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 7, 6:49 PM CDT, 2 hours 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 7, 6:49 PM CDT, 2 hours 40 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
649 PM CDT TUE APR 7 2015

...UPDATED FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 323 PM CDT TUE APR 7 2015

THIS EVENING-TONIGHT: WEAK LOW PRESSURE AREA IS CURRENTLY OVER
EASTERN KS AT THIS TIME...WITH A WEAK COLD FRONT PUSHING INTO
AREAS JUST OF THE EAST OF THE FLINT HILLS IN SE KS. A VERY
UNSTABLE AIRMASS IS IN PLACE AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY WITH SBCAPE
VALUES OF 3500-400 J/KG. MOST OF SOUTHEAST KS IS BECOMING
UNCAPPED....SO THINK SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER
THIS AREA THIS EVENING BY AROUND 23- 24Z. WITH UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN
PLACE AND BULK SHEAR VALUES AROUND 40 KTS...THINK A FEW SUPERCELLS
WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS SE KS THIS EVENING WITH LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS THE MAIN CONCERN. THINK THE TORNADO THREAT APPEARS
TO DIMINISHING RAPIDLY AS SURFACE WINDS REMAIN OUT OF THE
SW...WITH BETTER 0-1KM SHEAR PUSHING INTO SW MO.

AS THE LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES ALONG THE KS/OK BORDER LATE THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...THINK STORMS WILL ZIPPER BACK SW ALONG THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY AS IT PUSHES OR STALLS OVER SOUTHERN KS.  COULD SEE
SOME STORMS AS FAR BACK WEST AS I-35. COULD SEE SOME ELEVATED SEVERE
STORMS WITH THIS CONVECTION...WITH LARGE HAIL THE MAIN CONCERN.

WEDNESDAY: FOCUS QUICKLY TURNS TO TOMORROW AS STALLED BOUNDARY
COMES BACK QUICKLY TO THE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT...AS SW FLOW ALOFT
KEEPS MOST OF THE AREA IN STRONG LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN. THIS
MOISTURE RETURN WILL INITIALLY LEAD TO A MORNING DRIZZLE CHANCE
FOR MOST AREAS. SO A RATHER CLOUDY AND DRIZZLY MORNING.

WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE NORTH FOR THE DAYTIME
HOURS...STALLING OVER CENTRAL KS...WITH A DRYLINE EXPECTED TO PUSH
EAST ACROSS SW KS INTO SOUTH CENTRAL KS FOR WED AFTERNOON.  SOME
MODEL DIFFERENCES ON THE PLACEMENT OF THE DRYLINE...BUT EXPECT IT TO
BE GENERALLY LOCATED FROM GREAT BEND TO ANTHONY.

STILL LOOKING AT A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT FOR PORTIONS OF
SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS FOR WED AFTERNOON INTO WED EVENING...AS BULGE
IN THE DRYLINE PUSHES INTO AREAS JUST TO THE WEST OF THE KICT AND
KHUT METRO AREAS. INITIAL SHORTWAVE PUSHES OUT INTO THE PLAINS FOR
THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS WED WHICH WILL HELP STORMS DEVELOP.  BULK
SHEAR OF 45-50 KTS AND MLCAPE VALUES OF 2200-2500 J/KG SUGGESTS ANY
STORM THAT DEVELOPS WILL RAPIDLY BECOME SEVERE. NOT EXPECTING STORMS
TO BE WIDESPREAD...WITH MORE DISCRETE/ISOLATED SUPERCELLS. BUT
CERTAINLY THINK THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT THREAT OF VERY LARGE HAIL OF
2 INCHES OR GREATER AND DAMAGING STRAIGHT WINDS.  0-3KM SHEAR ALSO
SUGGESTS A TORNADO THREAT...ESPECIALLY AS LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES
AND SURFACE WINDS VEER SOME FORM THE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST BY AROUND 23-
24Z.  0-8KM SHEAR SUGGESTS ANY TORNADO THAT DEVELOPS...MAY END UP
STAYING ON THE GROUND FOR AWHILE...WITH A POSSIBLE STRONG TORNADO.

