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 13, 3:27 PM CDT, 3 hours 9 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 3:27 PM CDT, 3 hours 9 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
327 PM CDT FRI APR 13 2012

.DISCUSSION...

TONIGHT:
INTIALLY MAIN CONCERN IS CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL THIS EVENING...WITH
AREA ALONG OK BORDER UNCAPPED AND OVER 2500 J/KG OF MLCAPE...INCLUDING
CONSIDERABLE CAPE BELOW 3KM. LACK OF LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL
RESULT IN LIMITED COVERAGE INITIALLY...BUT HIGH PROBABILITY THAT
SOME WILL BE SEVERE. KF SREF MEMBERS HAD BEST HANDLE ON GOING
CONVECTION IN SOUTHWEST OK...WITH DEVELOPMENT THIS TOWARD OK/KS BORDER
AT 0000 UTC AND LIFT IT NORTH ACROSS MUCH OF FORECAST AREA
OVERNIGHT. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT THINKING THAT BEST
CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL BE THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT AS DEEPER MOISTURE
WORKS NORTH. APPEARS TO BE SOME RISK FOR SEVERE HAIL WITH THESE
STORMS OVERNIGHT...EVEN AS THEY BECOME SLIGHTLY ELEVATED. THIS TRANSIENT
AREA IS WHERE MID LEVEL SHEAR IS GREATEST...BUT IT IS SPATIALLY
LIMITED.  WINDS WILL LIKELY INCREASE IN WEST IN RESPONSE TO THE
TIGHTENING SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE WEST.

SAT-SAT NIGHT:
ACTIVE WEATHER ANTICIPATED WITH DRYLINE PUSHING ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA DURING AFTERNOON/EVENING. SEVERAL OF THE SREF RUNS CAST
DOUBTS ON EARLY INITIATION...WHICH COULD SHUNT BIGGER SEVERE RISK
TO SOUTHEAST KS AND LEAVE WESTERN SECTIONS DRY...BUT GIVEN OTHER
GUIDANCE...NOT AT ALL CONFIDENT ABOUT THIS. 1200 UTC NAM IS
CONSISTENT WITH PREVIOUS THINKING...WITH BEST INSTABILITY ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL KS AROUND 0000 UTC.

SUN:
FAIR AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY BETWEEN MODELS ON TRACK/SPEED OF
SURFACE LOW. THIS COULD RESULT IN FAIR AMOUNT OF WRAP AROUND
CLOUDS/PRECIPITATION CHANCES DURING THE DAY IF SLOWER SOLUTIONS
VERIFY. FASTER SOLUTIONS WOULD BE RELATIVELY SUNNY AND DRY.

MON-FRI:
NO MAJOR CHANGES IN GOING FORECAST. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP CLOSER
TO NORMAL WITH DRY WEATHER ANTICIPATED. WILL ADD SMALL CHANCES
ACROSS SOUTHEAST KS ON FRI IN WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF APPROACHING
FRONT. -HOWERTON

&&

.AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU

THE MAIN AVIATION FORECAST CONCERN IS THE TIMING OF THUNDERSTORMS
THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT AND ASSOCIATED MVFR CONDITIONS.

THE WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO RETREAT BACK TO THE WEST THIS
AFTERNOON. DEEPER MOISTURE ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS HAVE KEPT
MVFR CONDITIONS AT KCNU THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON.

EXPECTING POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS NORTHERN
OKLAHOMA WHICH COULD MOVE NORTHEASTWARD AND IMPACT KCNU THIS
EVENING NEAR 00Z. OTHERWISE...THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE
OVERNIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET/MOISTURE TRANSPORT INCREASE AND INTERACTS
WITH THE PLENTIFUL INSTABILITY. HAVE VCTS AT ALL STIES EXCEPT
KRSL/KSLN WHERE CONFIDENCE IS NOT AS HIGH. OVERNIGHT AS THE DEEP
LAYER MOISTURE INCREASES EXPECTING MVFR CONDITIONS TO RETURN TO
THE AREA. DO EXPECT CLOUDS AND STORMS TO BREAK OUT AND SCATTER TO
VFR OUT DURING THE MORNING/LATE MORNING.

IN ADDITION TO THE THUNDERSTORMS AND LOW FLIGHT CONDITIONS A
STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS KANSAS WILL RESULT IN VERY STRONG
SOUTHERLY WINDS AT ALL TERMINALS FROM EARLY MORNING THROUGH THE
DAY SATURDAY.
