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 Mar 6, 5:27 PM CST, 2 hours 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 6, 5:27 PM CST, 2 hours 33 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
527 PM CST Mon Mar 6 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday night)
Issued at 301 PM CST Mon Mar 6 2017

The cap was currently being breach across eastern Nebraska which was
in closer proximity to the upper PV wave/cooler air aloft. Storms
will eventually develop southward into eastern Kansas later this
afternoon/evening once the cooler air aloft moves over the
unstable low-level airmass. Storm initiation for our area looks to
be east the Kansas turnpike which will quickly race eastward.
There is a small window for a few tornadoes over southeast Kansas
if a storm can remain discrete. Otherwise we are expecting the
storms to quickly evolve into a line of storms as the cold front
over takes the initiating surface trough axis. Once this happens
the risk will be mainly damaging winds and large hail.

On Tuesday, deep mixing will give way to dry adiabatic lapses rates
in the 1000-850mb layer and allow stronger northwest winds aloft to
mix down to the surface in the afternoon. This will result in strong
winds again but not quite as strong as today, however central Kansas
could reach wind advisory levels and will hoist a headline for that
area. The combination of dry air and gusty winds will elevate the
grassland fire risk again for Tuesday afternoon. See fire weather
section below for more details. Dry weather conditions are expected
for Tuesday and Wednesday

Models show elevated moisture returning northward across Oklahoma
towards eastern Kansas for late Wednesday night into Thursday. This
looks to spark off some elevated storms for Thursday
afternoon/evening over southeast Kansas into Missouri.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 301 PM CST Mon Mar 6 2017

An active upper level northwest flow regime will be in place across
Kansas for this period with a couple more pronounced weather systems
moving across the central plains. Cooler air will back door its way
across Kansas from the northeast on Friday in the wake of the
Thursday upper wave, and become re-enforced for the weekend in the
wake of a second stronger upper level wave for Saturday. This second
system looks to increase the rain chances for mainly Friday night
into Saturday while it races through the northwest flow regime
aloft. Long range models show a third upper level wave racing across
the region for Sunday night into Monday but differ on the
positioning of this system which would affect possible precipitation
chances, therefore confidence is not as high for days 6/7 and will
keep precipitation chances lower.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening)
Issued at 524 PM CST Mon Mar 6 2017

Very strong winds will ahead and behind the front will continue
into the late evening hours. Meanwhile thunderstorms will develop
along the cold front and race eastward across southeast Kansas
this evening. A few strong to severe storms will be possible and
could affect the CNU TAF site later this evening. Otherwise winds
will decrease later tonight and then increase again for tomorrow
with mainly a west direction.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 301 PM CST Mon Mar 6 2017

Winds will remain extremely strong and gusty for this afternoon into
the evening hours with a red flag warning in effect until 8pm.
Meanwhile a strong cold front will race across the region tonight
with winds switching to the northwest. Strong gusty northwest winds
will combine with dry air and elevate the grassland fire risk once
again on Tuesday. Very high to extreme fire levels are expected and
a red flag warning has been hoisted for much of the region on late
Tuesday morning through the afternoon. Very high grassland fire
danger will affect the region again on Wednesday as the winds switch
back around to the south. The weather pattern will be changing for
Thursday into the weekend which will lower the risk for fire weather
across the region.
