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 Dec 26, 5:47 PM CST, 1 hour 45 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 26, 5:47 PM CST, 1 hour 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
547 PM CST SAT DEC 26 2015

...UPDATED FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 333 PM CST SAT DEC 26 2015

THE MAIN FORECAST PROBLEM WILL ONCE AGAIN WILL BE THE
PRECIPITATION TYPE AND HOW MUCH ACCUMULATES.

ALL THREE OF THE MAIN MODELS HAVE THE SAME TRACK FOR THE UPPER
LOW. THE ISSUE IS TIMING...AS THE GFS IS THE FASTEST AND THE NAM
IS THE SLOWEST. I WILL KEEP USING MORE OF A NAM SOLUTION FOR THIS
RUN.

AS IN PREVIOUS COUPLE OF FORECASTS...A WARM POCKET OF MID LEVEL
WARM AIR WILL EXIST ALONG THE TURNPIKE CORRIDOR TONIGHT AND MOST
OF SUNDAY BEFORE BECOMING MORE SNOW CONDUCIVE ON MONDAY. THIS
SCENARIO CONTINUES TO PLACE THIS AREA IN THE TRANSITION ZONE
BETWEEN RAIN FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET. THE WINTRY MIX WILL
TRANSITION TO SNOW MONDAY MORNING. ICE AMOUNTS UP TO ONE QUARTER
INCH ARE POSSIBLE IN THIS REGION WITH SNOW ACCUMULATING ON TOP.
POSSIBLY IN A 3 TO 6 INCH RANGE. THE PREVIOUS FORECAST HINTED AT
THE LOWER AMOUNTS.

IN NC KANSAS...THE COLD AIR LOOKS TO BE IN PLACE FOR MAINLY A
SNOW EVENT. THOUGH THE MAIN MOISTURE WILL RESIDE FURTHER
SE...AMOUNTS MAY BE LIMITED FROM PREVIOUS FORECASTS. THE MAIN
ISSUE WILL BE THE PLACEMENT OF THE TROWAL AND HOW FAST IT EXITS
THE REGION. WE WILL LOOK CLOSELY AT THIS.

IN SE SECTIONS...COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE EXISTS THROUGHOUT
THE EARLY PORTIONS OF THIS FORECAST. WARM AIR ALOFT IS PRESENT FOR
THE MAJORITY OF THE EARLY FORECAST ALONG WITH ABOVE FREEZING
SURFACE TEMPERATURES. THIS ALONG WITH RAPID AND STRONG ASCENT
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL LEAD TO A HEAVY RAIN EVENT. A
TRANSITION TO A WINTRY MIX AND THEN SNOW WILL OCCUR ON MONDAY
MORNING. THEREFORE...THE ICE AND SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE
LIMITED DUE TO THE LACK OF MOISTURE AVAILABILITY DURING PEAK
LIFTING FROM THE UPPER SYSTEM.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 333 PM CST SAT DEC 26 2015

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY:

A LONGWAVE UPPER TROUGH WILL TRANSLATE SLOWLY EASTWARD FROM THE
CENTRAL CONUS TO THE EASTERN CONUS DURING THIS EXTENDED FORECAST
PERIOD...AS UPPER RIDGING BUILDS NORTHWARD INTO FAR WESTERN CANADA
AND EASTERN ALASKA. THIS WILL PROMOTE FLOW COMING SOUTHWARD OUT OF
CANADA...STRONGLY SUGGESTING BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR MUCH OF
THE PERIOD. A FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE AT THE BASE OF THE UPPER
TROUGH...WILL MOVE EAST-NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS KANSAS/OKLAHOMA
TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS WAVE MAY HAVE ENOUGH LIFT/MOISTURE FOR A
DUSTING UP TO 1 INCH OF ACCUMULATION AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA.
