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 Sep 8, 6:55 PM CDT, 1 hour 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 8, 6:55 PM CDT, 1 hour 15 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.
