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 Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 7, 3:47 PM CDT, 1 hour 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 7, 3:47 PM CDT, 1 hour 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
347 PM CDT THU MAY 7 2015

...UPDATED FOR SHORT TERM...

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 342 PM CDT THU MAY 7 2015

SOUTHWESTERLY UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL PERSIST INTO FRIDAY AHEAD OF AN
UPPER LOW MOVING TOWARD THE FOUR CORNERS REGION. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
IS RUNNING NEAR LARNED TO DODGE CITY AND LIBERAL WITH SOME
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG THE BOUNDARY. THIS FRONT WILL SLOWLY
LIFT NORTHWARD INTO TONIGHT. MORE THUNDERSTORMS MAY FORM IN EASTERN
COLORADO AND MOVE INTO WESTERN KANSAS LATER TONIGHT. AS CONVECTION
MOVES ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS LATE TONIGHT, THE FRONT IS FORECAST
TO DROP SOUTH TOWARDS MORNING INTO OKLAHOMA AND STALL OUT. NUMEROUS
THUNDERSTORMS ARE AGAIN FORECAST INTO FRIDAY WITH MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW
NORTH OF THE FRONT.

FOR TONIGHT, SOME THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE SEVERE WITH HAIL UP TO
QUARTERS, POSSIBLY LARGER FAR WEST TOWARDS THE COLORADO BORDER. THE
BOUNDARY LAYER SHEAR IS FAIRLY WEAK, HOWEVER THE MID TO UPPER LEVEL
WINDS ARE STRONGER THAN YESTERDAY. STORMS TO THE SOUTH ACROSS TEXAS
AND OKLAHOMA HAVE HELPED TO STABILIZE THE AIRMASS SOMEWHAT, SO NOT
EXPECTING WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS. CAPES FORECAST FROM 1500 TO
2000 J/KG. WINDS WILL BECOME VARIABLE THEN EASTERLY AROUND 10 MPH
TONIGHT. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S. SOME LOW
STRATUS AND LIGHT FOG MAY ALSO DEVELOP ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN
KANSAS BY MORNING WITH THE MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW.

FOR FRIDAY, UPSLOPE FLOW WILL CONTINUE WITH CLOUDY SKIES BECOMING
PARTLY CLOUDY WITH THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN FORMING. FORECAST CAPES ARE
AROUND 2000 J/KG BY AFTERNOON. DECENT SHEAR PROFILE IS IN PLACE WITH
GOOD BACKING OF LOW LEVEL WINDS AND MID LEVELS AROUND 50KT. A BIG
NEGATIVE FACTOR FOR SEVERE, IS THE AREA COULD BE CAPPED WITH LOTS OF
CLOUDS FORECAST NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE LOW TO
MID 70S.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 224 PM CDT THU MAY 7 2015

AN INTENSE SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL PROGRESS FROM CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
INTO EASTERN COLORADO BY SATURDAY AND THEN LIFT NORTHEASTWARD IN
NEGATIVE TILT FASHION SATURDAY EVENING. AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES,
THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR PROFILE WILL INCREASE DRAMATICALLY GIVEN
SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS ON THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS AND INCREASING
MID TO HIGH LEVEL WINDS. THIS WILL LEAD TO GOOD CHANCES OF
THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY, SOME OF WHICH COULD BE SEVERE WITH VERY
LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES. THE DETAILS OF WHAT HAPPENS SATURDAY
WILL DEPEND ON THE EVOLUTION OF STORM CLUSTERS ACROSS NORTH TEXAS
AND OKLAHOMA FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING, WHICH WILL IMPACT
WHETHER THE TRUE WARM SECTOR MAKES IT THIS FAR NORTH. GIVEN THAT
VERY RICH MOISTURE CURRENTLY RESIDING OVER TEXAS SHOULD MAKE IT
INTO SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS INCLUDING PRATT, ST JOHN AND MEDICINE
LODGE BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON, THIS IS WHERE THE BEST CHANCE OF
HIGH-END SEVERE WEATHER MAY BE. HIGH TEMPERATURES SATURDAY WILL
DEPEND ON HOW WIDESPREAD CONVECTION IS AND HOW MUCH CLEARING
TAKES PLACE. AFTERNOON READINGS IN THE 70S OUTSIDE OF
THUNDERSTORMS IS MOST LIKELY, WITH LOWS IN THE 50S AND 60S.

AFTER THE AFOREMENTIONED SHORTWAVE TROUGH PASSES SATURDAY NIGHT,
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH WESTERN KANSAS LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY. HIGHS ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL
ONLY BE IN THE 60S TO LOWER 70S AND 60S RESPECTIVELY. LOWS BY
MONDAY MORNING WILL LIKELY BE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 30S IN FAR
WESTERN KANSAS. WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER READINGS FARTHER EAST.
TUESDAY MORNING WILL BE CHILLY AS WELL AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
LINGERS.

A WARMING TREND CAN BE EXPECTED BY MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK AS UPPER
LEVEL HEIGHTS RISE ACROSS THE ROCKIES, ALONG WITH WEAK LEE
TROUGHING THAT WILL REPLACE THE COOL SURFACE HIGH. LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL INCREASE AS WELL, SO ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY CANNOT BE RULED OUT STARTING WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1229 PM CDT THU MAY 7 2015

A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE NEAR DODGE CITY TO GARDEN CITY AND
HAYS WITH VARIABLE WINDS BECOMING EASTERLY AND SOUTHEASTERLY LATE.
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE BOUNDARY AFTER 22-00Z.
SOME LOW STRATUS AND FOG WITH IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE AFTER 09Z.
