What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
May 31, 7:31 PM CDT	HAIL 0.75	3 N Edna, KS

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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 tornado 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 tornado warning went out at May 31, 7:12 PM CDT, 12 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 31, 7:12 PM CDT, 12 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
712 PM CDT FRI MAY 31 2013

...UPDATED FOR AVIATION...

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
ISSUED AT 336 PM CDT FRI MAY 31 2013

BEST INSTABILITY ROUGHLY EAST OF I-35 WITH 3000-4000 J/KG OF CAPE.
JET HAS CONTRIBUTED TO GOOD DEEP LAYER SHEAR...DESPITE LESS THAN
IDEA LOW LEVEL FLOW. MID LEVEL WIND SHEAR SUFFICIENT FOR QUARTER
SIZED HAIL...BUT GOLFBALLS POSSIBLE WITH MID LEVEL STORM
ROTATION. NON-ZERO TORNADO THREAT...BUT WILL LIKELY BE BRIEF-
BOUNDARY INTERSECTION AND/OR LOW LEVEL UPDRAFT/STRETCHING PROCESS.
THIS IS MORE LIKELY WITH DISCRETE CELLS AHEAD OF MAIN LINE...WITH
RELATIVELY HIGHER RISK SOUTHEAST OF THE CURRENT LINE OF STORMS
EXTENDING ROUGHLY FROM PARSONS TO INDEPENDENCE. SECOND LINE
FORMING ALONG FRONT AND CURRENT THINKING THAT THIS LINE MAY BE
LIMITED WITH SOUTHERN LINE OF STORMS LIMITING ADDITIONAL INSTABILITY.
BY FAR...BIGGEST THREAT WILL BE FLOODING ACROSS THE AREA AND WILL
CONTINUE FLOOD WATCH. -HOWERTON

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 336 PM CDT FRI MAY 31 2013

TONIGHT:
BOUNDARY SAGGING ACROSS FLINT HILLS AND SOUTHEAST KS WILL BE
FOCUS FOR ROBUST CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. GOOD
INSTABILITY AND JET SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR SOME SEVERE
STORMS...BUT WITH MODE LIKELY TRANSITIONING TO LINEAR FAIRLY
QUICKLY...THREAT WILL LIKELY SWITCH TO FLOODING. TROPICAL AIRMASS
REMAINS ANCHORED ROUGHLY EAST OF I-35...ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS...
AND TRAINING STORMS WITH MAKE FLOODING LIKELY.

SAT:
WHILE PRECIPITATION IF NOT ALREADY OUT OF SOUTHEAST KS...SHOULD
EXIT BEFORE NOON. MEANWHILE MOST MODELS SHOWING SOME MID LEVEL
MOISTURE WORKING INTO AREA AS COOLER AIR ALOFT/SHORTWAVE MOVES
THROUGH. HOWEVER APPEARS THAT VERTICAL MOTION IN MOIST LAYER WILL
MAINLY BE NEUTRAL OR DOWNWARD...SO ONLY EXPECTING MAINLY SCATTERED
CLOUDS. BELIEVE GOOD DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL LIKELY OFFSET CLOUDS...
BUT WILL ALSO HAVE CONSIDERABLE WATER/SOIL MOISTURE TO EVAPORATE TOO.

SAT NIGHT-MON:
QUIET/MILD WEATHER ANTICIPATED THIS PERIOD AS UPPER RIDGE BUILDS
INTO THE AREA AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS KS. -HOWERTON

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 336 PM CDT FRI MAY 31 2013

INCREASING CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION DURING THIS PERIOD AS NEXT
SIGNIFICANT WAVE MOVE THROUGH THE PLAINS. AS HAS BEEN THE CASE...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW FAIR AMOUNT OF VARIATION ON
WHEN/WHERE THIS WILL OCCUR AND LOCATION OF BOUNDARY DURING THE
PERIOD. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT THE BEST CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION WILL BE TUE NIGHT ALONG THE NE BORDER OF FORECAST
AREA AND SOUTHERN HALF WED NIGHT. WITH TEMPERATURES HIGHLY
DEPENDENT ON CLOUDS AND THE UNCERTAINTY ATTENDANT WITH THE
CLOUDS...WILL RUN WITH CONSENSUS/INITIALIZATION GRIDS. -HOWERTON

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 712 PM CDT FRI MAY 31 2013

MAIN AVIATION CONCERN IN THE VERY SHORT TERM IS AT KCNU WHERE
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS OCCURRING AT AND UPSTREAM FROM KCNU.
BASED ON SHORT TERM MODEL GUIDANCE...THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL
MOVE SOUTH AND EAST OF KCNU BY 02 UTC.  CIGS WITH THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN LOW END VFR...HOWEVER VISIBILITIES WILL
DROP INTO IFR CATEGORY.  KICT...KHUT...KSLN..KRSL WILL CONTINUE
WITH VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.  LOWER VFR CIGS BETWEEN
4-5K ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AFOREMENTIONED SITES AND
KCNU BETWEEN 15-18 UTC.
