What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Sep 15, 6:57 PM CDT, 42 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 15, 6:57 PM CDT, 42 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
657 PM CDT WED SEP 15 2010

.AVIATION...00Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU

ONGOING CONVECTION HAS MADE THINGS MORE CONFIDENT IN THE COMING
FORECAST. CONVECTION SHOULD BE MOVING EAST AWAY FROM KICT BY 01Z.
KSLN AND KRSL ARE OUT OF THE THREAT AND SHOULD REMAIN VFR. KCNU
HAS A SIGNIFICANT SUPERCELL HEADING TOWARD THE AIR SPACE AND IT
SHOULD AFFECT THEM BEFORE 02Z. ONCE THIS STORM PASSES...THERE IS
ANOTHER CHANCE OF STORMS BEHIND THESE...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS
LOW. SO AT THIS TIME...LEFT CONVECTION OUT OF THE TAF AFTER THIS
INITIAL STORM.

SUPERCELLS HAVE BEEN PRODUCING HAIL LARGER THAN BASEBALL
SIZE...WINDS TO 70 MPH...AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. ONCE ALL OF THE
CONVECTION PASSES...ABOUT 04Z...WINDS WILL BECOME NORTH-NORTHEAST
WITH SKIES CLEARING. VFR FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE KCNU TAF PERIOD.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 309 PM CDT WED SEP 15 2010/

DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CONCERNS...SEVERE WEATHER RISK THROUGH EARLY THIS
EVENING...THEN SYNOPTIC FRONTAL POSITION/MOVEMENT THIS WEEKEND.

VERY INTERESTING WEATHER SCENARIO WAS DEVELOPING AT MID-AFTERNOON
WITH INTERACTION OF SYNOPTIC AND MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED JUST EAST OF KDDC
WITH SURFACE BOUNDARY EXTENDING EAST ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS
JUST NORTH OF KICT. MEANWHILE THE SYNOPTIC FRONT WAS SITUATED
FROM NORTH CENTRAL INTO WESTERN KANSAS. MESO ANALYSIS AND THE RUC
MODEL SUGGEST MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE JUST
EAST OF SURFACE LOW AND ALONG MESO BOUNDARY ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
KANSAS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON. A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS AND
STRONG EFFECTIVE DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL SUPPORT SEVERE STORMS AND A
FEW SUPERCELLS IN THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF INITIATION WITH DAMAGING
WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. INCREASED LOW LEVEL HELICITY ALONG THE
AFOREMENTIONED BOUNDARY EAST OF SURFACE LOW WILL ALSO PRESENT A
RISK FOR TORNADOES UNTIL DARK ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. WHILE
A RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING...THE
CONVECTION SHOULD TRANSITION TO MORE OF A LINEAR STRUCTURE WITH
FORCING ALONG THE COLD FRONT TONIGHT WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN
EXPECTED FOR THE SOUTHERN FLINT HILLS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

SOMEWHAT COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL ADVECT SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA
ON THURSDAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE LOWER
MISSOURI VALLEY. CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE LATE IN THE DAY
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AS MID-LEVEL WARM ADVECTION/LIFT IS PROGGED
BY BOTH THE GFS AND NAM. THERE IS SLIGHT CONCERN THAT SOME
ELEVATED SHOWERS/WEAK CONVECTION COULD DEVELOP THURSDAY
NIGHT...HOWEVER FOR NOW HAVE LEFT FORECAST DRY.

WHILE A VERY WARM AND BASICALLY DRY FORECAST IS EXPECTED OVER
THE WEEKEND...THE CHALLENGE BECOMES HOW FAR SOUTH A MODIFIED
CANADIAN AIRMASS/COLD FRONT WILL COME BEFORE STALLING AND THEN
RETREATING NORTH AGAIN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. A VERY DEEP UPPER
LOW IS PROGGED TO ROTATE EAST ACROSS CENTRAL/EASTERN CANADA
ON FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...DISLODGING A CANADIAN AIRMASS SOUTH
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS/MIDWEST. THE 12Z GFS REMAINS FURTHER
SOUTH WITH THE FRONTAL MOVEMENT/POSITION...POSSIBLY TO ALONG
THE I-70 CORRIDOR SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...WHICH IS ALSO
SUPPORTED BY THE ENSEMBLE MEAN. WHILE A BIT FURTHER NORTH...THE
ECMWF HAS TRENDED SOUTH OVER THE PAST FEW RUNS. FOR NOW HAVE
OPTED TO STAY WARM...THOUGH TRIMMED BACK MAXS A BIT FOR SUNDAY.
SUBTLE CHANGES IN THE MODELS COULD RESULT IN THIS AIRMASS
COMING FURTHER SOUTH WITH COOLER MAXS...AND CAN BE REFINED BY
LATER SHIFTS. LITTLE CHANGE TO THE OUTER PERIODS EXPECTED WITH
POTENTIAL COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE AGAIN BY TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER VERY WARM TEMPERATURES LOOK TO STAY INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK AHEAD OF THIS FRONTAL PASSAGE.

DARMOFAL

AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
CONVECTION AND FRONT TIMING ARE THE MAIN CHALLENGES...CONFIDENCE LOW.

BOUNDARY RESIDES FROM KPTT-K9K8-KICT-KCFV LINE. EXPECT CONVECTION
TO DEVELOP ALONG THIS LINE AND MOVE SOUTHEAST. THIS SHOULD OCCUR
AROUND 20-22Z. CONVECTION IS LEAST LIKELY TO AFFECT KRSL AND MOST
LIKELY TO AFFECT KICT AND KCNU.

WINDS ARE VERY DIFFICULT AT THIS TIME...AS SEVERAL BOUNDARIES
REMAIN ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. NORTH OF THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED
BOUNDARY...WINDS SHOUDL REMAIN AROUND 12014KT WITH CIGS AROUND
2000 FEET. SOUTH OF IT...IT SHOULD BE 18018G28KT.

THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PICK UP SPEED AND MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
THIS EVENING...WITH WINDS SHIFTING TO 34012KT. AS HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES IN FROM THE NORTH...THE WINDS WILL GRADUALLY BECOME NORTHEASTERLY.
