What happened

The episode as NWS ICT wrote it up.

Storms first developed during the afternoon of June 8th, 2010, along a cold front that was pushing steadily south across Kansas. Additional storms formed north of the cold front as the overnight hours progressed into the early morning of June 9th, 2010, providing several rounds of storms for locations generally along and southeast of the Kansas Turnpike. Many of these storms quickly became severe with wet microburst winds. However, with an extremely moist air mass in place all of the storms produced very high rainfall rates that caused widespread flooding across portions of South Central and especially Southeast Kansas.

What forecasters said that day

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
239 PM CDT TUE JUN 8 2010

.DISCUSSION...

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE SEVERE CONVECTIVE CHANCES OVERNIGHT.

SYNOPSIS:
FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE COLD FRONT IS NOW PUSHING THROUGH CENTRAL KS AND
HAS ALREADY MADE IT THROUGH KRSL. SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY THE
ATMOSPHERE IS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE WITH DEWPOINTS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
AND SE KS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S. IN THE UPPER LEVELS WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY CLEARLY SHOWS A PRONOUNCED SHORTWAVE PUSHING ACROSS THE
WESTERN DAKOTAS AND APPROACHING MN. ANOTHER...MORE TROPICAL UPPER
WAVE...IS CURRENTLY LIFTING NORTH ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF INTO
SOUTHERN TX.

TONIGHT:
STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FIRST OVER NE KS BY 21Z AND WILL
QUICKLY BUILD WEST INTO THE FORECAST AREA. GIVEN THE EXTREME
AMOUNT OF CAPE...LARGE HAIL WILL BE VERY LIKELY WITH LARGER THAN
GOLFBALL POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER STORMS. WHILE DEEP LAYER SHEAR
LOOKS WEAK AT FIRST GLANCE...0-6KM SHEAR OF AROUND 30KTS DOESN'T
LOOK TOO BAD WHEN COMBINED WITH 3000-4000J/KG OF CAPE. THIS EVENT
SORT OF RESEMBLES THE MAY 12TH SEVERE SETUP WITH WELL DEFINED
BOUNDARY WITH HIGH INSTABILITY/LOW SHEAR. THE BIG DIFFERENCE WOULD
BE THE ORIENTATION OF THE INITIATING BOUNDARY. THE N-S ORIENTATION
OF THE BOUNDARY ON THE 12TH ALLOWED SUPERCELLULAR STRUCTURES TO
MOVE OFF THE BOUNDARY AND PRODUCE TORS. THIS EVENING THE FRONT IS
MORE E-W ORIENTED AND THUS STORMS ARE GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME
BECOMING ISOLATED. THEREFORE FEEL THE BEST TORNADO THREAT WILL
COME FROM HIGH 0-3KM CAPE ALONG BOUNDARIES. ANY STORM THIS
EVENING/OVERNIGHT WILL ALSO HAVE A GOOD CHANCE TO PRODUCE HIGH
RAINFALL RATES WITH SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING ALSO BE A GOOD BET.

AFTER 06Z THE CONVECTION WILL BE CONFINED TO EXTREME SOUTH
CENTRAL/SE KS WITH MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA REMAINING DRY. FEEL
FAIRLY CONFIDENT THAT THE BULK OF THE SEVERE ACTIVITY WILL OCCUR
BEFORE 06Z AS MUCH OF THIS WILL BE INSTABILITY DRIVEN.

WED-FRI:
THE SURFACE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE GENERALLY ALONG THE KS/OK BORDER
BY 12Z WED. HOWEVER WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THIS BOUNDARY IS
PUSHED FURTHER SOUTH DUE TO OVERNIGHT CONVECTION. CURRENTLY HAVE LOW
CONFIDENCE WITH REGARDS TO PRECIP ON WED. HAVE THE HIGHEST
CONFIDENCE THAT SOME SCT CONVECTION MAY FESTER OVER SOUTH CENTRAL
AND SE KS DURING THE MORNING HOURS. THE FRONT IS THEN EXPECTED TO
WASH OUT AS WE GET BACK INTO RETURN FLOW AS MOISTURE WORKS BACK TO
THE NORTH. WHILE THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF INSTABILITY THERE LOOKS TO
BE LACKING SURFACE CONVERGENCE. SO CURRENT THINKING IS THAT FOR WED
AFTERNOON THE BEST CONVECTIVE CHANCES WILL BE NORTH AND WEST OF THE
FORECAST AREA.  AN MCS WILL BE LIKELY WED NIGHT THAT SHOULD START
OVER WESTERN NEBRASKA. GIVEN LARGE AMOUNTS OF CIN ABOVE 850MB...FEEL
THAT THE MCS IS GOING TO HAVE ISSUES BUILDING SOUTH. WILL THEREFORE
LIMIT PRECIP CHANCES WED NIGHT TO ONLY CENTRAL KS.

