What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind chill advisory 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 wind chill advisory went out at Jan 14, 1:38 PM CST, 1 hour 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 14, 1:38 PM CST, 1 hour 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
138 PM CST Sun Jan 14 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 135 PM CST Sun Jan 14 2018

An arctic front moving across the Northern Plains this afternoon
will sweep across the area tonight. A wide swath of light
precipitation is expected in the wake of the front as the forecast
area remains in the entrance region of the upper jet while an area
of mid level frontogenesis moves across the area late tonight and
into the day on Monday. Temperatures ahead and immediately behind
the front may remain above freezing this evening and tonight
allowing a brief mix of wintry precipitation before rapidly changing
to all snow in the wake of the front. Good lift is progged through
the snow growth zone leading to relatively high SLRs late tonight
and into the morning hours on Monday. We may see widespread 1 to 2
inches of snow across much of central and southeast KS tapering off
to a dusting to around 1 inch across much of south central KS. A
winter weather advisory will be issued as this snow will impact the
morning commute for many areas. Much drier air and falling
temperatures will arrive during the day allowing the precipitation
to end from northwest to southeast by early afternoon for most
locations.

Monday night into Tuesday...the main story continues to be very cold
arctic air. A wind chill advisory will be issued from midnight to
18Z on Tue with wind chill values around 15 below or lower
anticipated. Highs may struggle to climb above 12 degrees in many
locations on Tuesday afternoon.

Wednesday...Surface high pressure will move east of the area across
the Middle Mississippi Valley area allowing southerly flow to return
to the Central Plains states. This will allow temperatures to
begin to moderate with highs reaching the freezing mark across
portions of central and western Kansas.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 135 PM CST Sun Jan 14 2018

Moderating temperatures will persist at least through the
beginning of the weekend as a shortwave ridge translates eastward
with rising heights and increasing thickness progged across the
Central Plains states. A mid/upper trough is progged to move
across the Rockies toward the end of the period bringing a chance
for precipitation to the area late in the weekend. Typical
phase/amplitude uncertainties result in some uncertainty in
precipitation type and amounts as we move into Sunday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1139 AM CST Sun Jan 14 2018

Snow showers that moved across the area this morning have now
moved off to the east of all area airports and visibilities have
improved. Behind the snow showers, breaks in clouds have been
observed at most sites. Expecting VFR conditions through most of
the rest of today, but changing over to MVFR cigs around midnight
tonight as the next system begins making its way from north to
south across the area. Snow showers will likely affect
visibilities at all area airports through the early morning hours
on Monday, then clearing out by mid-morning. Expect northerly
winds to be stronger on Monday with gusts at least the 25 knot
range.
