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 Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 17, 12:49 PM CDT, 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 17, 12:49 PM CDT, 21 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
1249 PM CDT WED APR 17 2013

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 211 AM CDT WED APR 17 2013

THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES ARE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TODAY AND
TEMPERATURES INTO TONIGHT.

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL OPEN TROUGH WILL MOVE FROM THE INTERMOUNTAIN
WEST AND SOUTHWEST CONUS AND INTO THE PLAINS TONIGHT. THE NAM MODEL
KEEPS THE COLD AIR AND A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE INTO WESTERN KANSAS
TODAY WITH A SECONDARY COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS BY
THIS EVENING. THE GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW A WARM FRONT LIFTING
NORTHWARD INTO PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON, BUT
CANNOT RESOLVE THE SHALLOW COLD AIRMASS LIKE THE NAM MODEL. WILL
CONTINUE WITH USING THE NAM FOR THIS FORECAST. CURRENT THUNDERSTORM
CLUSTER JUST NORTH AND EAST OF DODGE CITY WAS QUICKLY MOVING
NORTHEAST AND SHOULD BE EXITING THE HAYS AREA IN A FEW HOURS. THESE
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED ON THE NOSE OF A JET STREAK SHOWN ON WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY, AND AUGMENTED BY WARM ADVECTION, AND ISENTROPIC LIFT
OVER THE COLD AIR AND WERE ELEVATED. MORE THUNDERSTORMS WILL FORM
TODAY AND TONIGHT MAINLY EAST OF A LINE FROM SCOTT CITY TO ASHLAND
WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE IN PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS
FROM SAINT JOHN TO COLDWATER AND EAST. CAPE VALUES LOOK TO RANGE
FROM 1000 TO 1500 J/KG IN THE SEVERE AREA WITH HAIL TO THE SIZE OF
QUARTERS AND POSSIBLY LARGER. AREAS OF DRIZZLE AND FOG WILL STICK
AROUND UNTIL NOON, THEN PROFILES SHOW THE DEPTH OF THE MOIST LAYER
DECREASING TO SUPPORT DRIZZLE. HIGHS LOOK TO BE COOL AGAIN TODAY AND
RANGE FROM THE MID TO UPPER 40S EXCEPT AROUND 52 AT MEDICINE LODGE.

THIS EVENING NORTHEAST WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTH-NORTHWEST AND
INCREASE TO 25 TO 40 MPH. AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW AND FLURRIES WILL ALSO
MOVE FROM NORTHWEST KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON AND ACROSS MOST OF
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS OVERNIGHT. SOME LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE WITH AROUND 1/2 INCH FROM
ELKHART TO GARDEN CITY AND HAYS AND WEST, AND LESS AS YOU GO EAST.
OVERNIGHTS LOWS LOOK TO BE IN THE MID 20S AND AROUND 32 AT
MEDICINE LODGE.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 354 AM CDT WED APR 17 2013

THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM MENTIONED IN THE SHORT TERM DISCUSSION WILL
PULL AWAY FROM WESTERN KANSAS THURSDAY, WITH WINDY, CLOUDY AND COLD
CONDITIONS ONLY SLOWLY GIVING WAY TO PARTIAL SUN. THERE IS ONLY
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF MORNING LIGHT SNOW. HIGH TEMPERATURES
SHOULD ONLY REACH INTO THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S. WITH MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES AND 5 TO 10 KT WINDS. TEMPERATURES SHOULD EASILY FALL INTO THE
20S THURSDAY NIGHT. CONDITIONS WILL NOT BE IDEAL (WINDS WILL BE 5
TO 10 KTS) FOR STRONGER RADIATIONAL COOLING THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED
IN TEENS.

WARMER TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND WITH HIGHS
REACHING INTO THE 50S TO LOWER 60S FRIDAY, 60S TO NEAR 70 SATURDAY
AND 60S SUNDAY. A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL PASS ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PLAINS BY SATURDAY NIGHT. BUT GIVEN THE LACK OF DEEP
MOISTURE AND WEAKNESS OF THE SYSTEM, PRECIPITATION IS UNLIKELY.
IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM, A STRONGER SYSTEM IS ADVERTISED TO DIG
INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES BY LATE SUNDAY AND MONDAY AND THEN PROGRESS
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS BY LATE MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THERE SHOULD
BE SUFFICIENT LOW TO MID LEVEL MOISTURE AVAILABLE BY THIS TIME
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF RAIN AND ISOLATED NON-SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
FROM LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. THIS SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO TAP MORE ARCTIC AIR SO THAT TEMPERATURES COULD FALL
INTO THE 20S BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY MORNINGS. SOME SNOW CANNOT
BE RULED OUT EITHER DEPENDING ON THE AMPLITUDE OF THE UPPER
TROUGH.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1249 PM CDT WED APR 17 2013

A COOL MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW OVER SOUTHWEST KANSAS WILL KEEP IFR/LIFR
CIGS IN PLACE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF TODAY INTO TONIGHT. AREAS
OF DRIZZLE WILL CONTINUE TO PREVAIL AT GARDEN CITY AND DODGE
CITY. RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE IN THE VICINITY OF HAYS THROUGH PARTS OF
THE AFTERNOON. COLDER AIR WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN KANSAS THIS
EVENING AND WILL RESULT IN AREAS OF SLEET AND SNOW DEVELOPING
BETWEEN 03Z AND 06Z. CONDITIONS SHOULD BE IMPROVING AROUND 10-12Z
WITH CIGS AND VSBYS IMPROVING INTO THE MVFR/VFR CATEGORY.