FOR THU MORNING AN MCS WILL BE ONGOING NORTH AND EAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA. MEANWHILE THAT TROPICAL DISTURBANCE THAT IS CURRENTLY
DOWN ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF WILL BE TRACKING ALONG THE RED RIVER.
GIVEN THE GOOD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE GFS AND NAM FEEL CONFIDENT THAT
PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE SHOULD STAY SOUTH OF THE
FORECAST AREA. PREVIOUS FORECASTER INTRODUCED POPS BACK IN FOR FRI
FOR SE KS AS THIS UPPER FEATURE CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTH AND THIS
CONTINUES TO LOOK REASONABLE. FOR FRI AND FRI NIGHT THE BULK OF THE
PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO STAY NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA WHERE THE
BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL BE SITUATED.

SAT-TUE:'
THE MAIN QUESTION THROUGH THESE PERIODS WILL BE HOW THE UPPER TROUGH
TO THE WEST PROGRESSES. PREVIOUS RUNS OF THE GFS HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE
PROGRESSIVE WITH THE UPPER TROUGH WITH THE ECMWF MUCH SLOWER AND HAS
A MORE CLOSED LOW SETUP. FOUND IT INTERESTING THAT THE LATEST GFS IS
NOW STARTING TO COME AROUND TO THIS SLOWER ECMWF SOLUTION AND PER
HPC THIS ALSO AGREES WITH THE ECMWF ENSEMBLE TREND. WITH THIS WILL
LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF.

BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS AGREE ON THE CLOSED LOW SITUATED OVER THE
DESERT SOUTHWEST BY 00Z SUN WITH THE FRONT EXTENDING FROM
WEST-CENTRAL KS INTO SOUTHERN IA. WITH THIS BOUNDARY NEAR THE AREA
WILL KEEP PRECIP IN FOR CENTRAL AND PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL KS FOR SAT
INTO SAT NIGHT. THE GFS IS MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE IS PUSHING THE COLD
FRONT THROUGH ON SUN COMPARED TO THE ECMWF. THIS IS DUE TO THE GFS
FORECASTING A DEEPER SHORTWAVE TO MOVE INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES
REGION ON SUN. WITH THESE DIFFERENCES WILL NOT HIT PRECIP TOO HARD
BUT WILL LEAVE SOME SLIGHTS IN CASE THE MORE PROGRESSIVE GFS
VERIFIES. WITH THE MODEL DIFFERENCE IN HANDLING THE SHORTWAVE OVER
THE NORTHERN PLAINS/GREAT LAKES THEY REALLY START TO DIVERGE FOR THE
BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK AND THUS CONFIDENCE REALLY DROPS OFF.

.AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU

MAIN FOCUS TIMING SLOW MOVING FRONT AND ASSOCIATED CONVECTION. THIS
WILL GRADUALLY WORK ACROSS THE AREA DURING THIS FORECAST. BEST
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE IN THE VICINITY OF KHUT-KICT.
STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY WHEN STORMS WILL BREAK OUT GIVEN WHAT SEEMS
TO BE FAIR AMOUNT OF CAPPING. STRONGEST STORMS WILL LIKELY BE
SEVERE...BUT TIMING AT ANY LOCATION IS QUESTIONABLE. CONDITIONS
WILL IMPROVE BEHIND THE FRONT DURING THE NIGHT ACROSS THE
NORTH...HOWEVER WITH FRONT STALLING IN THE VICINITY OF KS/OK
BORDER...LOW CLOUDS/FOG MAY DEVELOP AND COULD AFFECT KCNU/KICT.
FRONT MAY END UP FURTHER SOUTH DEPENDING ON HOW WIDESPREAD STORMS ARE
THIS EVENING...SO DID NOT HIT THIS VERY HARD IN TAFS AT THIS TIME.
