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 May 24, 6:48 PM CDT, 5 hours 41 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 24, 6:48 PM CDT, 5 hours 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Topeka KS 648 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2016 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday) Issued at 324 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2016 A familiar synoptic pattern is seen in the 19Z water vapor imagery. With a mean trough still over the west and northern Rockies, southwesterly flow aloft remains over the central plains. A surface low was again analyzed over the OK panhandle with a dryline extending south through west TX. Outflow from morning storms has muddled up the surface pattern over northeast KS and the better moisture convergence is appears to be over southwest KS between the surface low and the outflow boundary over southern KS. A lot of this forecast is based on expected persistence of the pattern and previous nights. Think that storms will once again develop over southwestern KS and congeal into an MCS moving across eastern KS tonight. The HRRR/ARW/NMM show a bowing MCS developing this evening and move it across the forecast area by the late evening. 0-6KM shear remains rather marginal around 30KT so the main concerns with the storms will be damaging winds, hail and localized flash flooding. Have likely POPs going tonight, but confidence is only medium as some of the models still show various tracks to the MCS. POPs taper down during the morning Wednesday as models move the storms through earlier in the night. Although if an MCV is slow to move east, there could be some lingering precip late in the morning. Lows tonight should be in the lower to mid 60s with rain cooled air helping to cool temps more so than they would be without precip. Highs Wednesday are forecast to be in the lower and mid 80s as models advect warmer air into eastern KS with 850MB temps warming to around 22C and 700MB temps between 8 and 10C. Because of this, forecast soundings show an elevated mixed layer capping the boundary layer through much of the afternoon. So the question becomes whether there is enough convergence along the dryline to force storms because large scale forcing again appears to be weak at best. Most guidance seems to keep the boundary layer capped as they do not generate much QPF in the afternoon, so have kept some small POPs in the forecast for Wednesday afternoon on the small chance a storm develops. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night through Tuesday) Issued at 324 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2016 Wednesday Night Friday... Convective chances by early evening will be dependent on what mesoscale boundaries will be present from any convection earlier in the day. Otherwise the dryline and front will be located west of the forecast area. There is not much in the way of upper support, however the models suggest that there may be a weak wave moving out of western Kansas into Nebraska Wednesday night. Instability, moisture and shear will be sufficient for a few severe storms with hail and wind the main hazards and a low probability for tornadoes. Thursday may start out dry as models move off an MCS well east by 12Z Thursday. The models have slowed the ejection of the main energy ejecting out of the western trough, but do eject a lead shortwave out into the Plains Thursday afternoon and evening. Forecast soundings show Steepening lapse rates and increasing shear around 30 to 35 kts toward 00Z Friday along with mlcape around 2500 J/kg. Expect thunderstorms to develop along the front and dryline then move northeast and east across the CWA during the evening and overnight hours. Have maintained higher precipitation chances for Thursday night and Friday as the upper level trough advances out into the Plains. Forcing will also be aided by left exit region of the upper jet across central and north central Kansas on Friday. Any ongoing precipitation will likely leave mesoscale boundaries across parts of the area by Friday afternoon. Friday Night through Tuesday... The active spring pattern will continue through the extended period. Friday night an upper level trough across the four-corners region will eject northeastward into the central plains. A strong vort-max will will eject across the forecast area Friday evening into Saturday morning, bringing likely chances for thunderstorms across the entire area. Strong to severe thunderstorms will also be possible as sufficient CAPE and shear will be in place. The remainder of the period will consist of southwest flow aloft and embedded weak upper-level waves. With the plentiful boundary layer moisture that will be in place, have at least slight chance PoPs through the remainder of the period. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday Evening) Issued at 648 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2016 Only minor changes to going forecast with timing and impacts of convection the main challenge. Thunderstorms in SW Kansas a bit slower than earlier anticipated and HRRR has also slow progression. Added some gusty winds and IFR visbys in window of greatest potential. Still some concern for MVFR cigs to around 18Z Wednesday but not sold on inclusion yet. && .TOP Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NONE. && SHORT TERM...Wolters LONG TERM...Baerg/53 AVIATION...65