THINK AREAS ACROSS CENTRAL KS MAY STAY NORTH OF THE WARM
FRONT...WHICH MAY LEAD TO AN ELEVATED STORM OR TWO CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING LARGE HAIL...OTHERWISE MAINLY SOME OFF AND ON
SHOWERS/STORMS FOR WED EVENING.

STORMS WILL TRACK EAST WED NIGHT AND AFFECT AREAS EAST OF INTERSTATE
135. THE UPPER SHORTWAVE WILL QUICKLY PUSH EAST AND WILL BE OVER
WESTERN IA BY THU EVENING. THIS WILL ALLOW THE FRONT TO QUICKLY
SLIDE EAST WITH ONLY SE KS HAVING A SHOT AT STORMS THU MORNING.

THURSDAY: SOME UNCERTAINTY ON HOW THU WILL PLAY OUT...AS SOME
LINGERING MORNING CONVECTION WILL STILL BE AROUND ON THU. BUT MOST
AREAS WEST OF THE KS TURNPIKE WILL SEE A NICE DAY WITH DRIER AIR
MOVING INTO THE AREA. COULD SEE A LINGERING CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHEAST KS ON THU...BUT THINK CHANCE WILL BE
SHORT LIVED...AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHES RAPIDLY SOUTHEAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA BY THU AFTERNOON INTO THU EVENING.

FRIDAY: EXPECT PLEASANT WEATHER FOR FRI...AS A LARGE RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE PLAINS WITH SEASONAL TEMPS.

KETCHAM

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 323 PM CDT TUE APR 7 2015

ZONAL FLOW WILL ALLOW THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO BEGIN STREAMING BACK
TO THE NORTH LATE FRI NIGHT INTO SAT.  THIS INCREASED LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AND ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL LEAD TO INCREASED CHANCES OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER WRN KS LATE FRI NIGHT...WITH SOME OF
THE CONVECTION POSSIBLY SPILLING INTO CENTRAL KS BY SAT MORNING.

THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND INCREASED ISENTROPIC LIFT LOOKS TO SHIFT
EAST OVER THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA FOR THE DAYTIME HOURS SAT.  THIS
WILL LEAD TO A RATHER RAINY/STORMY DAY FOR SAT AS THETA-E ADVECTION
KEEP SCATTERED SHOWERS AND SOME STORMS AROUND.  THINK ANY SEVERE
CHANCES ON SAT WILL STAY SOUTHWEST OF THE AREA IN WRN OK.

PATTERN STARTS TO LOOK MORE INTERESTING FOR SUN AS A LOW PRESSURE
AREA DEVELOPS OVER SW KS...WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AVAILABLE ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR SUN
AFTERNOON. CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER SEVERE WEATHER CHANCE FOR
SUN AFTERNOON/EVENING.

KETCHAM

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 635 PM CDT TUE APR 7 2015

IFR/LIFR POST-FRONTAL STRATUS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP SOUTHWARD
OVER CENTRAL KANSAS THIS EVENING WHILE ARRIVING OVER SOUTH CENTRAL
KANSAS MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST...WIDELY
SCATTERED STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG A STATIONARY
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THIS ACTIVITY WILL QUICKLY BECOME SEVERE
POSSIBLY IMPACTING KCNU THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. THERE IS ALSO
SOME CONCERN THAT ELEVATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS AFTER 03-05Z ALONG THE NOSE OF A LLJ.
THIS ACTIVITY IS MORE UNCERTAIN. LOW CIGS MAY LINGER THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS BEFORE MIXING OUT FROM WEST TO EAST. ANOTHER ROUND
OF SEVERE STORMS IS BECOMING MORE LIKELY ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
KANSAS WEDNESDAY EVENING.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 323 PM CDT TUE APR 7 2015

THE MOST CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER DAY THROUGH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE
LOOKS TO BE THURSDAY.

EVEN WITH RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER WILL BE
IN PLACE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND PARTS OF SE KS WED DUE TO
STRONG SOUTH WINDS. WINDS WILL FLIP AROUND TO THE WEST AND
NORTHWEST ON THU AT SPEEDS IN THE 20-30 MPH RANGE BY AFTERNOON
HOURS. RH'S THU AFTERNOON WILL BE IN THE 30-40% RANGE.
