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 Apr 9, 3:21 PM CDT, 2 hours 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 9, 3:21 PM CDT, 2 hours 36 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
321 PM CDT THU APR 9 2009

.DISCUSSION...

FORECAST CONCERNS ARE SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES THIS EVENING...THEN
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AGAIN SAT NIGHT/SUN.

THIS EVENING-TONIGHT:
MAIN SURFACE LOW CONTINUES MAKE PROGRESS JUST SOUTH OF THE KANSAS
OKLAHOMA LINE. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM TO THE NORTH
JUST AHEAD OF THE ATTENDANT DRYLINE /GENERALLY LOCATED ALONG I-35/
WITH WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
PUSHING INTO TO NEAR HIGHWAY 400 IN SOUTHERN KS. POSITION OF THIS
WARM SECTOR WILL BE CRITICAL TO AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING SEVERE
WEATHER CHANCES...AS BULK SHEAR AND DIRECTIONAL SHEAR LOOKS
CONDUCIVE FOR SUPERCELLS. LATEST SHORT TERM RUC SHOWS SBCAPES
APPROACHING 2000 J/KG WITH BACKING WINDS JUST SOUTH OF THIS WARM
FRONT. SRH VALUES AROUND 200-300 J/KG AND LOW LCLS SUGGEST THAT A
SMALL WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY EXISTS FOR A TORNADO THREAT AT LEAST
FOR A FEW HOURS INTO THE EVENING...ALONG THE KS/OK BORDER IN
SOUTHERN KS.

COULD ALSO SEE SOME ELEVATED STORMS JUST TO THE NORTH AND POSSIBLY
UNDER THE MAIN SURFACE LOW FOR MOST AREAS FROM THE KS TURNPIKE TO
THE EAST OF THE KS TURNPIKE...SO WILL KEEP A TSRA POP AROUND AT
LEAST UNTIL MIDNIGHT.  COULD ALSO SEE SOME WRAPAROUND SHOWERS ON THE
NW SIDE OF THIS SURFACE LOW ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH
CENTRAL KS AT LEAST UNTIL EARLY ON FRI.

OF LESSOR CONCERN...BUT CERTAINLY IMPORTANT....WILL BE TIGHT
GRADIENT ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW FOR AREAS TO THE WEST OF
INTERSTATE 135 FOR THIS EVENING. COULD SEE WINDS GUST TO AROUND 40
MPH AT LEAST UNTIL MIDNIGHT AS MAIN SURFACE PULLS EAST OF THIS AREA.
SO WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY UNTIL MIDNIGHT FOR THIS AREA.

FRI-SAT:
WEAK RIDGING QUICKLY MOVES OVER THE AREA FOR FRI INTO THE DAYTIME
HOURS ON SAT.  SO EXPECT A GENERAL WARMING TREND FOR BOTH DAYS AS
FLOW QUICKLY RETURNS TO THE SOUTHWEST BY SAT.  LIFT BEGINS TO
INCREASE ACROSS SOUTHWEST KS INTO AREAS WEST OF ICT BY SAT
AFTERNOON....SO WILL LEAVE A POP IN FOR THIS...BUT THINK THAT MAIN
SHOWER CHANCE WILL HOLD UNTIL AT LEAST SAT NIGHT.

SAT NIGHT-MON:
NEXT SHORTWAVE FROM THE SOUTHWEST US LOOKS TO PULL THROUGH THE
ROCKIES FOR SAT NIGHT INTO SUN.  MEDIUM RANGE MODELS STILL TAKING
THE MAIN SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...ISENTROPIC LIFT
AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM INCREASES ACROSS SOUTHERN KS LATE SAT NIGHT
INTO EARLY SUN...WITH MAIN UPPER LOW SWINGING ACROSS KS DURING THE
DAY ON SUN...WITH LARGE SCALE ASCENT INCREASING. SO WILL GO WITH A
SOLID CHANCE POP FOR EARLY ON SUN...WITH A SOLID CHANCE AND EVEN
SOME LIKELY POPS ACROSS ERN SECTIONS FOR SUN DURING THE DAYTIME.
NOT TOO THRILLED ABOUT TSRA CHANCES WITH THIS SYSTEM...AS MAIN
SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY LOOKS TO STAY SOUTH OF THE AREA...BUT
COULD STILL SEE SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER ACROSS SOUTHERN KS...SO WILL
KEEP THIS MENTION AROUND UNTIL SUN EVENING. COLD NATURE TO THIS
UPPER LOW WILL ALSO LEAD TO A CHILLY AND DAMP SUNDAY ACROSS THE
AREA...WITH TEMPS ALMOST 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

REST OF THE EXTENDED:
WEAK RIDGING LOOKS TO MOVE OVER THE AREA FOR TUE INTO WED...WITH
TEMPS MODERATING SOMEWHAT AS NEXT SYSTEM IN THE PACIFIC NW LOOKS TO
DROP SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES FOR WED NIGHT INTO THU. NOT TOO
CONFIDENT IN HOW WED AND THU WILL PLAY OUT AS ECMWF AND GFS DIFFER
ON STRENGTH AND HOW DEEP THIS NEXT SHORTWAVE WILL BE AS IT COMES
ACROSS THE ROCKIES.  ECMWF IS SLOWER AND LOOKS TO BE THE MOST
CONSISTENT...SO WILL FOLLOW THIS SOLUTION FOR NOW...AND KEEP POPS IN
FOR WED/THU.

KETCHAM

.AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE
FORECAST VALID PERIOD...WITH PREVAILING MVFR AND PERIODS OF IFR
ACROSS MOST AREAS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. MOISTURE WILL
CONTINUE TO BE DRAWN NORTH INTO AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE...WHICH
WILL MOVE ALONG THE KANSAS/OKLAHOMA BORDER THROUGH THIS EVENING.
LOW CLOUDS WITH MVFR AND AREAS OF IFR CIGS WILL DEVELOP TO THE
NORTH OF THE LOW ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS...AND THEN EXPAND ACROSS
THE REST OF THE AREA BEHIND THE LOW TONIGHT. SCATTERED CONVECTION
IS ALSO EXPECTED FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY TONIGHT.
STRONG AND OCCASIONALLY GUSTY WINDS WILL PREVAIL AROUND THIS
LOW PRESSURE AREA DURING MUCH OF THE PERIOD. IMPROVEMENT IS
EXPECTED TOWARD THE END OF THE VALID PERIOD ACROSS CENTRAL
KANSAS WITH RETURN TO VFR CONDITIONS.
