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 28, 12:16 AM CDT, 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 28, 12:16 AM CDT, 25 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Topeka KS 1216 AM CDT SAT MAY 28 2016 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Saturday) Issued at 302 PM CDT FRI MAY 27 2016 An intense upper level trough was located across western KS and extended southward across the TX PNHDL. This upper level trough will lift northeast across KS later Tonight. At the surface an area low pressure was located north of Garden City and will move northeast into southeast NE by 15Z Monday. A surface front extended southward across southwest KS into the northern TX PNHDL. A dryline was located ahead of the front across south central KS, southward across western OK. Severe thunderstorms have already developed south of ICT and were moving north-northeast and will probably move into the southwest counties of the CWA after 5 PM. Additional thunderstorms will develop within the warm sector as stronger ascent lifts northeast across eastern KS ahead of the upper level trough. MLCAPE this afternoon across the CWA were only around 1,000 J/KG due to the cloud cover and outflow left from last night's storms. Some partial clearing across the southwest counties may help the MLCAPEs increase to near 2000 J/KG by 600 PM. The best chance for severe thunderstorms will be across the southwest and south central counties of the CWA. The primary hazard will be large hail and damaging wind gusts. The 0-6KM effective shear is forecasted to increase to 40-50 KTS across the western counties of the CWA through the evening hours. The 0-1KM SRH increases to 50 J/KG across the western counties of the CWA during the early evening hours. Given the low 0-1 KM SRH values the chance for any weak isolated tornadoes will be very small from discrete cells. The biggest threat with storms this evening and tonight will be heavy rainfall. There may be prolong periods of training thunderstorms, especially across the western half of the CWA through the evening hours. The line of storms will gradually spread east across the remainder of the CWA during the evening hours. I would not be surprised if some areas of the CWA see 1 to 2 inches of rainfall over night. If the line of thunderstorms weaken through the mid and late evening hours the potential for heavy rainfall may decrease slightly across the eastern counties of the CWA. We will have to monitor mesoscale developments to determine the total amount of rainfall across the CWA through the evening hours. Given that the ground is saturated and most rivers are at or out of their banks, any additional heavy rainfall will cause flash flooding. Therefore I have kept the flash flood watch going through 12Z Saturday. Saturday, the upper level trough will lift northeast into the upper midwest. A secondary front will push southeast into northeast KS late Saturday afternoon. There may be enough residual moisture for scattered shower and thunderstorms late Saturday afternoon across the northeast counties. Highs on Saturday will the upper 70s to lower 80s with more insolation during the afternoon. .LONG TERM...(Saturday Night through Friday) Issued at 302 PM CDT FRI MAY 27 2016 On Saturday, the mid-level trough and surface low will finally lift northeast of the area. Models seem to be tracking faster with the this system exiting the area, so expect diminishing showers and thunderstorms from west to east through the day. In fact, the ECMWF/NAM/GEM have most of the forecast area dry by the afternoon with the GFS being the outlier in keeping some scattered precipitation across eastern KS. If storms are able to clear out during the morning, then the potential for any stronger storms should be relatively low. Due to some uncertainty in the amount of destabilization present during the morning and how much wind shear will be in place, cannot entirely rule out the potential for an isolated strong storm across extreme eastern Kansas. However, the better potential for stronger storms is looking to be just east of the forecast area due to the faster tracking of this system. With the morning cloud cover, conditions may initially be slow to warm- up, but expect afternoon temperatures to reach into the upper 70s to low 80s. A brief window of dry conditions are looking more likely during the Saturday night through Sunday morning timeframe before the next mid- level wave lifts northeastward into the area, helping to push a boundary northward into at least southern Kansas. As a result, showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop across the area Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening. With the shortwave tracking overhead through the day on Monday, additional showers and thunderstorms will be possible. For any storms that develop Sunday through Monday, wind shear looks to be minimal, thus limiting the potential for any strong to severe storms at this time. However, flash flooding and river flooding will continue to be a concern due to the heavy rainfall that has already occurred across the outlook area this past week. As for temperatures Sunday and Monday, expect mild conditions Sunday ahead of the advancing wave, pushing high temperatures into the low/mid 80s. With ongoing precipitation on Monday, temperatures should be a bit cooler in the upper 70s to low 80s. For the extended forecast period covering mid to late next week, have kept chance POPs in the forecast considering the GFS and ECMWF are split on intensity and amplification of an upper level trough pushing across the Northern Rockies into the Upper Midwest Tuesday and Wednesday. GFS is much more aggressive with moisture and the upper level forcing making for a more widespread wet pattern for Tuesday and Wednesday. Could see some severe potential slip into portions of northeast KS if the GFS does verify. But the ECMWF would lean more toward a disorganized multicell type set up with more isolated activity at least the way it looks right now. Forcing, although somewhat disorganized from both solutions and further north of the forecast area, will likely see a fairly strong cold front for this time of year get pushed through the region overnight Wednesday into Thursday bringing a dry set up for at least a couple days. Guidance diverges from each other a bit more from here as more upper level energy resides to the north of the Central Plains with a modified Canadian high in place with somewhat limited moisture return into the Friday time frame. The GFS develops an upper level cut off low regime over the region which could complicate the general precipitation forecast depending on how much moisture is wrapped around late in forecast period on Friday. High temps through the period should remain generally in the mid to upper 70s and cool back as low as the upper 50s with the cold front moving through the area Wednesday night. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday Night) Issued at 1216 AM CDT SAT MAY 28 2016 Weak convection moving into central Kansas will likely continue into the next several hours on east but only seems worthy of VCSH and VFR conditions should persist. Convective chances to around 0Z not zero but also too much uncertainty for a mention. && .TOP Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
