$$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 Jul 3, 12:17 AM CDT, 2 hours 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 3, 12:17 AM CDT, 2 hours 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 1217 AM CDT SUN JUL 3 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night) Issued at 318 PM CDT Sat Jul 2 2016 Tonight: Convective trends continue to be the main issue. Outflow boundary from this mornings rain has washed back north with fairly sharp differential temperature/wind shift line roughly along Highway 400. In addition, agitated cumulus have festered all day from just west of KICT toward KGAG. In near term, thinking strong- severe convection will develop in the next 1-3hrs somewhere in south central KS and persist well into the evening. This would appear to be most likely just to the south of area that had the heaviest rain last night. Quarter hail and 60-70 microburst winds will be possible. Some low level CAPE and low LCL heights could make things a bit more interesting as well, but is definitely a minor threat relative to the other hazards. Storms this afternoon should be aided by a bit stronger winds and 50kt 300MB jet streak ahead of shortwave. The shortwave should result in another fairly widespread area of efficient moderate-heavy rain. Going flood watch appears on track. Sunday: Any temporal adjustments to flash flood watch for lingering rain is left to the midnight shift given uncertainty on how things will play out tonight. Expect rain to linger into Sunday evening in Southeast KS given the slow moving front, with slow clearing elsewhere. Fair amount of discrepancy on amount of low clouds behind front. Have trended with the cloudier solutions for now. This will keep temperatures suppressed for much of the area. Monday-Tuesday: Dry conditions and below normal temperatures appear on track for the fourth. Elevated moisture and warm air advection may result in some showers around daybreak Tuesday into midday Tuesday. Both NAM/ECMWF seemed excessive with very high 850MB moisture during that period. Temperatures should warm on Tuesday as 500MB heights increase. Those temperatures on Tuesday may not quite be high enough given thicknesses, but with anticipated rainfall may be ok. -Howerton .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Saturday) Issued at 318 PM CDT Sat Jul 2 2016 Minor tweaks to initialization grids with maxes likely a bit cool given thicknesses. Some ridge building is underway at the start of the period, while another shortwave moves through late. As expected, differences between GFS/ECMWF in timing of shortwave lead to significant differences in surface boundary location and precipitation by last half of period. -Howerton && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night) Issued at 1214 AM CDT Sun Jul 3 2016 Showers/storms with heavy rainfall and gusty winds will continue to push slowly south and east across the region overnight with some reductions on visibility/low cigs. Meanwhile low clouds will overspread central Kansas with LIFR conditions through the mid- morning hours. A cold front will push southward across the are on Sunday with winds switching around to the north and low cigs gradually improving during the afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
