What was reported inside it
| Time | Report | Where | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 4, 6:56 PM CDT | HAIL 0.75 | Goessel, KS |
Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
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 watch it was issued in

MCGUIREWhat 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 Oct 4, 3:11 PM CDT, 3 hours 33 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 4, 3:11 PM CDT, 3 hours 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 311 PM CDT TUE OCT 4 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday night) Issued at 308 PM CDT Tue Oct 4 2016 Forecast highlights: Active weather for early October standards, with severe thunderstorms this afternoon- evening, and more strong/severe storms and heavy rain Thursday late afternoon- night. Much cooler weather by Friday. Latest observational trends in concert with short-term hi-res guidance suggests greatest threat for severe weather this afternoon/evening will be generally along east of a line extending from Lincoln to Lyons to Pratt, and generally along/west of the Flint Hills, along and ahead of an approaching dryline/cold front. Stout deep layer shear oriented nearly perpendicular to the dryline (reference 2pm Norman OK sounding) along with decent instability for October standards will support a handful of supercells initially, with large hail (possibly up to baseball size), damaging winds and a few tornadoes possible. Greatest threat for a tornado or two will be mainly south-central Kansas into Oklahoma, where greatest instability/low-level moisture will reside, and also where storms should stay discrete the longest. Given strong forcing/mid-level cooling, activity should tend to go linear (broken squall line) within 2-3 hours of initiation, with the main threat transitioning to marginally severe hail and wind, although any "tail-end Charlie" storms on the far southern end over south-central/southeast Kansas/Oklahoma could maintain a large hail and possible tornado threat well into the evening. As convection outruns instability, severe threat should tend to wane later in the evening over far southeast Kansas. A lull in activity expected Wednesday, although should see gradually increasing shower/thunderstorm chances by late afternoon over southeast Kansas as 850-600mb warm advection/moisture transport increases ahead of an impressive digging western CONUS trough. These chances will increase/expand for many areas of eastern Kansas Wednesday night, but severe weather is unlikely given marginal instability. Attention then shifts to severe weather and heavy rain potential Thursday late afternoon-night, especially over southeast Kansas, as a strong shortwave and associated strong cold front approach the region. Low-level moisture, precipitable waters and instability looks to increase for this next system, which will favor additional strong/severe storms along with the potential for heavy rain. Heavy rain threat will be amplified by mid/upper flow oriented parallel to the cold front, and especially if the cold front slows down as advertised by the GFS. Will continue to monitor. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Tuesday) Issued at 308 PM CDT Tue Oct 4 2016 *Much* cooler weather spreading south across the region by Friday, with highs in the 60s. Gradual warming trend back into the 70s by Sunday. Slight chances of rain/isolated storms by Sunday afternoon, but not expecting widespread activity. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1236 PM CDT Tue Oct 4 2016 Strong to severe convection is expected late this afternoon and evening along a surface front/dryline across central Kansas with evolution eastward into southeast Kansas overnight. Confidence is fairly high on timing though impacts may be greater than indicated with regard to wind gusts/VSBYS and will amend as needed. Some indications suggest stratus CIGS in the MVFR category may develop over southern Kansas late tonight. KED && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
