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 Mar 23, 3:35 PM CDT, 4 hours 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 23, 3:35 PM CDT, 4 hours 5 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
335 PM CDT MON MAR 23 2009

.DISCUSSION...

PRIMARY CONCERNS IN THE FIRST PART OF THE FORECAST ARE STRONG
GRADIENT SURFACE WINDS AND SEVERE WEATHER THREATS.

STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH 56 KT WIND AT 1500FT HAVE
COMBINED TO PRODUCE HIGH WIND CONDITIONS ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST
AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THESE WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH THIS EVENING AS
SURFACE FRONT COLD FRONT RACES EASTWARD AND THE ISOALLOBARIC COUPLET
MOVES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. CURRENT HIGH WIND WARNING EXPIRES AT 7
PM AND THIS LOOKS REASONABLE...HOWEVER...SOME COUNTIES IN THE FAR
SOUTHEASTERN CWA MAY STILL HAVE VERY STRONG WINDS EARLY THIS
EVENING. MAY HAVE TO EXTEND THE WARNING FOR A COUPLE HOURS IN THE
FAR SOUTHEAST...BUT THE REST OF THE AREA SHOULD SEE WINDS DIMINISH
BELOW HIGH WIND CRITERIA BY THE EXPIRATION TIME.

INITIAL LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE CWA
SHOULD MOVE NORTH INTO NEBRASKA THIS AFTERNOON WITH INITIATION OF
ADDITIONAL STORMS EXPECTED IN SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON OR EARLY THIS EVENING. SURFACE FRONT OVERTAKES THE DRYLINE
IN NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO BECOME
MORE LINEAR AND THUS A DAMAGING WIND/HAIL THREAT NORTH OF I-70.
FARTHER SOUTH...THE COLD FRONT WILL BE SLOWER TO OVERTAKE THE
DRYLINE AND CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN DISCRETE SUPERCELLS INTO THE
EVENING HOURS BEFORE EVOLVING INTO A DAMAGING WIND THREAT LATE
TONIGHT.

THE FRONT HANGS UP IN SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS BEFORE SUNRISE TUESDAY.
LINGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED IN THE FAR
SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE CWA. IN CONTRAST...THE NORTHWESTERN
PORTION OF THE CWA WILL HAVE SOME CLEARING AND TEMPS FALLING BACK
INTO THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S BY SUNRISE. ON TUESDAY...UPPER TROF
SHIFTS EASTWARD DURING THE AFTERNOON. COULD BE A COOL BLUSTERY
DAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHERN CWA WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 50S.

TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...ZONAL FLOW ALOFT WITH WEAK SURFACE
HIGH BUILDING IN WILL ALLOW FOR A BRIEF BREAK BETWEEN SYSTEMS FOR
OUR CWA. FOLLOWING A COOL MORNING WEDNESDAY WITH LOWS IN THE LOW TO
MID 30S...HIGHS RECOVER INTO THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

NEXT UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM DROPS INTO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION BY
THURSDAY NIGHT AND GRADUALLY LIFT NORTHEAST THROUGH THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS THROUGH SATURDAY. UNSEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES AND SOME
PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD. INCLUDES A
MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW IN THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA.

STARK

&&

.AVIATION...
MAIN AVIATION FORECAST PROBLEMS RELATED TO WINDS THIS
AFTERNOON...AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THIS EVENING.  TIGHT SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENT RESULTING IN WINDS OF 35 GUSTING TO NEAR 45 KTS AT
TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON.  THIS SHOULD DECREASE AS SURFACE COLD
FRONT APPROACHES THIS EVENING AND GRADIENT WEAKENS.  WITH APPROACH
OF FRONT...THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL INCREASE WITH A FEW HOURS OF
STORMS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING.  SOME SHOWERS MAY LINGER INTO THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS BEFORE DRIER AIR IS ADVECTED IN FROM THE WEST
AFTER MIDNIGHT.  WHILE THERE MAY BE POSSIBLE IFR CONDITIONS WITH THE
STORMS...HAVE MAINLY KEPT WITH MVFR TEMPO GROUPS FOR A FEW HOURS
AROUND FRONTAL PASSAGE.  WESTERLY WINDS AT SURFACE WILL RESULT IN
DRYING OUT LATER TONIGHT AND VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 18Z.

.TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...HIGH WIND WARNING UNTIL 7 PM

141 PM CDT MON MAR 23 2009

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL...NORTH
CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 50 TO 60 MPH
ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA THROUGH 7
PM CDT. A HIGH WIND WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK
AREA. THESE STRONG WINDS HAVE ALSO CREATED A VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER
THROUGHOUT THE OUTLOOK AREA. OUTDOOR BURNING SHOULD NOT BE
ATTEMPTED.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS THIS
AFTERNOON ALONG THE DRYLINE AND MOVE EAST INTO NORTHEAST AND EAST
CENTRAL KANSAS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS.
INSTABILITY AND STRONG WIND SHEAR WILL INITIALLY SUPPORT SUPERCELL
THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND
TORNADOES. LATER THIS AFTERNOON A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE OUTLOOK AREA CAUSING THE SUPERCELLS TO
CONGEAL INTO A LINE MAINLY CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND
SOME LARGE HAIL. AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70 LOOK TO
HAVE THE MOST PROLONGED TORNADO THREAT FROM THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES. THERE IS SOME
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL
KANSAS AS THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL AFTER MIDNIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
