What 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.

.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.

.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.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for much of Central, South-Central
and Southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Severe thunderstorms will develop in Central Kansas along a slow,
southeast-moving cold front. 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 activation is not anticipated tonight.
