LAWSONWhat 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 Apr 30, 4:15 PM CDT, 1 hour 10 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 30, 4:15 PM CDT, 1 hour 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 415 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night) Issued at 409 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019 An active weather day across south central and southeast Kansas as a surface frontal boundary is situated across southeast Kansas and extends across southern Missouri and down through central Oklahoma. Along this frontal boundary which just clips our southeast Kansas counties appears to be the best chances for a tornado heading into the rest of the afternoon and early evening where a tornado watch remains in effect for Montgomery, Labette, and Neosho counties. Mesoscale analysis reveals that along and south of this boundary is where the best 0-3km CAPE is located. That said, by far the better tornado threat over the next few hours will be south of the Oklahoma border where shear and instability will be more favorable along and south of the frontal boundary. Additionally, in northern Oklahoma in the vicinity of the Tulsa area, dewpoints are in the upper 60s and lower 70s, MLCAPE in excess of 2000J/kg, and 0-3km storm relative helicity will be more favorable. North of the border, conditions are less favorable for tornadoes but do present a bit of a hail or isolated damaging wind gust threat. This observation has already been realized several times early this afternoon, when a few storms in northern Oklahoma with decent gate-to-gate velocity couplets and at least one radar confirmed tornado weakened as it moved north into southeast Kansas into the less favorable environment. Long story short, the tornado threat in southeast Kansas remains small given less favorable environmental parameters than further south in Oklahoma, but the threat will remain non- zero for the next several hours. Perhaps a bigger concern across a larger portion of the forecast area will be the ongoing flooding threat across portions of south central but especially southeast Kansas from now through late tomorrow. See the hydrology section below for further details. A few significant tweaks were made to POPs for overnight tonight and tomorrow morning based on latest model guidance and convective allowing models (CAMs), which show at least a temporary lull in precip along and west of I-135 through tomorrow morning. Significantly reduced pops in most areas other than southeast Kansas where thunderstorm chances will persist throughout the evening/night. Model soundings indicate that there will be some fog/drizzle/low stratus potential along and west of I-135 and into western and northern Kansas, but the potential for heavier rain in these areas looks low. As the previous discussion mentioned, the location of the boundary will continue to be problematic into tomorrow afternoon when it will remain quasi-stationary over southern and southeast Kansas. Latest guidance suggests that forcing for ascent will once again be possible along the southern/southeastern tier of the CWA, which will once again produce some strong to severe convection capable of large hail and damaging winds. Thinking storm development for tomorrow will be somewhat later than today with peak instability in the late afternoon or early evening. Models continue to show impressive CAPE with around 40kts or so of bulk shear magnitude in far southeast Kansas in the vicinity of the front, so think the main threat area for strong to severe storms will be in roughly the same area as today. This area also corresponds with the current Day 2 slight risk from SPC, so generally agree with SPC regarding the potential for severe storms again tomorrow evening. Thursday becomes a little more questionable with the position of the front, but in general think that things will dry out for the most part (perhaps with the exception of far southeast Kansas) with models indicating an area of surface high pressure sliding across the Northern Plains during the day on Thursday, providing especially central and south central Kansas with a break in activity during the afternoon through early evening. Temperatures will be slightly cooler than normal topping out in the mid to upper 60s Thursday and Friday under mostly cloudy skies. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday) Issued at 409 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019 By Friday and heading into the weekend, a mid/upper trough will swing across the central CONUS and with increasing moisture again introduce chances for showers and thunderstorms on Friday and this weekend. Still a lot of uncertainty for this weekend, and with the heavy emphasis placed on the short term severe chances and hydrology concerns, did not stray far from the initialization grids for much of the extended range. Overall, off and on chances of showers and thunderstorms will be possible as the pattern looks to remain active into early next week. Still early to iron out the details but stay tuned for updates over the next several days. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1237 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019 With ongoing showers and thunderstorms as of the issuance of the 18z TAFs, a very challenging aviation forecast. Current radar imagery shows thunderstorm clusters concentrated across southeast Kansas with a second line of clustered thunderstorms extending from the vicinity of KSLN down through south central Kansas to KICT and back to the southwest into Oklahoma. Expect IFR to LIFR conditions most terminals periodically over the next few hours with continued thunderstorm activity. The exception will be KGBD and KRSL, which will be located further west of the majority of convective development, so thinking off and on showers will be the primary precip mode at these terminals. The best chance of strong/severe storms will be at KCNU in southeast Kansas through the rest of the day and evening. Chances for BR and showers will linger throughout the rest of the TAF period. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 409 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019 Flooding and flash flooding potential will continue over the next day or so with rain showers and thunderstorms moving across south central and southeast Kansas. Several reports of low-lying areal flooding with water across a few roadways has already prompted areal flood warnings in various counties across southeast Kansas. With additional rainfall possible this evening through early tomorrow as storms train across southeast Kansas, there does remain the risk of flash flooding, so the previously issued flash flood watch will remain in tact and in effect until late tomorrow. In addition to areal and potential flash flooding due to training storms, river flooding has already become an issue along the Neosho, Verdigris, and Fall Rivers in southeast Kansas. With additional rainfall possible this evening and again tomorrow, expect that river flooding will continue over the next few days in southeast Kansas. Continue to monitor the latest flood warnings for further details. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Severe storms will be possible generally east of the Kansas turnpike with the main risks being quarter to ping-pong ball size hail and damaging wind gusts to 65 mph. A limited risk for a tornado will exist for far southeast Kansas, mainly near the Oklahoma border. Strong storms with small hail and gusty winds to 50 mph will be possible for portions of south central Kansas to the west of the turnpike for the rest of the afternoon. Locally heavy rainfall is likely across most of south central and southeast Kansas through early this evening and across portions of southeast Kansas through early tonight. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday Multiple rounds of thunderstorms are in the forecast for Wednesday through Thursday morning. Strong to severe storms will be possible again on Wednesday afternoon and evening in southeast Kansas with half dollar size hail, damaging wind gusts to 60 mph. Flash flooding will also be a concern tonight through Wednesday, as very heavy rainfall is expected with these storms. Low water crossings, creeks and streams may become swollen. Flooding along the Neosho and Verdigris Rivers in southeast Kansas will occur over the next few days. See the latest river flood warnings for details. Several more chances for thunderstorms will be possible Friday and Saturday, but details remain unclear at this point. Stay tuned for details. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation may be needed this afternoon and early evening for locations mainly east of the Kansas turnpike. && For a graphical version of this information, see our webpage at: http://weather.gov/wichita/hwo/
