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 Topeka, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Dec 13, 11:16 AM CST, 4 hours 1 minute earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 13, 11:16 AM CST, 4 hours 1 minute before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Topeka KS 1116 AM CST SUN DEC 13 2015 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 323 AM CST SUN DEC 13 2015 An intense closed upper low was located across west TX and will lift northeast across eastern KS tonight, then into northern MO by 12Z MON. Expect showers and isolated thunderstorms through the remainder of the early morning hours but as the the mid level flow becomes more meridional the instability will decrease enough to prevent any elevated isolated thunderstorms through the day. We will see periods of light to at times moderate rain across the CWA. The surface boundary has been slowly lifting northwest through the early morning hours and should remain nearly stationary along a Council Grove to Holton line. This afternoon the front will slowly push southeast and frontolysis may occur during the early evening hours across southeast KS. A stronger cold front will push southeast into north central KS Tonight but lows behind the front should remain a degree or two above freezing across the western counties of the CWA. Highs Today across east central KS, ahead of the cold front, will be during the morning hours with highs in the lower to mid 60s. Temperatures will begin to fall back through the 50s into the upper 40s across most of east central KS during the afternoon hours. The remainder of the CWA will remain in the 40s through the day. Tonight, as the upper level low lifts northeast into northern OK heavier snow will form within the TROWAL region within the stronger deformation zone on the west and northwest side of the upper low. Heavier snow should develop from the TX Panhandle northeast across west central KS. Most models show enough warm air wrapping around the 850mb low to keep the precip in the form of rain through the evening hours across north central KS. During the early morning hours of Monday there may be enough sustained ascent for the column to cool enough for the rain to mix with snow or change to snow. The NAM and to some extent the ECMWF show the stronger dynamic lift cooling the vertical column for a brief period of snow. However, both the NAM and ECMWF show the stronger ascent lifting northeast into NE after 12Z TUE, so any wet snow accumulations should be rather light. The 00Z GFS keeps the vertical profile in the lower layers of the atmosphere warm enough for all rain through the night across north central KS. If the NAM model verifies, the extreme western half of Republic and cloud counties could see about an inch and half of wet snow accumulations on grassy surfaces. Farther east into Washington, Clay and Dickinson counties expect only a dusting of snow on grassy surfaces. Overnight lows will remain above freezing, thus I do not see any travel problems for area roadways across our far western counties. I suppose the next shift will have to watch for a farther southward movement of the upper low which could shift the heavier snow axis a bit east into the western counties of the CWA. But most models and WPC show the heaviest snow axis across southwest and west central KS Tonight. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday) Issued at 323 AM CST SUN DEC 13 2015 Precipitation may be a bit slower to exit the area on Monday as models show some light precipitation from the back-edge of the exiting storm system still present across far northeast Kansas. While most of this light precipitation should be in the form of rain, temperatures may be close enough to the freezing mark to have some light snow mixed in with the rain. Conditions should dry out by late morning/early afternoon as a weak mid-level ridge builds into the area. While there doesn't look to be much in the way of cold air advection behind this system, the combination of northwesterly winds and low clouds likely not scattering out until the afternoon hours may hinder temperatures a bit, so have highs in the mid/upper 40s. However, if the low clouds are able to scatter out sooner in the day, then temperatures may be a few degrees warmer. Another closed mid-level low moves into the Rockies Monday night, lifting into the central High Plains on Tuesday. Models have been continuing to trend a bit further north with this system, keeping the majority of the precipitation across Nebraska and the Dakotas. However there is still a slight chance for some light precipitation to skim along the KS/NE border in north central KS so have kept some slight chance PoPs for Tue/Tue night. Models show a decent pressure gradient setting up over the area on Tuesday with the approaching surface low situated over western Kansas. This breezy southerly flow along with mostly sunny skies should result in warmer conditions and have increased Tue. highs a bit in east central KS, with highs ranging from the mid 40s to upper 50s from northwest to southeast. Expect better cold-air advection as this system shifts to the north, resulting in high temperatures Wed through Fri dropping into the upper 30s to mid 40s. Surface high pressure should become centered over the region on Saturday and shift to the east by Saturday night, so expect a warming trend by the latter part of the weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday Afternoon) Issued at 1115 AM CST SUN DEC 13 2015 Rain continues to fall over the entire area this afternoon into the evening. Expect conditions to stay predominately IFR, although lighter showers may bring brief periods of MVFR ceilings and visibilities. Expect ceilings to lift to MVFR between 03-04Z and maintain this category through the end of the period. Precipitation will end near 12Z tomorrow and west-northwest winds will become gusty. && .TOP Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NONE. && SHORT TERM...Gargan LONG TERM...Hennecke AVIATION...Heller
