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 10, 9:22 PM CDT, 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 9:22 PM CDT, 56 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
922 PM CDT SUN APR 10 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 236 PM CDT SUN APR 10 2016

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A CIRCULATION OVER THE DESERT SW WITH
MORE ROBUST SHORTWAVE ENERGY DIVING SOUTHEAST ACROSS NORTHERN MN.
AT THE SURFACE...COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM SOUTHERN MN...INTO
NORTHERN KS AND BECOMES A DRYLINE THROUGH THE OK/TX PANHANDLE.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 921 PM CDT SUN APR 10 2016

INITIAL WAVE THAT MOVED NE OUT OF WRN OK...HAS LED TO A LINE OF
SHOWERS/STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG THE MAIN SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT AT THIS
TIME. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND LOW LEVEL JET HELPING TO
INTENSIFY THIS LINE OF STORMS...WITH MUCAPE VALUES OF 1000-1500 J/KG
AIDING SOME SEVERE STORMS.  THINK THE SEVERE THREAT WILL CONTINUE IN
THE CURRENT WATCH AREA...AS LOW LEVEL JET CONTINUES TO FEED UNSTABLE
AIR INTO THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WITH BULK SHEAR AROUND 45 KTS.
EXPECT THE SEVERE THREAT TO WANE AFTER MIDNIGHT...WITH TRAINING
STORMS POSSIBLY POSING A HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT FOR COUNTIES ALONG
THE KS/OK BORDER.

AM A LITTLE CONCERNED HOW FAR NORTH ANY ADDITIONAL CONVECTION WILL
GET OVERNIGHT...AS LOW LEVEL JET FEEDS CURRENT AREA OF
STORMS...KEEPING ANY ELEVATED CONVECTION FROM DEVELOPING FURTHER
NORTH.  WILL KEEP THE HIGHEST POPS GOING FOR AREAS SE OF THE KS
TURNPIKE....WITH A SHARP GRADIENT TO THE POPS TO THE NW OF THIS
AREA. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY IF THE ICT METRO AREA SEE ANY
CONVECTION OVERNIGHT...GIVEN THE REASONS STATED ABOVE.

KETCHAM

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 236 PM CDT SUN APR 10 2016

STORMS ARE STILL EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE SOUTHWARD MOVING
FRONT LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND POSSIBLY CLOSER TO SUNSET. EVEN IF A
FEW STORMS DEVELOP AFTER 4PM...CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT COVERAGE
WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD ONCE THE LOW LEVEL FLOW BACKS AND
INCREASES AFTER 00Z. ONE OF THE CONSISTENT MODEL THEMES HAS BEEN
TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF CONVECTION OVER SOUTH CENTRAL KS IN
RESPONSE TO THIS BACKED LOW LEVEL JET. STILL LOOKS LIKE LARGE HAIL
AND WET MICROBURST WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH STORMS THIS
EVENING. ALSO CANT RULE OUT A FEW FLOOD WARNING FOR COUNTIES BORDERING
OK ALONG WITH SE KS...ESPECIALLY IF WE CAN GET SOME BACKBUILDING
OVER FAR SOUTH CENTRAL KS. BEST SEVERE THREAT STILL LOOKS TO BE
SOUTHEAST OF THE KS TURNPIKE.

MAY SEE A COUPLE AREAS OF RAINFALL LATE TONIGHT. ONE WILL
OBVIOUSLY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT AND LOW LEVEL JET
INTERACTIONS...BUT FEEL THERE MAYBE ANOTHER AREA OVER CENTRAL KS
THE RESULT OF MID LEVEL WARM ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC LIFT. WOULD NOT
BE SURPRISED TO SEE THIS AREA OF PRECIP OVER CENTRAL KS LAST INTO
MON MORNING...BEFORE QUICKLY DISSIPATING AS THE AFTERNOON HOURS
APPROACH. ANY CONVECTION OVER SOUTH CENTRAL AND SE KS SHOULD ALSO
QUICKLY COME TO AN END MON AFTERNOON INTO EARLY MON EVENING.

