The radar

The Wichita radar (KICT), 63 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 16:06 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

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.

The nearest sounding before it

Topeka, KS (KTOP), launched 12:00Z, 4.1 hours before the alert went out and 166 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

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 26, 6:07 AM CDT, 4 hours 57 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 26, 6:07 AM CDT, 4 hours 57 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
607 AM CDT SUN APR 26 2009

.AVIATION...12Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
STRATUS AND FOG IN CENTRAL KANSAS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE INTO THE
FIRST COUPLE HOURS OF THE TAF PERIOD. OTHERWISE...THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL WILL BE THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THIS FORECAST. BEST CHANCE
FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...AND
HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE AS WELL. LOCATION OF THE SURFACE
FRONT WILL BE TRICKY TODAY...AND REALLY COULD BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN
KGBD AND KHUT FOR MUCH OF THE DAY BEFORE MOVING EASTWARD TONIGHT
AND ON MONDAY.

SCHRECK

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 316 AM CDT SUN APR 26 2009/

DISCUSSION...

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES AS WELL AS
FLOODING POTENTIAL FOR TODAY THROUGH MONDAY.

TODAY-TONIGHT:
CONVECTION CONTINUES THIS MORNING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
KANSAS...AHEAD OF THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM THAT IS OVER THE
DESERT SOUTHWEST. THERE HAS BEEN SOME HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS PARTS OF
SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS ALREADY...WITH MORE RAIN ON THE WAY. TRICKY
PART OF THE FORECAST TODAY WILL BE WHERE THE SURFACE FRONT WILL SET
UP...AND THAT WILL AFFECT ALL FACETS OF THE FORECAST FROM
TEMPERATURES TO SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL.

CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY HIGH AT THIS POINT THAT THE FRONT WILL SET UP
SOMEWHERE ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS THIS MORNING. AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...DEWPOINTS WILL BE IN THE 60S...AND WINDS WILL BE GUSTY.
BEHIND THE FRONT...DEWPOINTS WILL LIKELY BE IN THE 40S AND AFTERNOON
HIGHS IN THE MIDDLE 50S TO LOWER 60S. WILL GO WITH A MORE NORTH
SOLUTION AS FAR AS FRONT POSITION...WHICH WOULD RESULT IN KRSL BEING
IN THE MIDDLE 70S RATHER THAN THE MIDDLE 50S.

SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL ALSO DEPEND ON FRONTAL POSITION...BUT
AT LEAST MUCH OF THE AREA HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER
TODAY...AND ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. WITH SOME AREAS
ALREADY SEEING AN INCH OR MORE OF RAIN THIS WEEKEND...AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER 1 TO 2 INCHES THIS AFTERNOON INTO
MONDAY...WILL CONTINUE THE FLOOD WATCH. AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL
TOTALS IS TRICKY WITH THE UNCERTAIN FRONT POSITION...SO HAVE DECIDED
TO EXPAND THE WATCH FARTHER WEST TO INCLUDE ALL COUNTIES ALONG I-135
AND ALSO ADD A COUPLE COUNTIES FARTHER EAST INTO SOUTHEAST
KANSAS.

AS FAR AS THE GUSTY WINDS TODAY...STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE ACROSS
SOUTHEAST KANSAS. WHILE GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED...THERE IS
NOT EXPECTED TO BE A GREAT DEAL OF SUNSHINE TO ALLOW FOR MIXING.
HOWEVER...IF THERE IS SOME CLEARING...A WIND ADVISORY WOULD LIKELY
BE ISSUED GIVEN STRONG WINDS ALOFT.

MONDAY-TUESDAY:
PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY CONTINUE ON MONDAY...BEFORE THE FRONT
MOVES EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. WILL KEEP
THE FLOOD WATCH GOING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. EXPECT TUESDAY TO BE
DRY DURING THE DAY BEFORE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES RETURN FOR TUESDAY
NIGHT.

SKIES ARE GOING TO CLEAR OUT ON MONDAY NIGHT...SO LOWERED OVERNIGHT
LOWS INTO THE UPPER 30S AND LOWER 40S ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST
AREA.

WEDNESDAY-SATURDAY:
NO REAL CHANGES MADE TO THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST GIVEN SEVERAL
FORECAST CONCERNS IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. IN GENERAL THOUGH...ACTIVE
WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE AS SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT PERSISTS.

SCHRECK

AVIATION...06Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE VERY LOW CIGS OVERNIGHT AND ADDITIONAL
STORMS SUN AFTERNOON-EVENING.

STORMS OVER SE KS AND SOUTH OF THE BORDER WILL CONTINUE OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS. SOME OF THE ACTIVITY WILL SKIRT EXTREME SOUTH
CENTRAL KS THROUGH 08Z BUT WILL NOT HIT IT TOO HARD IN THE KICT TAF.
STORMS DEVELOPED OVER CENTRAL KS A FEW HOURS AGO ALONG THE NOSE OF
THE BETTER THETA-E ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC LIFT...BUT FEEL CONFIDENT
THAT THIS ACTIVITY WILL STAY NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE SURFACE
FRONT WILL LIFT BACK TO THE NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT...ALLOWING RICH LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE TO ROLL BACK WEST. THIS WILL CAUSE IFR...AND SOME
LIFR...CIGS TO OVERSPREAD THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA IN
THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THESE LOWER CIGS WILL STAY IN PLACE MUCH OF THE
DAY FOR CENTRAL KS. STORMS WILL DEVELOP SUN AFTERNOON ALONG THE
SURFACE FRONT OVER CENTRAL KS ON SUN AFTERNOON. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY
WILL DEVELOP TO THE SOUTHWEST AND WILL AFFECT THE FORECAST AREA
MAINLY AFT ER 00Z.
