The episode as NWS ICT wrote it up.
A line of elevated storms developed into a complex of southward moving storms during the early morning hours of June 10th, 2022. As the line of storms moved south, it turned into a damaging wind producer as it moved into south central Kansas. Wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph were reported with tree damage in the city of Wichita, Kansas.

NWS Wichita, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 9, 11:24 PM CST, 1 hour 16 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 1224 AM CDT Fri Jun 10 2022 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday night) Issued at 259 PM CDT Thu Jun 9 2022 Key Details: * A slight risk is in place for the entire CWA with significant wind possible. * A flood watch is in effect for portions of south-central and southeast Kansas. * Drier and much warmer weather is expected towards the end of the weekend and into early next week. This Evening and Tonight: Not much has changed to increase confidence on the location of storms. The mesoscale and global models still vary on where the best moisture transport will occur thus setting up the location where the MCS will likely track. The RAP, Canadian suite, and the HRW-FV3 are further west with the moisture transport, with the RAP and Canadian models favoring south-central and southern Kansas down into Oklahoma. The HRW-FV3 progresses the MCS further east, but the moisture transport would probably favor something closer to the I- 135 corridor. The GFS, HRRR, and NAM are all further east with the moisture transport and progress the MCS more towards far southeast Kansas and into Missouri. The WRF ARW and NSSL are somewhere in between. As of now the RAP seems to have a better evolution of the current precip trends over central Kansas, but would still like to see continued consistency from it before leaning towards that solution. Nonetheless the potential will be there for a significant wind event. Models are in pretty good agreement for 50 to 70 knots of deep layer effective shear, greater than 2000 j/kg of most unstable CAPE, and 700-500mb lapse rates will be greater than 8 degrees C/km. The main hazards will be hail up to ping pong sized, damaging winds possibly greater than 70 mph, and a couple of brief tornadoes. Along with the severe threat will be a threat for flooding. Torrential rain could lead to flash flooding in some areas that have already received a lot of rain this week. precipitable Water will be well above the 90s percentile this evening so any storm will be an efficient rain maker. A flood watch has been issued for portions of south-central, central, and southeast Kansas where the highest confidence in storms appears to be. Friday through Sunday: The pattern becomes more amplified in the pacific, which will allow the ridge over the Rockies to amplify and shift eastward. This will bring hot and dry weather this weekend with highs on Sunday approaching the upper 90s. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Thursday) Issued at 259 PM CDT Thu Jun 9 2022 The pattern continues to amplify in the Pacific as we see highs approach 100 in our western locations on Monday. A shortwave trough will begin to eject into the Central Plains on Tuesday and keep temps in the low to mid 90s. Another chance for storms is expected Tuesday evening into Wednesday with a cold front behind it that would cool us back into the mid 80s on Wednesday. Models still differ on both the timing and depth of this trough so stay tuned as we refine the forecast in the coming days. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night) Issued at 1213 AM CDT Fri Jun 10 2022 Main aviation concerns this period will be strong to severe storms that are expected to move across the area. Storms are currently developing over central KS and are expected to grow upscale, capable of damaging winds of 60-70mph and hail up to golf ball sized. While timing is a little suspect, a best estimate of TSRA was inserted at most sites via tempo group. Expect reductions in flight categories as the storms pass through. Otherwise, expect winds to become more light and variable toward morning behind the storm complex. Winds will be me mostly out of the northeast by the end of the TAF period. MVFR cigs will be possible during the morning hours tomorrow across portions of south central and southeast KS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

The potential for severe weather increases tonight, as one or more fast-moving thunderstorm complexes races southeast across the region. While some large hail up to ping pong sized is possible, especially early on, the primary threat will be damaging winds greater than 70 mph. The damaging wind threat could be fairly widespread, although there remains quite a bit of uncertainty on where these thunderstorms will form and track. Locally heavy rainfall and pockets of flash flooding are possible as well. Stay tuned to the weather, and ensure you have multiple to receive warnings. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday Periodic low thunderstorm chances are expected Saturday night through Wednesday, especially over the northern half of Kansas, and mainly during the evening and overnight hours. A few strong to severe storms are possible, although widespread severe weather appears unlikely at this time. Hot summer-like temperatures are expected to return Saturday through Tuesday, with afternoon heat indices around 100 degrees possible. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not anticipated tonight. && For a graphical version of this information, see our webpage at: https://weather.gov/crh/ghwo?sid=ict
