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 Jul 5, 6:41 PM CDT, 3 hours 18 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 5, 6:41 PM CDT, 3 hours 18 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
641 PM CDT TUE JUL 5 2011

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.DISCUSSION...

RECENT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC ANALYSIS SHOWS UPPER HIGH
CONTINUING TO BUILD OVER THE FOUR CORNERS AREA WITH UPPER TROF ENTER
NORTHERN MINNESOTA. SEVERAL SHORTWAVES OF INTEREST WERE NOTED ALONG
THE NORTHERN EDGE OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE FROM THE GRATE BASIN INTO
THE NORTHERN PLAINS. WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WAS OVER THE OKLAHOMA
PANHANDLE WITH HIGH PRESSURE NOSING INTO THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS.
PERSISTENT CLOUD SHIELD AND PRECIP IN NORTHERN NEBRASKA KEEPING TEMPS
COOL THERE...WITH LOWER 70S DEWPOINTS AND LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S TEMPS
LEADING TO AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN SOUTHERN NEBRASKA AND NORTHERN AND
EASTERN KANSAS. HEAT INDICES HAVE TOUCHED ON 103 AT A FEW LOCATIONS.

WEAK SURFACE CONVERGENCE WITH WEAK EASTERLY WINDS IN NORTHEAST KANSAS
TO MAINLY WEAK SOUTHERN WINDS IN CENTRAL KANSAS COULD LEAD TO
ISOLATED STORM FORMATION LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. WEAK
SHEAR BUT RATHER HIGH CAPE WOULD SUPPORT PULSE BUT LIKELY
UNORGANIZED SEVERE ACTIVITY. MORE ORGANIZED STORMS ARE LIKELY TO
FORM IN THE BAROCLINIC ZONE TO THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST INTO THE
EVENING HOURS AND LIKELY SPREAD SOUTHEAST WITH WEAK MID LEVEL WARM
AIR ADVECTION AIDING IT. IF COLD POOL FORMATION IS ROBUST
ENOUGH...SEVERE STORM POSSIBILITIES COULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT
WITH UPPER LEVEL WIND FIELDS SLOWLY INCREASING AND A WINDS VEERING
OVER A DEEP LAYER. THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN WHERE ANY MESOSCALE
CONVECTIVE SYSTEM WILL FORM AND TRACK GIVEN THE OVERALL WEAK WIND
FIELDS AND CHANCE POPS WILL BE MAINTAINED.

UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL INCREASE A BIT AND BECOME MORE NORTHWESTERLY
FOR WEDNESDAY. THIS AND ANY OVERNIGHT AND PERHAPS EARLY DAY
CONVECTION SHOULD PUSH THE LOW LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE INTO KANSAS.
AFOREMENTIONED MOUNTAIN WAVES WILL BE ON MORE OF A TRACK TO IMPACT
THE AREA AS WELL WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES INCREASING TO AROUND
2 INCHES. FOCUS FOR ANY SPECIFIC AREA IS STILL UNKNOWN AT THIS
TIME...BUT WILL CONTINUE CHANCE POPS.

65

MID RANGE FORECAST (THURSDAY AND FRIDAY)...

A PROLONGED PERIOD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN BECOMES MORE LIKELY BY
THE MIDDLE TO LATTER PART OF THE WEEK. WITH THE UPPER RIDGE TO THE
WEST...NORTHWEST FLOW AT 500 MB IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE LATTER HALF
OF THE WEEK. MODELS THEN PROJECT A SHORTWAVE PULSE OF ENERGY TO RIDE
ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN QUADRANT OF THE UPPER RIDGE. THIS PIECE OF
ENERGY WILL LIKELY MOVE THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND INTO NORTH
CENTRAL KANSAS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. THE OVERALL
SCENARIO IS STILL A LITTLE UNCLEAR AS THE FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH
THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH LOOKS TO BE THE MAJOR PLAYER IN THIS EVENT. THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL BE PRIMED FOR HEAVY RAINFALL GIVEN PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES EXCEEDING 2 INCHES ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA FOR
THURSDAY. WITH THE LACK OF ANY DISCERNIBLE BOUNDARY OR STRONG LOW
LEVEL JET THE INTENSITY AND DURATION OF THE EVENT WILL REMAIN IN
SOME QUESTION. THE MAIN WAVE IS PROGGED TO MAKE STEADY PROGRESS
THROUGH THE CWA AND AFFECT THE AREA MAINLY THROUGHOUT THURSDAY...BUT
SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BY FRIDAY MORNING.

EXTENDED FORECAST (SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)

THE WEEKEND WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY DRY WEATHER...BUT TEMPERATURES
WILL CLIMB CONSIDERABLY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL
GRADUALLY CLIMB THROUGHOUT FRIDAY AS LINGERING CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP
CONDITIONS FAIRLY COMFORTABLE. BY SATURDAY THE MAIN UPPER RIDGE WILL
PUSH EASTWARD AND BECOME CENTERED OVER OVER OKLAHOMA. DRY
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IN CONCERT WITH THE UPPER RIDGE WILL ALLOW
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE WESTERN ZONES TO CLIMB OVER 100 DEGREES
FOR SATURDAY..SUNDAY...AND POSSIBLY INTO MONDAY. TEMPERATURES IN
THE EASTERN ZONES WILL NOT CLIMB QUITE AS HIGH FOR THE
WEEKEND...BUT MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE AIR WILL BE HIGHER SO
CONDITIONS WILL BE MORE HUMID...AND THUS THE HEAT INDEX VALUES
WILL BE HIGHER ACROSS THE EASTERN ZONES THAN THE WESTERN ZONES.
EXPECT HEAT INDEX VALUES ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA TO CLIMB OVER 100
DEGREES...WITH THE EASTERN ZONES' HEAT INDICES REACHING NEAR 105.
ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES COULD DECREASE SOMEWHAT FOR THE FIRST PART
OF NEXT WEEK...EXPECT HIGHS TO REMAIN THE MID TO UPPER 90S THROUGH
AT LEAST TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...

EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. A CLUSTER OF
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN NE MAY REACH THE TAF SITES AFTER 2Z
WED. OUTFLOW PUSHING AHEAD OF THESE STORM MAY CAUSE THEM TO WEAKEN
OR DISSIPATE BEFORE REACHING THE TAF SITES. ADDITIONAL ELEVATED
THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP AFTER MIDNIGHT BUT SHOULD PUSH
SOUTHEAST OF TAF SITES BY THE MID OR LATE MORNING HOURS OF
WEDNESDAY. WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHEAST 5 TO 10 KTS TONIGHT AND
THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
