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 Jun 11, 6:52 PM CDT, 3 hours 55 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 6:52 PM CDT, 3 hours 55 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
652 PM CDT WED JUN 11 2014

...UPDATED FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT WED JUN 11 2014

INSTABILITY CONTINUES TO INCREASE ACROSS MOST OF THE WRN SECTIONS
OF KS AT THIS TIME....WITH A COLD FRONT PUSHING INTO NW KS. THINK
NW KS WILL BE THE INITIATION POINT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AS THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY RUNS INTO THIS
UNSTABLE AIRMASS. THINK SOME SUPERCELLS WILL DEVELOP OVER THIS
AREA INITIALLY...KEEPING THE ICT FORECAST AREA DRY AT LEAST
THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.

THE HIGH PLAINS SUPERCELL STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PROPAGATE EAST
INTO CENTRAL KS LATE THIS EVENING BUT THEN CONGEAL AND DIVE
SOUTHEAST AS A FORWARD PROPAGATING MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM
(MCS) DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THIS MCS WILL ACTUALLY BECOME
MORE INTENSE RIGHT AROUND MIDNIGHT...AS THE LOW LEVEL JET
INCREASES MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO CENTRAL KS MAINLY BETWEEN
HIGHWAY 50 AND 56. CENTRAL KS STILL LOOKS LIKE THE AREA THAT WILL
SEE THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL OVERNIGHT...WITH ANOTHER ONE TO THREE
INCHES OF RAINFALL POSSIBLE...AS THE STRATIFORM RAIN AREA STAYS
OVER THIS AREA THE LONGEST. STEERING VECTORS SUGGEST THE LEADING
EDGE OF THE MCS WILL DIVE SOUTHEAST ALONG THE EDGE OF THE MOST
UNSTABLE CAPE...WHICH WILL BE LOCATED ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KS FROM
KGBD TO KICT TO KPNC. THIS LEADING EDGE OF THE STORMS WILL
PROBABLY REACH THE ICT METRO AREA BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 2AM. THIS
LEADING EDGE COULD LEAD TO A SWATH OF 60-65 MPH DAMAGING WINDS AS
IT DIVES SOUTHEAST INTO NRN OK. NOT EXPECTING A HIGH END
DERECHO...AS 0-10 KM BULK SHEAR REMAINS MARGINAL FOR A HIGH END
EVENT.

THU-FRI: BACK END OF THE MCS MAY STILL BE ONGOING ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE FLINT HILLS AND SE KS FOR THE MORNING HOURS ON THU. NOT
EXPECTING THE RAINS TO BE AS HEAVY IN THIS AREA...AS LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE TRANSPORT WANES AND VEERS SE INTO OK. AFTER THE MCS CLOUD
SHIED CLEARS THE AREA...EXPECT CLEARING SKIES AND A PLEASANT DAY
FOR THE REST OF THE AREA AS WEAK RIDGING MOVES INTO THE AREA FOR
THU AFTERNOON THROUGH FRI.

FRI-FRI NIGHT:
AFTER A PLEASANT DAY ON FRI...LOW-MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO
RETURN TO WRN KS FOR FRI NIGHT INTO SAT MORNING. THIS MID LEVEL WARM
ADVECTION WILL BE MAINLY OVER CENTRAL KS...MAINLY LEADING TO SOME
MID LEVEL CLOUDS...AS LOWER LAYERS WILL INITIALLY BE DRY.

SAT-SAT NIGHT:
SOME UNCERTAINTY ON HOW SAT WILL EVOLVE AS MID LEVEL FLOW SHIFTS
AROUND TO MORE OF A SW FLOW...WITH ANOTHER SURFACE LOW DEVELOPING
OVER THE OK PANHANDLE...WITH A DRY LINE EXPECTED TO FORM ACROSS WRN
KS. A WARM ELEVATED MIXED LAYER WILL CAP ANY KIND OF CONVECTION
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. ANY CONVECTION THAT CAN DEVELOP FOR SAT
AFTERNOON WILL REMAIN WELL WEST OF I-135 AND PROBABLY OVER WRN KS
CLOSER TO THE DRYLINE.

LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND WARM ADVECTION LOOKS TO REALLY
INCREASE ACROSS MOST OF THE WRN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR SAT
NIGHT.  MOST OF THIS DEEP RICH MOISTURE WILL BE FOCUSED FURTHER
NORTH OF THE AREA INTO NORTHEAST NE...BUT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET
INCREASES...THINK SOME STORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER AREAS WEST OF THE
KS TURNPIKE FOR SAT NIGHT. SO WILL KEEP A SOLID CHANCE POP GOING
FOR NOW. BULK SHEAR/DIRECTIONAL SHEAR AND INSTABILITY SAT
AFTERNOON AND SAT NIGHT BOTH SUGGESTS A SEVERE WEATHER CHANCE.

KETCHAM

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT WED JUN 11 2014

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOOKS PUSH TO AROUND THE KS TURNPIKE FOR
SUNDAY...WITH A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS EXPECTED ALONG OR JUST SOUTH
OF THE BOUNDARY FOR SUN AFTERNOON. CAPPING WARM AIR ALOFT WILL
AGAIN LIMIT CONVECTIVE CHANCES UNTIL THE LATE AFTERNOON
HOURS...BUT CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT WILL BE ENOUGH FOR A FEW
BIG STORMS TO FORM ALONG OR EAST OF THE KS TURNPIKE FOR SUN
EVENING. THE VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS COULD CERTAINLY LEAD TO A
SEVERE STORM CHANCE FOR THE FLINT HILLS FOR SUN EVENING.

SOME UNCERTAINTY ON HOW THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK WILL EVOLVE AS
WELL...AS MID LEVEL HEIGHTS SLOWLY BEGIN TO INCREASE...WHICH WILL
LEAD TO A WARMING TREND FOR THE FORECAST AREA INTO NEXT WEEK.
MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND MID LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE LOOKS TO WAGGLE
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FOR MON AND TUE...WHICH COULD LEAD TO MORE
NIGHTTIME SCATTERED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES.  BUT THE MEDIUM
RANGE MODELS SUGGEST THAT THE MID LEVEL BAROCLINIC WILL GRADUALLY
SHIFT A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH TOWARDS THE MIDDLE THE WEEK...BRINGING
LESSOR CHANCES OF STORMS FOR THE FORECAST AREA AND WARMER
TEMPS.

KETCHAM

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 652 PM CDT WED JUN 11 2014

A COMPLEX OF STRONG TO POTENTIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING
OVER WESTERN KANSAS IS EXPECTED TO TRACK EAST-SOUTHEAST ACROSS
CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. THE
STRONGEST STORMS SHOULD IMPACT AREAS ALONG/WEST OF THE TURNPIKE
THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT...WITH STORMS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AS THEY
MOVE ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS THURSDAY MORNING. WINDOW FOR BEST
TIMING OF TSRA CHANCES ARE INDICATED BY THE TEMPO GROUP IN THE
TERMINALS. GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL DEVELOP BEHIND THE CONVECTION
AND COLD FRONT PASSAGE.
