The local office's own words before this high wind 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 high wind warning went out at Oct 23, 12:00 AM CDT, 2 hours 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 23, 12:00 AM CDT, 2 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 1200 AM CDT Sun Oct 23 2022 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night) Issued at 229 PM CDT Sat Oct 22 2022 Key Details: * A Red Flag Warning is in effect for portions of central Kansas. A Fire Weather Watch is in effect for portions of central and south- central Kansas. * A high wind watch is in effect for Russell and Barton Counties. A wind advisory is in effect for the rest of the CWA. * A conditional severe risk will be possible Sunday while beneficial rainfall is expected for southeast Kansas. Water vapor imagery shows a strong upper level trough digging into the Southwest. Multiple pieces of energy are expected to round the larger trough. The first shortwave trough will eject into the Central Plains on Sunday, which will lead to strong synoptic winds of 30 to 40 mph sustained, gusts up to 60 mph, and extreme to catastrophic grassland fire danger concerns. See fire weather section for more details. A highly conditional severe threat will also be present on Sunday. Storms will likely struggle to break a capped environment, however, with a strong surface low in the low 980s providing forcing as well as a sharp dryline, there may be enough lift to break the cap. Especially when the cold front meets up with the dry line. If a storm can go there will be the potential for damaging winds up to 70 mph. The 12z NAM shows 55-70kt winds at 850mb Sunday evening and any storm that can tap into that would likely go severe quickly due to those strong winds mixing down. The hail and tornado risk appear low as any storm that does go up looks to be elevated. However, the mesoscale models do show long curved hodographs so if a storm could get rooted in the boundary layer, it could pose a hail and tornado risk. A complicated setup is expected Monday into Tuesday. Models continue to trend faster with the lead shortwave, which pushes the cold front further east along with the rain. This continues to shift the best rain into southeast Kansas. Rich moisture will get pulled northward from hurricane Roslyn after it makes landfall on the Mexican coast. Two to three inches of rain will be possible where the heaviest band sets up. We should see things dry out Tuesday, however the HWRF hurricane model has shown the potential for the remnants of Roslyn to track through Oklahoma with rain northwest of the center. Global models continue to favor a southern track of upper low so confidence is low in the HWRF solution, but it could be something to watch, especially if we see the global models trend back north with the upper low. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Saturday) Issued at 229 PM CDT Sat Oct 22 2022 The active pattern looks to continue with another potential trough this week. It's too early to tell just how impactful this trough will be, but there's some decent agreement between location of the trough and depth on the probabilistic models so it may be another chance for precipitation. However, we'll likely see some changes in the forecast after models resolve the early week trough. Williams && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night) Issued at 1140 PM CDT Sat Oct 22 2022 VFR will prevail tonight with breezy southerly winds and LLWS impacting much of the area tonight before subsiding early in the period on Sunday. Strong southerly winds will develop across the region on Sunday with the highest speeds impacting our central KS counties where some blowing dust could reduce visibility at times during the afternoon hours. Damaging wind gusts around 50 knots will be possible. The best chance for storms is expected to arrive after 06Z tomorrow although there remains low probabilities for some isolated or widely scattered storms along the dryline impacting central KS during the evening hours. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 229 PM CDT Sat Oct 22 2022 Extreme to catastrophic fire danger is expected Sunday due to low relative humidity and very strong winds. A red flag warning is in effect for counties west of I-135 and a fire weather watch is in effect for the counties between I-135 and the Kansas Turnpike. Strong gusts up to 60 mph will be possible for Russell and Barton County while gusts up to 55 mph will be possible for areas along and west of the Turnpike. Uncertainty exists further east of the Kansas Turnpike with relative humidity values above 40%. It may be difficult for a fire to start, but if a fire can get going it could spread quickly. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
