What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 12, 12:53 PM CDT, 3 hours 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 1253 PM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday night) Issued at 336 AM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019 Satellite water vapor imagery shows a mesmerizing dynamic upper level system spinning over northern Baja region early this morning. This system will begin its journey northeast across the Rockies for today and eject out into western Kansas by Wednesday afternoon. A lead short wave will move across the high plains region this afternoon. Models are in good agreement showing a stream of increasing moisture transport ahead of this wave during the afternoon. As a result, showers/storms look to become more numerous mainly across southern Kansas for this afternoon and early evening. There could be a little lull in the precipitation coverage tonight before a more robust surge of moisture transport occurs later tonight. This next moisture surge will expand/amplify another round of showers and storms for western and central Kansas. Widespread 1 to 2 inches with some locally higher rainfall amounts are anticipated across the region for this event. The rainfall will become more problematic for central Kansas compared to southern Kansas due to saturated soils and rivers running higher than normal. Flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas along with some rivers possibly overflowing their banks supports on-going Flood Watch for central kansas. On Wednesday, a pronounced line of showers/storms will quickly race eastward from Kansas into Missouri during the morning hours with a break in the precipitation and some clearing skies during the late morning/afternoon hours. Meanwhile, surface cyclogenesis will undergo explosive development and very significant pressure falls. This combined with expansion of deep adiabatic mixing spreading northeast from western Oklahoma into central/south central Kansas will tap into much stronger wind speeds aloft. This could generate extreme winds with gusts over 60mph possible by Wednesday afternoon. We will maintain and expand the High Wind Watch for a few counties to the north. A wind advisory will likely be needed on the periphery of the high wind watch. Still see a decent signal for re-newed low topped convection to develop near and south of closed upper low center late Wednesday afternoon over central Kansas. A few strong storms will be possible. The surface low pressure center will shift eastward for Wednesday night into Thursday and remain coiled up tightly. Once again very strong winds will be problematic but switch to the northwest for this period. A High Wind Watch remains in effect for central Kansas on Thursday. A rain/snow mix could spread into central Kansas for late Wednesday night and Thursday morning. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Monday) Issued at 336 AM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019 Surface high pressure will settle over the region in the wake of the departing upper level system for Friday with below normal temperatures likely. Meanwhile dry weather and a gradual warming trend will be in store for the upcoming weekend and Monday. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1242 PM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019 Aviation concerns: TSRA, LLWS, low CIGS/VIS. An extended period of poor aviation conditions is anticipated through the remainder of this TAF cycle and then continuing into later TAF periods. An unseasonably strong upper level system moving into the SW US will send waves of SHRA and TSRA across the area through Wednesday morning. Thunderstorms will cause reductions in VIS to as low as 1-3SM and may contain some hail up to penny size (as was reported south of KICT earlier today). Confidence in the timing of TSRA is fairly high, but amendments can be expected through tonight as we get a better handle on when and where each round of thunderstorms will be. Drier air moves in by mid to late Wednesday morning, setting the stage for what will be a very windy/gusty period Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning. LLWS can be expected for most sites as the winds aloft rapidly increase this evening/tonight. It should be noted that a period of anomalous and strong 55+ kt gusts are anticipated for portions of the area just beyond the current TAF period. Martin && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 336 AM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019 Very strong to extreme winds will develop across the area on Wednesday which will result widespread extreme grassland fire danger levels. Winds of this magnitude would typically support catastrophic levels but expected rainfall should keep grasslands from reaching higher end curing. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
