What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this areal 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 areal flood warning went out at May 16, 6:53 PM CDT, 4 hours 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 16, 6:53 PM CDT, 4 hours 6 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
653 PM CDT MON MAY 16 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 317 PM CDT Mon May 16 2016

Water vapor imagery shows a broad closed upper low spinning over
the central Great Basin with additional shortwave energy diving
southeast across the northern Great Lakes region. At the
surface, low pressure is centered over northeast NM/SE CO with a
warm front extending from SW KS and into north central OK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday night)
Issued at 317 PM CDT Mon May 16 2016

Water vapor imagery shows a number of small perturbations sliding
across the desert sw into the Southern Plains. One is lifting
across northeast KS with another now moving into SW KS.
Meanwhile, another piece of energy looks to be moving into western
NM. Would expect at least some sct showers/storms to linger around
late this afternoon into the early evening as large scale lift
continues to ramp up along with mid level theta-e advection.
However, feel that more robust convection will hold off until the
impulse over NM moves out across OK/southern KS, which should be
between 00-03z. This is also when 850mb convergence will be maximized
along the KS/OK border. Still looks like the far southern portion
of the CWA will have the best chance at moderate to heavy
rainfall tonight.

With around of 1,000J/KG of elevated CAPE and 30-40kts of elevated
deep layer shear, can't rule out large hail and strong downburst
winds with the stronger storms, especially across southern
portions of the forecast area. High rainfall rates will also be
possible with the stronger showers and storms and with already
saturated grounds, some localized flooding can also not be ruled
out tonight.

One of the changes made from the previous forecast was to clear
rainfall out faster from NW to SE on Tue, with most of the
activity out of central KS by the late morning hours. Shortwave
energy diving over the northern/mid Mississippi Valley should
reinforce the surface high over the northern/central Plains for
Tue night into Wed, pushing the better rain chances into the
southern Plains.

Confidence is high that below normal temps will remain in place,
with highs approaching the mid/upper 60s by Wed. Normal highs for
this time of year are in the mid/upper 70s.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 317 PM CDT Mon May 16 2016

There is decent agreement between the ECMWF and GFS that what is
left of the upper circulation over the Great Basin, will lift out
across the southern/central Plains Thu into Thu night. With such
good model agreement, confidence is high that much of the forecast
area will get wet Thu afternoon-Thu night as the shortwave lifts
from NW OK into northeast KS by Fri afternoon. Not looking at any
severe storms Thu or Thu night due to lack of instability and
boundary to focus storms on. May see some lingering showers Fri
morning before this wave pushes into the mid Mississippi Valley.
Should see temps finally warming to seasonal normals, or slightly
above, for the weekend as return flow moves back into the Plains.
While we are holding onto some slight rain chances for the
weekend, confidence is extremely low in this panning out. This is
due to lack of surface focus or substantial upper wave to generate
storms. Through the weekend, the bulk of the upper energy remains
out of the Rockies/Great Basin.
