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.

The nearest sounding before it

Dodge City, (KDDC), launched 12:00Z, 10.7 hours before the alert went out and 195 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 3:25 PM CDT, 2 hours 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
325 PM CDT MON JUL 13 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 321 PM CDT MON JUL 13 2015

A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS CENTRAL KS MAY BECOME A
FOCUS FOR DEEP MOIST CONVECTION LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM GREAT BEND TO
MCPHERSON TO COTTONWOOD FALLS WHERE SCATTERED POPS WERE MAINTAINED.
LARGE TEMP/DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS/INVERTED-V SOUNDINGS MAY LEAD TO
SOME GUSTY WINDS WITH ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP BUT MARGINAL DEEP
LAYER SHEAR AROUND ~30 KTS SHOULD PRECLUDE MORE ORGANIZED SEVERE
STORMS ACROSS CENTRAL KS.

TUE-WED...IF STORM COVERAGE IS GREATER THAN ANTICIPATED...THE QUASI-
STATIONARY BOUNDARY MAY BE FORCED FURTHER SOUTH THAN
ANTICIPATED...BUT WITH LITTLE OR NO AIRMASS CHANGE ANTICIPATED
ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KS THE HEAT ADVISORY WILL
BE UPGRADED TO A WARNING FOR MULTIPLE CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF ADVISORY
CRITERIA. SOME STORMS MAY BE ONGOING DURING THE MORNING HOURS WITH
ADDITIONAL CHANCES DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS WITHIN A MOIST
EASTERLY FLOW REGIME ACROSS CENTRAL KS. THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE MAY
INCREASE TUESDAY NIGHT...AS A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE TROUGH LIFTS OVER THE
CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS REGION. LITTLE CHANGE IS ANTICIPATED ON
WED...HOWEVER LOWERED MAXIMUM TEMPS ACROSS CENTRAL KS WHERE ONGOING
STORMS/LIMITED INSOLATION SHOULD KEEP HIGHS IN THE LOWER 90S.
CONTINUED LOW LEVEL MOIST EASTERLY FLOW MAY RESULT IN DIURNAL
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ONCE AGAIN.

THU...COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN MORE LIMITED
ACROSS THE AREA ON THU AS LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR SUBSIDENCE IS
ANTICIPATED IN THE WAKE OF THE TROUGH MOVING OVER THE MID/UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AREA.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 321 PM CDT MON JUL 13 2015

THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IS PROGGED TO REMAIN SITUATED OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS STATES THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS WILL ALLOW THE
LOW/MID LVL THERMAL RIDGE TO REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PLAINS STATES WITH A CONTINUATION OF ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND
ONLY LOW PROBABILITIES FOR DEEP MOIST CONVECTION. BETTER CHANCES
FOR PRECIPITATION MAY ARRIVE TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD AS
ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES...BUT CONFIDENCE IN HOW FAR
SOUTH THE FRONT PROPAGATES REMAINS LOW.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1215 PM CDT MON JUL 13 2015

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THRU THE FORECAST VALID PERIOD.
A SURFACE TROF AND WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SAG SOUTHEAST ACROSS
CENTRAL KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WHICH WILL BE THE
FOCUS FOR ISOLATED CONVECTION. PLAN TO CARRY VCTS AT KRSL AND KSLN
AND AMEND WHEN AND IF NEEDED FOR ANY CONVECTION THAT MAY IMPACT
THESE TERMINALS. THIS BOUNDARY WILL LINGER ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS
INTO TUESDAY.
