LAWSONWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at May 7, 4:09 AM CDT, 12 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 7, 4:09 AM CDT, 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 409 AM CDT Tue May 7 2019 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 401 AM CDT Tue May 7 2019 Thunderstorms will continue to plague the area through late Wednesday, some of which could be strong to severe. The best chance for additional severe weather looks to be later today through tonight. Cooler and drier air arrives Thursday on a breezy north wind. By Thursday night, temperatures will likely fall into the 30s and 40s. Temperatures moderate by the weekend. After Wednesday, widespread rainfall is not expected for at least several days. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday night) Issued at 401 AM CDT Tue May 7 2019 Early this morning, a slow-moving MCS was continuing to slowly trek east across eastern Kansas. Recent IR imagery shows warming cloud tops, suggesting a gradual weakening trend. That said, a few stronger cores have recently been noted over south-central KS east of the Turnpike in a small area where convective overturning has not yet occurred. Cannot rule out some hail or gusty winds with this activity, but the overall severe threat early this morning is quickly waning. The question, then, for the rest of the day is what impact does the early morning convection have on the forecast. The ongoing MCS appears to be tied to an area of low/mid level WAA and even appears to be creating its own MCV. Radar and SFC obs show the convective outflow boundary pushing into northern OK. North of this boundary, scattered, sub-severe, storms have developed, likely due to continued WAA overtop the outflow boundary/synoptic front. This activity may tend to decrease with time this morning as the better WAA/lift weakens for a time and the forecast was trended drier across south-central/SE KS for the mid to late-morning period. By this afternoon, the synoptic front will likely be oriented SW to NE from SW Kansas through NE Kansas, while the effective warm front/outflow boundary stalls over northern Oklahoma. Like yesterday, we'll likely start today with lower quality moisture and at least a modest cap in the wake of the morning convection. However, continued southerly flow flow should allow for the return of better quality moisture by the afternoon. This combined with diabatic heating south of the synoptic front, especially where breaks in the clouds occur, should allow SBCAPE of 1500-2500 j/kg to be realized. Deep layer shear may relax a bit during the day, but increase again by the late afternoon into the evening hours. Once again, thinking the best convergence for initiation will be along the synoptic front as daytime heating and moisture advection help to erode the cap. Some elevated thunderstorms may develop north of the synoptic front as well, especially as large-scale forcing for ascent begins to increase ahead of the upper low moving out of the Four Corners region. Given how worked over the atmosphere is, the initially weaker shear, and perhaps not as great of recovery today compared to yesterday...the thought is that the severe threat (at least initially) looks a bit lower. However, as deep layer shear increases towards early evening, there could be an uptick in the severe potential. The greatest threat may tend to be focused along and southeast of the synoptic front, from south-central through southeast Kansas. Short-term guidance suggests another MCS may move across those areas and this certainly seems plausible given the more unidirectional shear profiles and the orientation more parallel to the front. Should that be the case, the primary threat would likely be gusty/damaging winds. Can't rule out the potential of semi- discrete development near the front in the afternoon. If this were to occur, an initial threat of large hail may exist. Areas hit hard last night with heavy rainfall will likely be hit once again, with a continued threat of river flooding and flash flooding (please see the hydro section for more). For Wednesday, the thinking is that the convection tonight will push well east into the Ozarks. Recovery during the day will once again be a concern regarding any severe threat, but it continues to look like the greatest severe weather threat will reside across OK/TX. Late Wednesday into Thursday, a strong cold front will finally push through the area putting an end to the heavy rain and severe weather threat. This will come with breezy and much cooler conditions Thursday. By Thursday night, lows will likely fall into the 30s and 40s. Future forecasts may need to lower these values more than currently forecast. Martin .LONG TERM...(Friday through Monday) Issued at 401 AM CDT Tue May 7 2019 A gradual warmup is expected by the weekend as west or southwest flow aloft returns. The mid-week trough will likely shunt the greater moisture south, keeping the best chance of precip to our south as well. Martin && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night) Issued at 1258 AM CDT Tue May 7 2019 SCT to numerous (+)TSRA continuing to make a mess across KS late tonight. At 05Z, the front appeared to be situated from around KMCI, to between KSLN & KMPR, to along the OK/TX Panhandle border. With sct-numerous (+)TSRA continuing the rest of the night the front is likely to wobble which would obviously affect all facets of the forecast. Where (+)TSRA occur IFR cigs & vsbys are certain. As such am taking a pessimistic approach for all areas thru Tue morning. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 401 AM CDT Tue May 7 2019 The axis of heaviest rainfall from last night was focused primarily over southeast Kansas where some location saw 3-5" of rain, including the Chanute area (where water rescues occurred and some homes were evacuated). For today, the axis of heaviest rainfall looks to set up along and to the southeast of the synoptic front (positioned from SW Kansas through NE Kansas). This area has the best chance of seeing additional flooding through tonight, but we'll continue the Flash Flood Watch areawide as any additional rainfall could lead to problems, not just flash flooding, but also for river flooding. As was seen last night, excessive rainfall rates will once again be a concern. After the rain ends, river flooding will then continue into later this week, with some significant rises likely.

Hail up to around two inches in diameter, winds up to 70 mph and a few tornadoes are all possible. The thunderstorms may begin to train over the same areas in central Kansas for tonight which would likely cause flooding. Meanwhile, more thunderstorms are expected to develop over western Kansas and move eastward across central and south central Kansas later tonight. Flash flooding is possible, especially for areas that saw heavy rainfall last night and any locations that experience training thunderstorms. You should refer to the Flash Flood Watch for further details. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms will occur thru late Wednesday, some of which will likely be strong to severe. There remains some day to day uncertainty regarding the threat areas and potential hazards and the magnitude of those hazards, so be sure to monitor forecasts issued over the 2 days. In addition to the severe weather threat, areal flooding and potential flash flooding will continue to be a concern. A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect until Wednesday evening and should be referred to for further details. Throughout the next few days, river flooding is also forecast along portions of the Cottonwood, Arkansas, and Little Arkansas River. Record flooding is forecast at Halstead along the Little Arkansas River. Minor flooding is also likely on the Cow Creek in Hutchinson. See the latest river forecast warnings for details. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not anticipated tonight. && For a graphical version of this information, see our webpage at: http://weather.gov/wichita/hwo/
