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.
