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 May 19, 2:58 PM CDT, 2 hours 8 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 19, 2:58 PM CDT, 2 hours 8 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
258 PM CDT THU MAY 19 2011

.DISCUSSION...
THE FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON THE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL THROUGH FRIDAY FOLLOWED BY CONTINUED
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

AN H3 JET ROUNDING THE BASE OF A MID/UPPER TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES WILL HELP TO SHARPEN A DRYLINE OVER THE WESTERN PERIPHERY
OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING PROVIDING A FOCUS FOR
DEEP MOIST CONVECTION/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INCLUDING SUPERCELLS
WITH LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL DRIFT NORTH AND EASTWARD THROUGH THE
NIGHT WITH SUFFICIENT BUOYANCY TO SUPPORT A CONTINUED RISK OF
LARGE HAIL/DAMAGING WINDS.

THE MID/UPPER TROUGH OVER THE ROCKIES WILL MOVE LITTLE THROUGH
FRIDAY WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE ALONG THE
DRYLINE ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE ONGOING EARLY IN
THE PERIOD GIVEN WEAK CINH LEADING TO A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST FOR
FRIDAY AFTERNOON...BUT GIVEN CONTINUED LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR
ASCENT/DIFFLUENT MID-UPPER FLOW DOWNSTREAM OF MID/UPPER TROUGH WILL
MAINTAIN MID POPS THROUGH THE PERIOD.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...THE MID/UPPER TROUGH IS PROGGED TO TRANSLATE
EAST-NORTHEAST AND EMERGE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS STATES ON
SATURDAY. LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR SUBSIDENCE IS EXPECTED TO
OVERSPREAD MUCH OF KANSAS LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF DEEP MOIST
CONVECTION...HOWEVER THE GFS/NAM BOTH INDICATE A MODEST AMOUNT OF
INSTABILITY ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA WEIGHTED IN THE EAST.
WILL MAINTAIN LOW POPS GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY...HOWEVER WITH MARGINAL
DEEP LAYER SHEAR THE SEVERE POTENTIAL APPEARS TO BE LIMITED AT THIS
TIME. ANOTHER SURGE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS PROGGED ON SUNDAY AS A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIGS INTO THE SOUTHWEST AND LOW PRESSURE AT THE
SURFACE DEEPENS OVER THE HIGH PLAINS OF SOUTHWEST KANSAS.

MONDAY-THURSDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS
EJECT OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE PLAINS STATES. A STRONG COLD
FRONT WILL ARRIVE LATE TUESDAY/EARLY WEDNESDAY BRINGING A
DRIER/CONTINENTAL AIRMASS TO THE REGION AND DIMINISHING CHANCES FOR
DEEP MOIST CONVECTION. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO
MODERATE TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD AS A MID/UPPER RIDGE RETURNS
TO THE ROCKIES.

MWM

&&

.AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU
WITH SOUTHEAST FLOW AT THE SURFACE HAVE A CLASSIC UPSLOPE
SITUATION. ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS RESULTING IN IFR
CONDITIONS AT THE KRSL AND KSLN TAF SITES...THEN MVFR CONDITIONS
ELSWEHERE. DO NOT EXPECT MUCH IMPROVEMENT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
TO THE WEST A SURFACE DRYLINE IS SETTING UP BETWEEN GREAT BEND AND
DODGE CITY THEN SOUTHWARD ALONG THE TEXAS/OKLAHOMA BORDER. THIS
WILL BE THE FOCAL POINT FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS
AFTERNOON. STORMS SHOULD MOVE INTO THE KRSL AND KHUT AREAS BY
2200Z THEN INTO KICT AND KSLN BY 0000Z. A FEW OF THESE STORMS
COULD BE SEVERE UNTIL ABOUT 0300Z. THE AREA OF STORMS WILL MOVE TO THE
NORTHEAST AND INTO THE KCNU BY 0400Z. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL
DIMINISH IN SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH IFR
CONDITIONS REFORMING OVER MOST OF THE AREA AFTER 0900Z.
