The radar

The Wichita radar (KICT), 57 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 06:35 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

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, 6.6 hours before the alert went out and 170 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.

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 Jul 12, 12:54 AM CDT, 41 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 12, 12:54 AM CDT, 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
1254 AM CDT TUE JUL 12 2016

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1254 AM CDT Tue Jul 12 2016

Strong elevated low level moisture transport will continue to
fuel strong to marginally severe storms the next few hours across
central Kansas where deep layer shear is marginally strong enough
to support organized deep updrafts. A few stronger updrafts could
also develop across southern Kansas, though these cells will
continue to battle warmer mid-level temperatures on edge of
stronger cap just southwest of greater Wichita.

Darmofal

.UPDATE...
Issued at 929 PM CDT Mon Jul 11 2016

Cold frontal boundary located across across North Central KS at this
time.  Not alot of convergence along the boundary, so just a few
storms in KS so far. Expect this boundary to make slow progress into
Central KS late this evening and overnight. To the south of this
boundary, low level moisture transport and mid level warm advection
will increase across the OK panhandle into SW KS eventually
streaming over the top of the this surface boundary late tonight.
Increased convergence from the low level jet will probably lead to
convection along the boundary becoming more numerous after midnight.
Especially for areas along and north of highway 56. Current likely
pops look a little overdone, given lack of upper level support to
get widespread convection going.  So will adjust pops down some.
Will also adjust southward progression with slower arrival of the
front into Central KS.

Ketcham

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday night)
Issued at 235 PM CDT Mon Jul 11 2016

An approaching cold front will provide a focus for deep moist
convection this afternoon and evening across central KS. MLCAPES
exceeding 3000 J/KG and modest 0-6km bulk shear around 30 kts will
support some strong and severe storms this evening...mainly across
central KS. As you move south and east away from the
front...convective inhibition will be difficult to erode given the
warm elevated mixed layer. A developing LLJ is progged to nose into
south central KS tonight allowing low level moisture transport into
southeast KS where pops were nudged up a bit after midnight through
the early morning hours on Tue.

The remnant sfc trough axis may become a focus for afternoon and
evening storms across portions of central and south central KS on
Tue afternoon. The GFS doesn't capture the anticipated low level
moisture and prefer the NAM solution with lower 70 dewpoint
temperatures during the afternoon hours resulting in MLCAPES around
4000 J/KG. 0-6km bulk shear is progged to increase with 35-40 kts
with an isolated strong/severe storm possible once again.

Wed...The sfc trough axis is progged to translate eastward across
southern KS during the day on Wed. Convergence within the trough
axis should be sufficient to overcome the convective inhibition
during the afternoon/early evening hours across south central KS and
pops were increased across portions of central/south central KS.

Thu...Better chances for more widespread severe weather activity may
arrive on Thursday along a stationary front across south central KS.
Deep layer shear is progged to increase with 50-55 kt of 0-6km shear
as well as good directional turning supporting another round of
severe thunderstorms/supercell thunderstorms across much of the
area. If the stationary front can maintain it's position...an
outbreak of severe weather may be possible across the area. Training
cells Thu night will also be capable of producing torrential rain
and flooding concerns.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 235 PM CDT Mon Jul 11 2016

The remnant/diffuse frontal boundary is progged to remain
in place across the region in a favorable pattern for nocturnal
storm activity Fri night-Sat night and maintained mid pops across
portions of the area. Rising heights/increasing thickness will
support rising temperatures as we move into the latter portion of
the weekend and into early next week with a return to above normal
temperatures and dry weather conditions.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night)
Issued at 1150 PM CDT Mon Jul 11 2016

VFR conditions forecast at all sites for the next 24 hours. A cold
front currently located near KRSL will make slow progress into
Central KS overnight, with convection starting to fill in along the
boundary. So will go with VCTS for KRSL with a tempo group for some
gusty winds and possibly some MVFR vsbys. Expect the convection to
become a little more numerous as the overnight progresses as mid
level warm advection/moisture transport increases along the
boundary, especially across Central KS along Highway 56. Will also
go with VCTS for KHUT, KSLN for the overnight hours. Could also see
some more widely scattered convection develop across South Central
KS as well late tonight, so will include a VCTS for KICT after 09z.
