What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Sep 12, 6:36 AM CDT, 1 hour 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 12, 6:36 AM CDT, 1 hour 36 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
636 AM CDT FRI SEP 12 2008

.AVIATION...

FOR 12Z TAFS...MAIN AVIATION CONCERN WILL CONTINUE TO BE LOW CIGS
ASSOCIATED WITH HEAVY RAINFALL.

LARGE AREA OF RAIN IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER THE ENTIRE AREA
TODAY AS A LOW LEVEL JET PUMPS RICH MOISTURE INTO A LOW LEVEL
BOUNDARY. WHILE IFR CIGS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT ALL SITES THROUGH THE
NEXT 6 HOURS...KICT AND KHUT WILL HAVE THE BEST SHOT TO SEE THESE
IFR CIGS FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. THERE MAYBE A PERIOD THIS
AFTERNOON WHERE CIGS RAISE ABOVE IFR...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IS AGAIN
HIGH THAT BY 06Z...ALL SITES WILL AGAIN GO TO IFR CIGS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 315 AM CDT FRI SEP 12 2008/

DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE IS HEAVY RAINFALL/FLOODING POTENTIAL FROM
TWO SEPARATE SYSTEMS: HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER AIRMASS ALONG/E OF
STALLED FRONTAL ZONE....AND THE POSSIBILITY FOR IKES REMNANTS
AFFECTING SERN KS SAT NIGHT INTO SUN MORNING.

TODAY-SATURDAY:
SHORTWAVE TROF OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES EARLY THIS AM WILL EJECT OUT
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS FRI NIGHT INTO SAT AS ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE
ENERGY DIGS SEWD OUT OF CANADA. AS A RESULT...THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
FROM SW THRU CENTRAL KS WILL LIKELY REMAIN STATIONARY TODAY...BEFORE
SLOWLY MOVING EWD TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY REACHING SERN KS SAT PM.
BEST HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING POTENTIAL DURING THIS TIME PERIOD WILL EXIST
ACROSS CENTRAL/S-CNTRL KS AND PART OF THE FLINT HILLS...WHERE THE
GFS/NAM-WRF SHOW A VERY HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER AIRMASS (2
INCHES)...850 FN CONVERGENCE...AND SEVERAL WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCES
TRACKING NEWD WITHIN THE SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE PLUME. ONLY CHANGE TO
THE CURRENT FLOOD WATCH WAS TO EXTEND IT INTO 12Z-18Z SAT FOR THE
AREA ALONG/SE OF A LYONS TO SALINA LINE. CONSENSUS QPF WITH SOME
TWEAKS MADE TO HPC QPF...IS FOR 2 TO 5 INCHES IN THE FFA AREA WITH
ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE WHERE TRAINING ECHOES OCCUR. CLOUD
COVER AND RAIN WILL KEEP HIGHS BELOW NORMAL.

SAT NIGHT-SUNDAY:
AS UPPER TROFFING SWEEPS FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE GREAT
LAKES DURING THE PERIOD...IKES REMNANTS ARE EXPECTED TO LIFT FROM
EAST TX INTO THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH A SPEED/TRACK IN
BETWEEN THE SLOWER GFS AND FASTER ECMWF. THE HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING
POTENTIAL WILL SHIFT INTO OUR FAR SERN KS COUNTIES...WHERE 2 TO 4
INCHES OF RAIN COULD FALL FROM SAT NIGHT INTO SUN AM. THE
PROGRESSIVE NATURE TO IKES REMNANTS SHOULD KEEP AMOUNTS FROM
GETTING TOO OUT OF CONTROL. WE MAY EVENTUALLY NEED A FLOOD WATCH FOR
THESE COUNTIES BUT CONSENSUS WITH WFO SGF WAS TO HOLD OFF SINCE ITS
4TH/5TH PERIOD.

MONDAY-WEDNESDAY:
IN THE WAKE OF IKES REMNANTS...SHOULD SEE SUBSIDENCE OVER OUR AREA
WITH CLEARING SKIES...AS UPPER RIDGING SPREADS EWD FROM THE ROCKIES.
THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR A GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE...WITH MONDAY LOOKING
LIKE A 5 STAR DAY WITH LIGHT WINDS AND HIGHS IN LOW-MID 70S.
TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY WARM TO NORMAL VALUES BY WED.
