What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm 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 winter storm warning went out at Jan 10, 3:58 AM CST, 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 10, 3:58 AM CST, 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 358 AM CST Fri Jan 10 2020 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday night) Issued at 349 AM CST Fri Jan 10 2020 This morning: Challenging forecast with multiple hazards. Very early this morning, will have transient dense fog along leading edge of rich moist working north in the greater Wichita metro areas. Elevated storms during the morning may be strong-severe with good 700MB- 500MB and 0-6km bulk shear offsetting very modest instability. Main threat is hail, with isolated 60 mph wind gusts also possible. As precipitation becomes more widespread, severe threat should wane. This afternoon-evening: Focus shifts to winter weather in central KS, where combo of freezing rain and snow is expected. Snowfall rates could be impressive for a few hours this afternoon around Russell and Lincoln counties given deep supercooled layer and good lapse rates in snow growth zone. As the cold air spills south, anticipate an expanding area of freezing rain, which could would reach KHUT-KEWK line roughly around 3 pm, and into the Wichita metro between 5-6 pm. Sounding are especially problematic with very deep supercooled moisture with a tiny layer just off the surface cold enough to generate ice. Travel could be especially problematic this evening across much of central and south central KS as roads begin to freeze. The second round of snow is expected later tonight and Saturday, with most of that in southeast KS. Variations continue in location of heavier snow, with latest ECMWF a bit slower and south of GFS. Sunday: Another fast moving and compact shortwave moves across the area during the day. Concur with NAM that there should be a chance for flurries or light snow across central KS and parts of the Flint Hills. -Howerton .LONG TERM...(Monday through Thursday) Issued at 349 AM CST Fri Jan 10 2020 No changes to initialization grids. -Howerton && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night) Issued at 1120 PM CST Thu Jan 9 2020 Moisture is currently moving into the region. The clouds will be moving into the region during the night. There are some showers and a few thunderstorms that are also developing but these are to the east of ICT. Over the next 12 hours, showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to over spread the region. This will primarily affect the HUT, ICT and CNU terminals through the morning hours Friday. By the afternoon, colder air will push into the region and start the slow transition to a mixed wintry precipitation and then over to snow by the evening. CNU will be the last to make the switch over to snow during the night Friday. The RSL, GBD and SLN terminals will be the first to get the snowfall. Winds will be brisk in these areas and blowing snow is likely during the afternoon reducing visibilities. Metzger && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
