING AND CLOUD COVER...BUT TEMPERATURES NEAR 32F ARE EXPECTED ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS. AREA REMAINS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE UPPER LOW WITH NEARLY NEUTRAL TEMPERATURE ADVECTION KEEPING TEMPS IN THE LOW 40S. SAT...ANOTHER LOBE OF ENERGY SWEEPS AROUND THE BACK SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW ON SATURDAY...AND REINFORCES BOTH MORE COLD ADVECTION AND ANOTHER SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SOME SNOW SHOWERS. MOISTURE AND LIFT SEEM TO CLEAR THE EASTERN CWA BY LATE AFTERNOON...BUT THINK IT TOO LATE FOR THE SUN TO MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE IN HIGH TEMPS. SUN/MON...500 MB FLOW BECOMES NEARLY DUE NORTH BEHIND THE DEPARTING UPPER LOW AND AHEAD OF HIGHLY AMPLIFIED WESTERN RIDGE. THIS KEEPS US AGAIN IN COOLER FLOW BUT WARMER TEMPS OF +6C AT 850MB CREEP ACROSS THE AREA BY LATE DAY SUNDAY AND SHOULD GET US INTO THE MID 50S BY LATE DAY. COOLER HIGH PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES TO HAVE INFLUENCE ON ITS EASTERN SIDE THROUGH MONDAY BUT SHOULD STILL RAISE A FEW MORE DEGREES NEAR 60 WITH SUN AND SLOW WARMING TREND. TUES-THURS...FLATTENING RIDGE BRINGS ZONAL FLOW ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND A RETURN TO THE LEE TROF AND WARM SOUTHERLY WINDS. LATEST EC AND GFS HAVE NEXT UPPER LOW POISED OFF THE WEST COAST PROGGED TO MOVE EASTWARD INTO THE FOUR CORNERS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. END RESULT WILL BE TEMPERATURES FINALLY NEAR 70 FOR THE MID TO LATE WEEK. && .AVIATION... THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT A THUNDERSTORM MAY MOVE OVER TOP OR FOE LATE THIS AFTERNOON...HOWEVER DUE TO THE ISOLATED NATURE OF CONVECTION DID NOT INCLUDE A TEMPO GROUP IN THE TAFS AND SIDED WITH VCTS WORDING AT THIS TIME. WINDS WILL REMAIN BREEZY AND SLOWLY VEER AROUND TO THE WEST TONIGHT AS SURFACE LOW MOVES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH TAF SITES IN THE 04 TO 05Z TIMEFRAME...WHICH WILL LIKELY BRING AN MVFR DECK BACK THROUGH TAF SITES. AT THIS TIME CIGS LOOK TO HOLD AROUND THE 2 KFT LEVEL...SO HAVE CIGS REMAINING AT THIS LEVEL FROM 04-05Z ON AT THIS TIME. TOWARDS THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD WINDS MAY VEER FURTHER AROUND TO THE WEST NORTHWEST...BUT DID NOT ADD A CHANGE GROUP AT THIS TIME AS CIGS LOOK TO REMAIN FAIRLY PERSISTENT. CAVANAUGH && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...WIND ADVISORY UNTIL 6 PM THURSDAY FOR KSZ058-KSZ059. && 67/CAVANAUGH
