The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

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 22, 11:17 PM CDT, 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 22, 11:17 PM CDT, 40 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
1117 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1117 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013

AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION OF MODEL AND OBSERVATIONAL DATA...WE
DECIDED TO INCREASE SNOW AMOUNTS ACROSS CENTRAL KS INTO THE 3-5
INCH CATEGORY. MID-LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS IS INTENSE ACROSS THE
NORTHERN 1/2 TO 2/3 OF KS OVERNIGHT...ALONG WITH DECENT ELEVATED
INSTABILITY. THIS SYNOPTIC PATTERN WOULD FAVOR A NARROW SWATH OF
HEAVY SNOW GENERALLY ALONG THE I-70 CORRIDOR...WHICH COULD TOTAL
6+ INCHES. GIVEN THE LIKELY VERY NARROW NATURE OF THIS POTENTIAL
SNOW BAND...WILL STICK WITH A STRONGLY WORDED WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY FOR NOW...BUT OVERNIGHT SHIFT WILL NEED TO MONITOR.

ADK

&&

UPDATE ISSUED AT 1027 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013

GIVEN LATEST 00Z NAM COMING IN A TAD COOLER THAN PREVIOUS
RUNS...EXPANDED THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY ANOTHER ROW OF
COUNTIES SOUTH TO INCLUDE RENO...HARVEY AND MARION COUNTIES.
OTHERWISE...PREVIOUS FORECAST WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. STILL
ANTICIPATING 2-4 INCHES OF SNOW GENERALLY ALONG/NORTHWEST OF
HIGHWAY 56 OVER CENTRAL KS...WITH A MIX OF RAIN...SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN SOUTH. COULD SEE UP TO ONE-TENTH OF AN INCH ICE
ACCUMULATIONS ON ELEVATES SURFACES GENERALLY ALONG AND EITHER SIDE
OF THE HIGHWAY 50 CORRIDOR.

ADK

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013

ONGOING CONVECTION HAS WEAKENED AND MOVED INTO THE EASTERN PART OF
KANSAS AS OF 2015Z. WATER VAPOR LOOP ENDING AT 1945Z SHOWS A
STRENGTHENING OF THE DISTURBANCE THAT WILL AFFECT THE AREA. IT WAS
LOCATED NEAR WESTERN WYOMING AND CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN GIVEN THE
DARKENING ON THE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY.

LEE CYCLOGENESIS UNDERWAY WITH LOW PRESSURE LOCATED IN NORTHEAST
NEW MEXICO. THE ADVANCING COLD FRONT IS THROUGH KDDC-KRCP-KCNU-
KLNK. THERE IS A SECOND LOW OVER STAFFORD COUNTY KANSAS WITH A
WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM THIS LOW EAST ALONG HIGHWAY 50...THEN
EXTENDING INTO SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS.

PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...THE
TYPE HAS BEEN A REAL FRUSTRATION TO ASCERTAIN. THE 22.12Z NAM-WRF
HAS A REASONABLE HANDLE ON THE CONDITIONS AND FORECAST AND WAS
FOLLOWED TO A DEGREE. THAT SAID...COBB DATA AND AND MODEL SNOW
SHOWS THE POTENTIAL FOR 10 INCHES UP IN SALINA AND RUSSELL. GIVEN
ALL THE GUIDANCE...WE ARE ON THE LOW END OF THE AMOUNTS. GIVEN THE
AMOUNT OF FORCING SUGGESTED...BELIEVE INCREASING THE AMOUNTS IS IN
ORDER FOR CENTRAL KANSAS.

THE CURRENT LOCATION OF THE ADVISORY WILL NO CHANGE AT THIS TIME.
GROUND TEMPERATURES AND EXPECTED RATES JUST DO NOT JUSTIFY
BRINGING IT FURTHER SOUTH AT THIS TIME. /GROUND TEMPERATURES ARE
IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S/

MOREOVER...BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOWS A LARGE AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY IN
WHETHER WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH CLOUD ICE SOUTH OF THE ADVISORY AREA
TO GENERATE A CONSISTENT AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION. THIS FURTHER
COMPLICATED THE FORECAST SCENARIO...WITH A SMORGASBORD OF
PRECIPITATION TYPES OFFERED IN THE FORECAST.

ONCE THIS SYSTEM EXITS...RECORD COLD MOVES INTO THE REGION ONCE
AGAIN. HAVE ISSUED A FREEZING WARNING/FROST ADVISORY FOR AREAS
WITH LOWS BELOW/ABOVE 27 RESPECTIVELY.

COOK

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013

HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXIT THE REGION WHILE LEE CYCLOGENESIS OCCURS
THURSDAY. THIS WILL BRING AN INCREASE OF SURFACE FLOW FROM THE
SOUTH THURSDAY. THURSDAY NIGHT...MOISTURE TRANSPORT/NET ADIABATIC
ASCENT SHOULD BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS TO THE FORECAST
AREA...LASTING INTO FRIDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES SHOULD MODERATE
THROUGH THIS PERIOD...WITH HIGHS BREAKING INTO THE 70S THIS WEEKEND.

THE LONGER RANGE LOOKS LIKE A GRADUAL EASING OF THE LONGWAVE
TROUGH OVER CENTRAL NORTH AMERICA THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF
WEEKS. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN TEMPERATURES A BIT CLOSER TO
NORMAL...THOUGH STILL MOSTLY ON THE LOWER SIDE OF THAT.

COOK

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 647 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013

BUSY WEATHER THE NEXT 18-24 HOURS...AS A STRONG COLD FRONT BLASTS
SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION. INITIALLY THIS EVENING...SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN KS...SOME OF WHICH MAY BE
STRONG/SEVERE FOR KICT-KCNU (ESPECIALLY NEAR KICT). BY
04-06Z...PREVAILING WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD ACROSS
THE ENTIRE AREA...WITH A MIX OF SNOW/SLEET FOR MAINLY KRSL-KSLN.
PRECIPITATION WILL GRADUALLY COME TO AN END BY LATE MORNING/EARLY
AFTERNOON TUE. STRONG/GUSTY NORTH WINDS ANTICIPATED BEHIND THE
FRONT...ALONG WITH IFR TO LOW MVFR CIGS.

ADK

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 330 PM CDT MON APR 22 2013

PRECIPITATION IS A CERTAINTY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH THE NEXT
WINTER STORM MOVING THROUGH THE REGION. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RESIDE
OVER THE REGION THROUGH THURSDAY...THEN SOME RETURN FLOW FROM THE
SOUTHWEST WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION FRIDAY. THIS WIND WILL NOT BE
THAT STRONG. ADDITIONALLY...MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND LIFT THURSDAY
NIGHT WILL CAUSE SOME PRECIPITATION THURSDAY NIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING. CONDITIONS FOR RAPID SPREADING OF GRASSLAND FIRES ARE NOT
THAT PROBABLE THIS WEEK.
