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 Jul 29, 12:53 PM CDT, 3 hours 47 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 29, 12:53 PM CDT, 3 hours 47 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
1253 PM CDT MON JUL 29 2013

...AVIATION UPDATE...

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 257 AM CDT MON JUL 29 2013

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS: SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THIS PM/EARLY EVE
AND HEAVY RAINFALL/FLOODING POTENTIAL INTO TUESDAY MORNING.

HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES THIS MORNING WILL BE IN CENTRAL KS WHERE
SLIGHTLY STRONGER MID-LEVEL ISENTROPIC ASCENT PERSISTS. OTHER
CONVECTION OVER THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE
EAST-NORTHEAST REACHING SOUTH CENTRAL KS THIS MORNING. NOT EXPECTING
THIS RAIN TO BE TOO HEAVY...AVERAGING 0.25 TO 0.50 INCH. KEY
QUESTION FOR THIS PM/EVE IS HOW FAR NORTH CAN THE EFFECTIVE FRONT
MOVE...WHICH CURRENTLY STRETCHES FROM FAR SOUTHWEST KS THROUGH
NORTHERN OK. IT APPEARS REASONABLE THAT THIS FRONT MAY LIFT INTO OUR
SOUTHERN KS COUNTIES BY THIS AFTERNOON...HOWEVER TO GET MUCH FURTHER
NORTH COULD PROVE DIFFICULT GIVEN POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD LOW
CLOUDS/RAIN-COOLING EFFECTS. IF PARTIAL SUN/HEATING CAN OCCUR IN THE
SOUTH...AT LEAST MODERATE INSTABILITY WILL DEVELOP THIS PM/EARLY EVE
WITH ABOUT 30 KT OF W-NWRLY DEEP LAYER SHEAR VECTORS OVERHEAD.
THEREFORE WILL CONTINUE MENTION OF POSSIBLE SEVERE STORMS IN
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IN SOUTH CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST KS. FOR TONIGHT
INTO TUESDAY MORNING...A SOUTHWESTERLY 35-40 KT LOW-LEVEL JET WILL
FOCUS ISENTROPIC ASCENT ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...WITH STRONGEST
MOISTURE TRANSPORT TARGETING SOUTH CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST KS WHERE
PRECIPITABLE WATER IS PROGGED TO REACH 2.0 TO 2.2 INCHES. THIS IS
THE 99TH PERCENTILE ABOVE NORMAL. UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE ALSO
TARGETS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA AIDING IN UPWARD MOTION. A
MESOSCALE COMPLEX OF RAIN/T-STORMS SHOULD DEVELOP TONIGHT...WHICH
MAY SHOW BACKBUILDING TENDENCY INTO THE LOW-LEVEL JET ACROSS SOUTH
CENTRAL KS/FLINT HILLS/SOUTHEAST KS. HAVE EXPECTED HIGHEST RAINFALL
TOTALS THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING OF 2 TO 4 INCHES BASIN AVERAGE IN
THAT AREA. THIS IS CLOSE TO A CONSENSUS OF THE 00Z GEFS MEAN QPF
MAX AND ECMWF QPF MAX IN TERMS OF LOCATION/AMOUNTS OF MAXIMUM
RAINFALL. WILL KEEP PRESENT FLOOD WATCH AREAL CONFIGURATION...HOWEVER
WILL EXTEND IT TIL 18 UTC TUESDAY ALONG/E OF THE KS TURNPIKE.
CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM FOR COUNTY FLOODING AND POTENTIALLY MULTIPLE
RIVERS GOING INTO FLOOD ESPECIALLY IN SOUTH CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST KS.

RAIN CHANCES SHOULD DIMINISH/END LATER TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY BEHIND
DEPARTING MID-LEVEL WAVE WITH LOW-LEVEL FLOW BECOMING
NORTH-NORTHEASTERLY. SOME RECOVERY IN TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY WITH LESS CLOUD COVER...BUT PROBABLY STAYING A FEW-SEVERAL
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL GIVEN RECENT WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINS.

JMC

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 257 AM CDT MON JUL 29 2013

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS THE
SOUTH CENTRAL STATES...WITH THE MAIN BELT OF WESTERLIES ACROSS THE
NORTHERN TIER STATES. A COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO DROP SOUTHWARD INTO
THE KANSAS REGION FRIDAY...AND THIS BOUNDARY MAY STALL NEAR OR JUST
NORTH OF OUR AREA OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL BRING BACK CHANCES OF
THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY PERIOD. TEMPERATURE
FORECAST WILL BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGES FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR.

JMC

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1249 PM CDT MON JUL 29 2013

CONVECTION WITH HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN AREAL
COVERAGE INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. WHILE VFR OR MVFR WILL
PREVAIL MUCH OF THE TIME...PERIODS OF IFR AND PERHAPS LIFR CAN
ALSO BE EXPECTED IN AND NEAR THE SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH
TONIGHT. A PERIOD OF IFR CIGS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT IS ALSO
EXPECTED EARLY TUESDAY MORNING ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS.
