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 Sep 10, 12:15 AM CDT, 59 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 10, 12:15 AM CDT, 59 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Topeka KS 1215 AM CDT SAT SEP 10 2016 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Saturday) Issued at 254 PM CDT FRI SEP 9 2016 Main focus for the short-term is on the potential for some strong to severe thunderstorms to develop as a cold front tracks southeastward through the region. A mid-level trough was stretched across the Northern Plains, and this trough will continue to sink southward into the area as it progresses eastward. This advancing trough will help push the cold front through the outlook area this evening. As of 19z, surface observations showed the cold front moving through north central KS. Short-range models suggest that this progressive front may be bisecting the outlook area by around 00z and should shift southeast of the area before midnight. Model soundings show the weak cap in place quickly diminishing early/mid afternoon with fairly steep mid- level lapse rates supporting MUCAPE values possibly upwards of around 2000-3000 J/kg. 0-6km bulk shear values are a bit stronger than models were previously showing, at around 30-40kts. Regional radar was showing a line of widespread thunderstorms just behind the front across south central to east central NE. This line of storms may have some breaks in it, but should remain fairly well organized as it progresses through the area, due to the atmospheric conditions. The primary hazards with any strong storms initially should be large hail, and may progress into more of a damaging wind threat by early evening. 0-1km shear values are pretty weak at around 10kts and are fairly unidirectional, so the tornadic threat is quite low. PWAT values will be upwards of 1.5 to 2 inches, with the highest PWAT values unfortunately located across east central KS where the heaviest rainfall amounts have fallen within the last couple of days. The progressive nature of the thunderstorms should limit any flooding concerns to localized areas, but have kept the Flash Flood Watch in effect through late this evening across east central KS in case some of the higher model QPF amounts shift further north into that area. Conditions should quickly dry out overnight with surface high pressure advancing into the area behind the exiting cold front. Despite the combination of moisture from the rainfall and clearing skies with high pressure, model soundings show strong enough winds just a few hundred feet above the surface that should support sufficient mixing to diminish the concern for fog development overnight into Saturday. High pressure will overspread the area through the day on Saturday, resulting in abundant sunshine and cooler than normal conditions with high temperatures only reaching into the middle 70s. .LONG TERM...(Saturday Night through Friday) Issued at 254 PM CDT FRI SEP 9 2016 Saturday night through Sunday night, the center of a surface ridge of high pressure will shift southeast into the lower MS river valley by Sunday night. Expect mostly clear skies and pleasant conditions. Highs on Sunday will reach the upper 70s to lower 80s. Lows Saturday night will drop into the the lower 50s, some areas across north central and northeast KS may see upper 40s. Monday through Tuesday, An upper level trough will move east across the northern plains while a closed upper low amplifies across the western US. As the H5 trough moves east across the northern plains Monday afternoon, a surface cold front will push southeast across the central plains and into north central KS during the late afternoon hours of Monday. The front will then slowly shift southeast cross the CWA brining a chance for showers and thunderstorms from late Monday afternoon through Tuesday evening. The front should push south of the CWA Tuesday night. Highs on Monday ahead of the surface front will warm into the mid 80s. Tuesday highs will be dependent on the position of the surface front. Most of the area will be northwest of the front during the afternoon hours, so expect mostly cloudy skies with a chance for post frontal rain showers and highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s. The front may not reach the southeast counties until the afternoon hours and highs across the southeast counties will reach around 80 degrees. Wednesday and Wednesday night, if the front pushes far enough south we may be mostly dry for this period. Highs will cool behind the front into the lower to mid 70s, and may be a bit cooler if clouds hold for the entire day. Thursday through Friday, The front will move back north across KS and minor H5 troughs will eject northeast across the plains around the deeper H5 trough across the western US. There will be a chance for showers and thunderstorms through the period. Highs will gradually warm into the mid to upper 70s on Thursday and if the warm front moves north of the CWA by Friday, highs will warm into the lower 80s. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday Night) Issued at 1213 AM CDT SAT SEP 10 2016 Clouds and precip expected to clear TAF sites within the hour as upper system pushes east. Winds in the column appear to stay up enough overnight to prevent fog at terminals but noted to watch. LLWS should also remain at bay as surface winds remain mixed. && .TOP Watches/Warnings/Advisories... Flash Flood Watch until 1 AM CDT early this morning for KSZ054>056-058-059. && SHORT TERM...Hennecke LONG TERM...Gargan AVIATION...67
