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 Apr 2, 11:18 PM CDT, 31 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 2, 11:18 PM CDT, 31 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
1118 PM CDT THU APR 2 2015

...UPDATED FOR 06Z AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 331 PM CDT THU APR 2 2015

MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE IS CONVECTIVE CHANCES/TRENDS TONIGHT
INTO FRIDAY MORNING. THE QUASI-STATIONARY SURFACE FRONT HAS
NUDGED A BIT NORTHWARD AT MID-AFTERNOON ACROSS SOUTHEAST
KANSAS TO NEAR WINFIELD IN SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. DIURNAL
HEATING WILL RESULT IN MLCAPE VALUES AROUND 2000 J/KG IN THE
PRESENCE OF STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
WHILE THE CAP CONTINUES TO WEAKEN IT MAY NOT BE UNTIL EARLY
EVENING BEFORE CONVECTION INITIATES IN RESPONSE TO INCREASING
LOW LEVEL FLOW AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING UPPER TROF. A PERIOD
OF SEVERE WEATHER IS POSSIBLE THROUGH MID-EVENING FOR AREAS
MAINLY EAST AND SOUTHEAST OF WICHITA. SOME OF THIS CONVECTION
WILL FESTER INTO LATE EVENING...BEFORE ANOTHER ROUND OF
ELEVATED CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO EMANATE FROM THE HIGH
PLAINS AND MOVE EAST-SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS OVERNIGHT.
THIS ACTIVITY WILL ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR MARGINALLY
SEVERE HAIL AND WIND...BEFORE TRACKING INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS
BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.

BRISK NORTH WINDS WILL DRIVE MUCH COOLER AND DRIER AIR ACROSS
THE AREA DURING FRIDAY...WITH THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLING OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS FRIDAY NIGHT. SOME
PATCHY FROST IS POSSIBLE...THOUGH NO HEADLINES ARE PLANNED
AS WE ARE STILL ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AWAY FROM OUR USUAL AVERAGE
LAST FROST/FREEZE CLIMATOLOGY IN MANY AREAS. MILDER SOUTHERLY
WINDS WILL DEVELOP FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND WITH MAXS
CLOSER TO SEASONAL CLIMO.

DARMOFAL

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 331 PM CDT THU APR 2 2015

THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A MEAN UPPER TROF
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK
WITH AN INCREASINGLY MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS FAR EASTERN
KANSAS. LITTLE CHANGE TO THE GOING FORECAST WILL BE MADE
WITH MODEST PRECIP/CONVECTIVE CHANCES TIED TO THE EVENTUAL
EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE UPPER TROF OR PIECES THEREOF IN
THE WEST-SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND POTENTIAL FOR A COLD FRONT
TO VENTURE INTO THE AREA BY MID-WEEK.

KED

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1110 PM CDT THU APR 2 2015

CLUSTER OF STRONG-SEVERE STORMS WILL MOVE EAST-SOUTHEAST ACROSS
CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS OVERNIGHT. THIS CLUSTER WILL AFFECT
HUT PRIOR TO 06Z...AND POSSIBLY ICT AND CNU FROM 06Z-09Z GIVEN IT
HOLDS TOGETHER. STRONG/VARIABLE WIND GUSTS AND HAIL COULD
ACCOMPANY THIS CLUSTER.

A PRESSURE RISE POCKET OF 4 TO 7 MB PER 3 HOURS WILL SLIDE ACROSS
CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS OVERNIGHT...PRODUCING VERY GUSTY
NORTHERLY WINDS. PEAK GUSTS OF 35-40 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED. AREAS OF
MVFR CEILINGS APPEAR LIKELY BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING IN ASSOCIATION
WITH STRATIFORM PRECIPITATION MOVING ACROSS NEBRASKA AND NORTHERN
KANSAS OVERNIGHT AND STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION. SKIES SHOULD CLEAR
OUT TOWARD MIDDAY INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS STRONG SUBSIDENCE SETS
IN.

JMC

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 331 PM CDT THU APR 2 2015

INCREASING CHANCES FOR RAIN FROM SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL GIVE
SOME AREAS BENEFICIAL WETTING RAINS TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY.
BEST CHANCES APPEAR TO BE OVER CENTRAL INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS.
HOWEVER...THINGS WILL DRY OUT AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND...WITH
GUSTY SOUTH WINDS HELPING TO ELEVATE THE GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER
INTO THE VERY HIGH CATEGORY...PRIMARILY FROM THE FLINT HILLS
WESTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS.
