$$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 Oct 6, 6:36 PM CDT, 1 hour 48 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 6, 6:36 PM CDT, 1 hour 48 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 636 PM CDT THU OCT 6 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday night) Issued at 257 PM CDT Thu Oct 6 2016 Forecast highlights: Severe storms and heavy rain this afternoon- evening, much cooler Friday, quiet weather through Sunday, and periodic slight chances for showers/storms Sunday night through next week. Strong upper shortwave and associated strong cold front interacting with a very moist and strongly unstable airmass will support scattered to eventually widespread thunderstorms developing this afternoon-evening. The greatest threat area will be generally along/east of a line extending from Lincoln--Lyons-- Kingman--Harper, and generally along/west of the Flint Hills. Storms are expected to develop by 3-4pm on that western fringe, reaching Wichita metro around 5-6pm, and southeast Kansas by 7-9pm. Initial activity over central/south-central Kansas along/west of the Flint Hills will have the greatest severe potential, with strong instability and deep layer shear supporting a few supercells capable of very large hail, damaging winds and possibly a tornado or two. However, given strong cold frontal forcing, threat should transition to a squall line or line segments within the first 2-3 hours of initiation, with the primary threats then becoming straight-line winds and marginally severe hail, although given strong shear will likely still see embedded rotating updrafts and isolated occurrences of larger hail, along with the outside chance of an isolated tornado. Severe threat should wane even more by 9pm generally east/southeast of the Flint Hills given diurnal cooling and decreasing instability. However, given heavy rainfall that already fell over southeast Kansas this morning into the afternoon, additional heavy rainfall could aggravate ongoing flooding concerns over southeast Kansas. Will continue the flood watch over far southeast Kansas overnight. Otherwise, quiet and cooler weather expected this weekend, as high pressure settles south across Mid-America. Highs on Friday will only be in the 60s, with lows Friday night reach around 40 degrees. Consequently, cannot rule out out patchy frost for low- lying and sheltered area, but thinking coverage will be too sparse to include in forecast. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Thursday) Issued at 257 PM CDT Thu Oct 6 2016 A handful of ripples within the zonal flow aloft should support a periodic chances for showers/storms Sunday night/Monday, and again Tuesday night/Wednesday. Likely not looking at widespread activity, and lack of instability will likely preclude severe storms. Temperatures will be seasonal in the 70s, with overnight lows in the 40s and 50s this weekend into next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening) Issued at 636 PM CDT Thu Oct 6 2016 A few clusters/lines of thunderstorms will spread southeast of the Kansas Turnpike this evening, along/ahead of an advancing strong cold front. Thinking activity will spread east of the Wichita metro by 01z/8pm, likely not clearing Chanute until around 06z/1am. Additionally, may see scattered post-frontal showers develop across the area overnight, but nothing more than scattered showers. Strong/gusty northwest winds will spread southeast in wake of the cold front, along with a few hours of MVFR ceilings at Russell--Great Bend-- Salina. Winds will gradually slacken overnight, with sunny skies and modest north winds Friday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
