|---|---|---|---|

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
Topeka, KS (KFOE), launched 00:00Z, 4.8 hours before the alert went out and 172 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.

RITZMANWhat 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 Aug 22, 6:24 PM CDT, 5 hours 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 22, 6:24 PM CDT, 5 hours 24 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 624 PM CDT SAT AUG 22 2015 ...UPDATED FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION... .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY) ISSUED AT 317 PM CDT SAT AUG 22 2015 FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS THE NEXT 7 DAYS FOCUS AROUND STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THIS EVENING-TONIGHT...COOL DOWN SUNDAY- MONDAY...WITH NEAR NORMAL TO SEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. PRECIPITATION CHANCES MAY INCREASE ONCE AGAIN MID TO LATE WEEK. DESPITE BEST HEIGHT FALLS/LARGE SCALE ASCENT REMAINING NORTH OF THE REGION...ANTICIPATING ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP TOWARD 6-7PM GENERALLY NORTHWEST OF GREAT BEND-SALINA...AS A STRONG AND DEEP COLD FRONT SURGES SOUTHEAST ACROSS MID- AMERICA...EFFECTIVELY ELIMINATING THE STOUT CAP IN PLACE. STRONG HEATING...RICH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND STEEP MID- LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL CONTRIBUTE TO STRONG MLCAPE VALUES AROUND 3500 J/KG...WITH MODEST MID/UPPER FLOW CONTRIBUTING TO AROUND 35 KTS DEEP LAYER SHEAR. GIVEN THE INSTABILITY...THIS WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE STORMS. THINKING INITIAL ACTIVITY WILL HAVE POTENTIAL TO BE DISCRETE FOR A FEW HOURS...FAVORING VERY LARGE LARGE HAIL (GIVEN "FAT CAPE" SOUNDINGS) AND DAMAGING WINDS...ALONG WITH AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLOODING. ADDITIONALLY...CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW ISOLATED LANDSPOUT TORNADOES WITH THIS INITIAL ACTIVITY...GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSIVE UPDRAFTS ATOP A VORTICITY-RICH LOW-LEVEL AIRMASS ALONG THE COLD FRONT. BY MID-LATE EVENING AND BEYOND...EXPECT SOUTHEASTWARD MOVING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO BEGIN CONSOLIDATING INTO ONE OR MORE LINEAR CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES GIVEN THE STRONG/DEEP FRONTAL FORCING. THIS WILL DECREASE THE LARGE HAIL THREAT...BUT THE DAMAGING WIND THREAT SHOULD CONTINUE INTO SOUTHERN/SOUTHEAST/EASTERN KS WILL INTO THE EVENING AND POSSIBLY PAST MIDNIGHT...GIVEN THE MODEST MID-LEVEL FLOW FROM THE WEST-NORTHWEST AND DECENT LOW-LEVEL SHEAR VECTORS ORIENTED PERPENDICULAR TO THE FRONT. ADDITIONALLY...AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL REMAIN A THREAT AS WELL...ESPECIALLY WITH ANY POTENTIAL BACK-BUILDING ACTIVITY ON THE WESTERN EXTENT OF THE CONVECTION. IN WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM...COOLER CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES SOUTH ACROSS THE HEARTLAND. THINKING PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE LOW...HOWEVER THE NAM ATTEMPTS TO GENERATE LIGHT PRECIPITATION NEAR THE OKLAHOMA BORDER SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...NEAR A LINGERING 700-600MB BAROCLINIC ZONE. LEFT FORECAST DRY FOR NOW THOUGH...AS LOW-LEVELS REMAIN FAIRLY DRY AND OTHER MODELS DO NOT SUPPORT THE NAM SOLUTION. ADK .LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 317 PM CDT SAT AUG 22 2015 FROM TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEEK'S END...THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN OF A WESTERN CONUS RIDGE AND EASTERN CONUS TROUGH WILL KEEP THE REGION UNDERNEATH NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...AND IN THE VICINITY OF A PERSISTENT 800-600MB BAROCLINIC ZONE. CONSEQUENTLY...THINKING OFF- AND-ON SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE POSSIBLE FROM TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY...AND ESPECIALLY LATE WEEK. SPECIFICS ARE UNCLEAR THIS FAR OUT...SO ONLY WENT 20-40 POPS FOR NOW. IF GFS/ECMWF CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE THIS SCENARIO THOUGH...I COULD SEE LATER SHIFTS INCREASING POPS. CONTINUING INFLUENCE FROM WESTERN FRINGES OF CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR INCREASED CLOUD COVER SHOULD SUPPORT NEAR TO BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S. ADK && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY EVENING) ISSUED AT 619 PM CDT SAT AUG 22 2015 GOING FORECAST STILL ON TRACK WITH ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS ALL SITES EARLY IN THIS PERIOD. BRIEF MVFR CONDITIOSN IN THUNDERSTORMS/HEAVY RAIN AND VERY GUSTY WINDS LIKELY. AS FRONT ENCOUNTERS BETTER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...CHANCES FOR MVFR CEILINGS TO LINGER BEHIND STORMS/FRONT WILL INCREASE... MOST LIKELY AT KCNU...AND POSSIBLY AT KICT. MODELS SUGGEST SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE IN THE AREA DURING THE DAY ON SUN... BUT DRY/MVFR CONDITIONS STILL EXPECTED. -HOWERTON && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
