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 Hastings, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Sep 4, 7:11 PM CDT, 5 hours 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 4, 7:11 PM CDT, 5 hours 40 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Hastings NE
711 PM CDT SUN SEP 4 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 659 PM CDT Sun Sep 4 2016

Diurnally driven strong to severe thunderstorms across northwest
Kansas will slide northeast into our north central Kansas and
south central Nebraska counties this evening. These storms will
likely be more scattered in coverage south of interstate 80 and
there is some question as to how well they will hold together
after sunset, but large hail, damaging winds, and flash flooding
will be possible with these storms. Additional strong to severe
thunderstorms are expected to form on the nose of the
strengthening low level jet between 9pm and midnight with the
greatest coverage of these later developing storms likely north
of I-80 and even more so along and north of hwy 92.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 227 PM CDT Sun Sep 4 2016

We have a chance for thunderstorms this evening. There will be a
couple thousand J/kg of most unstable CAPE (upwards to near 4,000
per the NAM) with decent bulk (0-6km) shear around 45 knots to
support updrafts capable of large hail around half dollar size (or
larger) and thunderstorm wind gusts around 60 mph. Initially,
there is a chance for some of the early thunderstorms to develop
into supercells and there will be a small threat for tornadoes
before storm mode goes more into a cluster of storms. The higher
instability is across western portions of the county warning
area...and I believe thunderstorms will impact our area here
initially. A surface trough is currently in place across western
parts of the Central Plains. Thunderstorms are already developing
across eastern Colorado. The HRRR is initializing well and
capturing this in the 19Z run. The HRRR brings these storms into
western parts of our area as early as 6pm.

A flood warning is in effect for portions of north central Kansas
until 730 pm tonight. Please see the latest Flood Warning product
for more information. Chances for additional rainfall look more
favorable for areas north of the flooded area.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 227 PM CDT Sun Sep 4 2016

Throughout the extended there are multiple chances for
thunderstorms. Some of these chances could produce storms capable
of strong to severe weather. The Storm Prediction Center has us
outlooked the next several days in a row. Monday is really the
only day that doesn't look as favorable for thunderstorms...and
really the only dry period in the forecast until next weekend.

Any additional rainfall in those areas that have already received
a lot of rainfall could potentially be prone to more flooding.
This will need paying attention to over the course of next week,
in particular north central Kansas, which doesn't need
anymore rainfall.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS through 00Z Monday evening)
Issued at 659 PM CDT Sun Sep 4 2016

The primary aviation concern will center around both strong low
level wind shear...as well as thunderstorms this evening through
tonight. Some of the thunderstorms in the area could be strong to
severe, but too early to say for sure if these more scattered
thunderstorms will directly impact the terminals or not. The most
likely time for thunderstorms will be between 9pm and 1am. The
low level wind shear will be rather strong through a majority of
the overnight hours.
