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 26, 3:30 PM CDT, 2 hours 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 26, 3:30 PM CDT, 2 hours 24 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
330 PM CDT SUN APR 26 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
THIS AFTERNOON...A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT WAS DRAPED IN A NE-SW MANNER
FROM CNTRL NEBRASKA TO SE CO. A STRONG DRY LINE EXTENDED S/SW FROM THE
FRONT BETWEEEN KDDC & KGCK ACROSS ERN SECTIONS OF THE TX PANHANDLE. THE
BEHAVIOR OF THE FRONT WILL BE A MAJOR CONCERN FROM TONIGHT THROUGH MON
EVENING AS IT WILL NO DOUBT BE THE PRIMARY FOCUS FOR NUMEROUS STRONG TO
SEVERE TSRA CAPABLE OF ALSO PRODUCING +RA THROUGH MON MORNING.

.DISCUSSION...
TONIGHT-MON NIGHT:
WITH STRONG() HIGH PRESSURE ANCHORED OVER FAR SE CONUS EACH SHORT-WAVE
EJECTING FROM MAIN UPR-DECK TROF POSITIONED OVER PACIFIC NW WILL LIKELY
BE FORCED NE ACROSS CNTRL/NRN PLAINS. IN RESPONSE...THE AFORE-MENTIONED
STATIONARY FRONT WOULD TRANSITION INTO COLD FRONT & MOVE SLOWLY SE
ACROSS KICT COUNTRY TONIGHT & MON MORNING. ENCOUNTERING RICHER & DEEPER
MOISTURE AS IT MOVES SE THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO TRIGGER NUMEROUS
+TSRA ACROSS THE REGION...MANY OF WHICH WILL LIKELY BE SEVERE WITH +RA
AN INCREASING THREAT AS TONIGHT PROGRESSES. A FLOOD WATCH WILL THEREFORE
REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR MOST AREAS ALONG & E OF I-135 THROUGH 1 PM MON. A
2ND MID-UPR SHORTWAVE ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE MEAN WRN U.S. UPR TROF IS
A BIT STRONGER THAN ITS PREDECSSOR & SHOULD PROVIDE A SUFFICIENT KICKER
TO FORCE THE COLD FRONT ACROSS SE KS MON AFTERNOON. AS SUCH THE FLOOD
WATCH EXPIRATION TIME OF 1 PM LOOKS QUITE GOOD. SCT POST-FRONTAL SHRA
MAY LINGER OVER SE KS MON EVENING.

TUE:
A BRIEF INTERMISSION FROM CONVECTION STILL SLATED FOR ALL AREAS AS WEAK
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES SE FROM THE NRN PLAINS.

TUE NIGHT-THU NIGHT:
MORE TSRA ARE SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE TUE NIGHT AS A SFC TROF DEVELOPS ALONG
THE FRONT RANGE. THE PROBABILITIES SHOULD INCREASE WED & WED NIGHT AS A
SFC LOW...STRENGTHENING OVER SW KS WED AFTERNOON...SCOOTS NE ACROSS KICT
COUNTRY ALLOWING A POTENT COLD FRONT TO SURGE SE ACROSS KS WED NIGHT. AS
SUCH THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG...& POSSIBLY SEVERE...TSRA WILL LIKEWISE
INCREASE DURING MID-WEEK. STAY TUNED.

NEXT WEEKEND:
SHOULD START UNSEASONABLY COOL AS A WEAK SEMI-INVERTED HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGE SPREADS SE ACROSS KS FRI & FRI NIGHT. VERY GRADUAL WARMUP THEN
ENSUES SAT AFTERNOON AS WEAK SFC TROFFING DEVELOPS ALONG FRONT RANGE.
TSRA SHOULD DEVELOP OVER WRN PLAINS SAT EVENING AS MID-UPR SHORT-WAVE
SCOOTS E OVER NM...THEN SPREAD E ACROSS MUCH OF KICT COUNTRY LATE SAT
NIGHT. ANY CHANCES FOR TSRA WOULD SHIFT E OVER PRIMARILY SE KS ON SUN.

.AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
THUNDERSTORMS ARE THE MAIN FOCUS OF THIS FORECAST. WITH
THUNDERSTORM AND SHOWERS MOVING THROUGH THE AREA TODAY AND INTO
TONIGHT...MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE EXPECTED ACROSS ALL TAF
SITES. VISIBILITIES WILL LIKELY DROP TO 2 TO 3SM AS THUNDERSTORMS
MOVE THROUGH TAF SITES...BUT HARD TO TIME. THE SURFACE FRONT IS
THROUGH KRSL AS OF THIS TAF ISSUANCE...BUT TIMING OF HOW QUICKLY
IT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST IS DIFFICULT AT THIS TIME. THE FRONT WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH KSLN...KHUT AND KICT THROUGHOUT
THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS...BEFORE PUSHING OFF SOUTHEAST THROUGH
KCNU SOMETIME MONDAY.