BELOW NORMAL TEMPS WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION ON MON BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT AS HIGHS TOP OUT AROUND 60. WET GROUNDS MAY ALSO HELP
TO HOLD TEMPS DOWN MON.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 236 PM CDT SUN APR 10 2016

STILL GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT THAT ANOTHER IMPULSE WILL MOVE OUT OF
THE DESERT SW AND ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TUE NIGHT INTO WED.
ANY PRECIP WITH THIS FEATURE IS STILL EXPECTED TO REMAIN SOUTH OF
THE FORECAST AREA. ATTENTION WILL THEN TURN TO A MUCH MORE ROBUST WAVE
TO START DIGGING OVER THE WESTERN CONUS WED NIGHT INTO THU. IN
RESPONSE...RETURN FLOW WILL COMMENCE ACROSS THE PLAINS AND WILL
GET US BACK TO NORMAL HIGHS BY THU WITH WARMING CONTINUING INTO
THE WEEKEND. UNLIKE THE LAST FEW DAYS...THERE IS DECENT MODEL
AGREEMENT THROUGH SAT...WITH BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS CLOSING THIS
SYSTEM OFF OVER NORTHERN NM/SOUTHERN CO AND LEAVING IT THERE
THROUGH AT LEAST SUN NIGHT IF NOT LONGER. THIS SCENARIO WOULD
RESULT IN INCREASED RAIN CHANCES FRI AND ESPECIALLY FOR THE
WEEKEND...BUT THE BIGGEST IMPACT RESULTING FROM PRECIP MAYBE FOR
THE FRONT RANGE.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 633 PM CDT SUN APR 10 2016

A COLD FRONT HAS OOZED SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...CURRENTLY LOCATED JUST TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE KS
TURNPIKE. TCU DEVELOPING JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL LIKELY LEAD TO
SHRA/TSRA ALONG THE FRONT IN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO...AS A WAVE IN WRN
OK LIFTS NE ALONG THE BOUNDARY...HELPING TO WEAKEN THE CAP. SO
EXPECT SHOWERS/STORMS OVER INITIALLY OVER SE KS. PLAN ON GOING WITH
VCTS AND THEN PREVAILING SHRA VCTS FOR KCNU AS THIS AREA MAY SEE A
COUPLE OF ROUNDS OF CONVECTION. MAY ALSO SEE SOME MVFR CIGS NEAR THE
STRONGEST STORMS.

AS THE NIGHTTIME WEARS ON...LOW LEVEL JET WILL LEAD TO ALOT OF LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE OVERRUNNING THE STALLED BOUNDARY IN SRN KS...WITH
MORE WIDESPREAD ELEVATED CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT...EVEN FOR
AREAS NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY NEAR KICT/KHUT AND POSSIBLY AS FAR NORTH
AS KSLN AND KGBD. SO WILL GO WITH VCTS FOR THESE LOCATIONS FOR THE
OVERNIGHT INTO THE EARLY MON MORNING HOURS.

EXPECT THE SHOWERS/STORMS TO DIMINISH BY AROUND 09-10Z/MON AND BY
AROUND SUNRISE IN SE KS.

KETCHAM

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 236 PM CDT SUN APR 10 2016

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE...THE FIRE DANGER CONCERNS WILL BE
MINIMAL THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

COOL AND WET CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED MON BEHIND THE FRONT WHICH
WILL RESULT IN NO FIRE WEATHER THREAT. WINDS WILL COME AROUND TO
THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST FOR TUE BUT WILL REMAIN IN THE 10 TO 14
MPH RANGE. IN ADDITION...COOL TEMPS WILL KEEP RH'S IN CHECK
PROVIDING A DECENT DAY TO BURN. NOT MUCH IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE FOR
WED WITH WINDS REMAINING OUT OF THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST AND WILL
INCREASE SLIGHTLY INTO THE 10 TO 16 MPH...WITH THE HIGHER SPEEDS
WEST OF I-135. RH VALUES WILL AGAIN BE ON THE HIGHER SIDE DUE TO
COOLER TEMPS.
