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 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 May 10, 2:05 PM CDT, 2 hours 4 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 10, 2:05 PM CDT, 2 hours 4 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
205 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 205 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014

CONVECTIVE TRENDS AND SEVERE POTENTIAL ARE THE MAIN CONCERNS
FOR THE REMAINDER OF MOTHERS DAY WEEKEND. FOR THIS EVENING...A
WINDOW FOR SEVERE CONVECTION LOOMS ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS IN
THE VICINITY OF THE DEVELOPMENTAL SURFACE WARM FRONT. THE
LATEST SPC MESO PARAMETERS ARE SUPPORTIVE OF A SUPERCELL STORM
MODE WITH A SIGNAL FOR VERY LARGE HAIL AND EVEN A TORNADO. IF
INITIATION IS EARLY ENOUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON...THIS COULD
IMPACT PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE FLINT HILLS. AN
ISOLATED STORM IS ALSO POSSIBLE FURTHER WEST ALONG THE DRY-LINE
ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. OTHERWISE...THE BETTER FOCUS FOR
SEVERE CONVECTION SHOULD SHIFT NORTHWARD WITH THE WARM FRONT
LATER THIS EVENING AND MAINLY NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA AFTER
MIDNIGHT.

FOCUS THEN SHIFTS TO SUNDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AS THE STRONG
COLD FRONT OVERTAKES THE DRY-LINE ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS.
INTENSE SURFACE HEATING WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND 90F WILL
LEAD TO A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS JUST EAST OF THE FRONT...WITH
VERY IMPRESSIVE DEEP LAYER SHEAR. WHILE THE ENVIRONMENT WILL
BE SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELLS IN THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF STORM
INITIATION...FLOW ALOFT BECOMING MORE PARALLEL WITH THE
COLD FRONT SHOULD TEND TO RESULT IN TRANSITION TO A LINEAR
MODE AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES ON SUNDAY. THAT SAID...BESIDES
THE RISK FOR SUPERCELL TORNADOES AND LARGE HAIL...A TORNADO
RISK COULD CONTINUE WITH THE TRANSITION TO A QUASI-LINEAR
MODE...ESPECIALLY PREFERENTIALLY ON THE SOUTHERN MOST CELLS
AS THEY DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT. THE SEVERE RISK SHOULD
DIMINISH ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND HOPEFULLY MUCH OF CENTRAL AND
SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS WILL EXPERIENCE MORE NUMEROUS COVERAGE
OF CONVECTION FOR MUCH NEEDED RAINFALL.

MUCH COOLER WEATHER IS STILL ON TAP FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK AS
THE MEAN LONGWAVE UPPER TROF SLOWLY MIGRATES EAST ACROSS THE
PLAINS. LINGERING PRECIP WILL MAINLY AFFECT FAR EASTERN KANSAS
ON MONDAY WITH DRY WEATHER FOR ALL AREAS ON TUESDAY.

DARMOFAL

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 205 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014

LITTLE CHANGE TO THE OUTER PERIODS OF THE FORECAST WITH A
COOL AND GENERALLY DRY WEATHER PATTERN AS THE DEEP UPPER
LONGWAVE MIGRATES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ACROSS THE
EASTERN CONUS.

KED

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1257 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014

THE STUBBORN STRATUS OVER SE KS HAS FINALLY DISSIPATED. THERE ARE
NO CONCERNS UNTIL THIS EVENING WHEN ISOLD TSRA MAY DEVELOP OVER SE
KS. THE ISOLD NATURE DICTATES KEEPING VCTS OUT OF KCNU...FOR NOW.
SCT/WDLY SCT TSRA ARE POSSIBLE OVER PART OF CNTRL KS (NAMELY KSLN)
06-09Z WHERE CLOSEST TO MOIST CONVERGENT AXIS ALONG DEVELOPING E-W
ORIENTED WARM FRONT. AS THE WARM FRONT APPROACHES THE KS/NEBRASKA
BORDER THE TSRA SHOULD LIKEWISE BECOME MORE NUMEROUS BUT N OF KSLN
& KRSL. HAVE LEFT SUCH MENTION OUT OF BOTH TERMINALS BUT WOULD
REQUIRE ATTENTION ON THIS EVENING WITH 11/00Z & 11/06Z EDITIONS.
AS THE WRN PLAINS SFC CYCLONE DRIFTS E ACROSS THE TX/OK PANHANDLES
HIGH OCTANE LWR-DECK MOISTURE WILL SURGE N OVER PRIMARILY SC & SE
KS WHERE IFR CIGS ARE LIKELY VERY LATE TONIGHT/VERY EARLY SUN
MORNING.

ES

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 205 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014

STRONG SOUTH WINDS AND VERY WARM TEMPERATURES AHEAD OF A STRONG
COLD FRONT ON SUNDAY WILL ELEVATE THE GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER INTO
THE VERY HIGH AND POSSIBLY EXTREME CATEGORY DURING THE AFTERNOON
ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KANSAS. SOME UNCERTAINTY EXISTS AS TO
THE MOVEMENT AND TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT...SO CONFIDENCE IS LOW
TO ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER HEADLINE AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER IF CURRENT
EXPECTATIONS HOLD...THEN A RED FLAG WARNING AND WIND ADVISORY MAY
BE ISSUED WITH THE NEXT ROUTINE FORECAST UPDATE EARLY SUNDAY.
