METZGERWhat 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 Sep 8, 6:55 PM CDT, 17 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 8, 6:55 PM CDT, 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 655 PM CDT THU SEP 8 2016 ...Updated for 00z Aviation Discussion... .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday night) Issued at 250 PM CDT Thu Sep 8 2016 The primary concern through Friday night continues to be heavy rain and flooding concerns although a handful of severe storms will be likely on Friday along a southward moving cold front. Widely scattered late afternoon storms are expected to become more widespread this evening and tonight across south central Kansas as low level moisture transport ramps up once again. This activity should drift eastward across portions of southeast Kansas after 07- 09z. Given the very moist column...efficient rain production and flooding concerns will remain possible across the watch area. After a brief lull during the morning hours on Friday...a southward advancing cold front will provide a focus for storms after 21z continuing through the evening and overnight hours for portions of the area. Heavy rain and damaging winds will be the primary threats through the evening hours with the potential for flooding across portions of south central and southeast Kansas. Sat-Sun...a stable post-frontal regime is anticipated over the weekend with dry weather conditions and below normal temperatures. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Thursday) Issued at 250 PM CDT Thu Sep 8 2016 Surface high pressure will translate east away from the area by early next week allowing breezy southerly winds to return to the Central Plains. Highs will climb back into the upper 80s by Monday as another cold front approaches late in the period. This front may provide a focus for storms late Sunday and lingering into Tue and possibly Wed as the front meanders over the area. Temperatures in the wake of the front will fall below climate normals with highs in the 60s and 70s while lows fall into the 50s. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening) Issued at 655 PM CDT Thu Sep 8 2016 Numerous thunderstorms are expected overnight over mainly south- central and southeast KS, along with southern portions of central and east-central KS south of I-70, as a strong low-level jet impinges on a stationary front over far southern KS. Airmass is very moist and moderately unstable, so intense rainfall rates are likely. Also cannot rule out a few strong/severe storms with dime size hail and 60 mph winds this evening. Activity should tend to gradually shift east by late tonight or early Friday morning. A lull is expected during the day Friday, before a strong cold front approaches from the north, increasing thunderstorm chances by afternoon/evening from the northwest. Strong/gusty north winds are expected in wake of the front tomorrow afternoon/evening. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
