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 13, 6:31 AM CDT, 34 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 6:31 AM CDT, 34 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
631 AM CDT WED JUL 13 2016

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday night)
Issued at 302 AM CDT Wed Jul 13 2016

Main challenge remains convective trends the next few days and
potential for severe weather and heavy rainfall. Two convective
clusters early this morning were supported by separate branches of
elevated low level moisture transport on the nose of the low level
jet. The one from northeast Kansas into KC metro could backbuild
a bit and move into parts of southeast Kansas through sunrise.
Meanwhile the second system moving across northwest Kansas looks
to have a better chance to make inroads over central Kansas later
this morning. This activity could very well sustain itself into
east central and parts of southeast Kansas perhaps even grazing
part of the Wichita metro. A few strong storms will be possible.
Otherwise, generally a dry and hotter afternoon is expected
across the forecast area with heat indices flirting with advisory
criteria in some locations. Another weak shortwave aloft will
graze central and eastern Kansas tonight with the low level jet
aiding in another convective cluster of storms with the Wichita
area remaining on the southern edge of the better convective
chances to the north and east. The potential for a more
significant/widespread convective event with severe weather and
heavy rainfall still looks to affect much of the area on Thursday
into Thursday night. While the resultant convection/outflow
Wednesday night will play key in where the effective surface front
will be situated on Thursday, the quasi-stationary front is still
expected to lay out across far southern Kansas with increasing
easterly upslope flow north of the front resulting in strong deep
layer shear in excess of 50 kts. An MCS with not only severe
weather but excessive rainfall is possible across southern Kansas
with high PWAT values around two inches. The latest guidance would
suggest that much of the convection may push south of the area a
bit quicker Thursday night, though details on timing still hinge
on where the effective boundary sets up during the day on
Thursday.

Darmofal

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 302 AM CDT Wed Jul 13 2016

The upper ridge is progged to build in earnest across the central
CONUS through early next week. Any lingering precip chances over
the weekend should be squelched by the building heat throughout
the lower and mid-troposphere as the main storm track shifts well
north of the area.

KED

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning)
Issued at 631 AM CDT Wed Jul 13 2016

Severe convective cluster will continue to move east-southeast
along the I-70 corridor through mid-morning with wind gusts in
excess of 50 kts likely to affect KSLN terminal. Storm cluster
will continue to move into east central and perhaps a portion of
southeast Kansas by late morning. Much of the afternoon is
expected to be storm-free with another round of storms expected
later tonight across central into southeast Kansas. Storm outflow
boundary will play havoc with surface winds into midday across
central Kansas. East-southeast surface flow should reestablish
itself this afternoon and evening. VFR conditions are expected to
prevail away from convection, with IFR and briefly lower in the
strongest storms.
