...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM CDT
SATURDAY...

* Heat Indices...from 105 to 109 degrees are expected during the 
  afternoon and early evening hours each day.

* Impacts...Prolonged exposure to the heat and humidity may lead 
  to heat-related illnesses if precautions are not taken.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks
in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by
heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location at once. Heat
stroke is an emergency. CALL 9 1 1.

Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When
possible...reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when
possible and drink plenty of water.

An Excessive Heat Warning means that a prolonged period of
dangerously hot temperatures will occur. The combination of hot
temperatures and high humidity will create a dangerous situation
where heat illnesses are likely. Drink plenty of fluids and stay
in an air conditioned room. Stay out of the sun and check up on
relatives and neighbors. Temperatures within vehicles can become
lethal in a few minutes. Never leave children or pets in
vehicles. Remember to beat the heat...check the backseat.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this excessive heat 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 excessive heat warning went out at Jul 17, 3:15 PM CDT, 3 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 17, 3:15 PM CDT, 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
315 PM CDT Mon Jul 17 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 312 PM CDT Mon Jul 17 2017

The main weather concern will be a prolonged period of heat for
Tuesday through at least Saturday.

Tonight through Tuesday:

A vort shear axis over the central High Plains, will move slowly
eastward across southern Nebraska and northern Kansas tonight into
Tuesday. Weak ascent from this feature, combined with 850 mb
moisture transport, will continue to initiate thunderstorms from
south-central Nebraska into northwest Kansas this afternoon and
evening, with east-southeastward propagation overnight. Will
maintain low probabilities (20-40%) of storms tonight for our
central Kansas counties near and north of Interstate 70. Storm
chances should shift eastward over northeast Kansas and northwest
Missouri on Tuesday. 1000-850 thicknesses climb sufficiently such
that highs Tuesday should be a few degrees warmer than this
afternoon, around the century mark in central Kansas, with mid-
upper 90s in the south. A few counties up along I-70 may reach a
heat index of around 105 in the afternoon, with most of the area
in the 100-104 range.

Wednesday through Friday:

An upper high center of 594 to 597 decameters will build over the
south-central CONUS, with lee troughing and increasing 1000-850 mb
thicknesses across Kansas. Expecting most of central and south-
central Kansas to have high temperatures in the 100-105 degree range
by Thursday/Friday with upper 90s in the southeast. The degree to
which mixing lowers afternoon dewpoints becomes more uncertain
during this period, especially across central/south-central Kansas.
Feel confident that Salina will see back to back days of 105 heat
indices and will include them in the excessive heat warning that
covers northeast Kansas. Additional counties may need heat
headlines, especially if the short range models continue to have a
slight low bias on afternoon dewpoints, likely due to
underestimation of evapotranspiration effects.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 312 PM CDT Mon Jul 17 2017

There is reasonable agreeement in the GFS, ECMWF, and Canadian GEM
that Saturday will be another hot day across the forecast area to
the south of a cold front. The deterministic GFS is less amplified
with the parent shortwave in the northern branch Sunday into Monday,
compared to the ECMWF and GEM. Therefore, the GFS is slower to bring
the front through the forecast area late Sunday into Monday. For
now, a blended approach will allow highs coming down to near
seasonal climatological averages by Monday. Thunderstorm chances
will be in the forecast Saturday night into possibly Monday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 1205 PM CDT Mon Jul 17 2017

VFR conditions expected to prevail thru the forecast valid period.
Diurnal cumulus field, mainly scattered, will affect much of the
area into the late afternoon. A weak disturbance aloft rotating
northeast around the upper ridge will graze north central Kansas
thru tonight, possibly supporting isolated convection along and
north of the I-70 corridor. However, due to the small coverage
and chances will omit from the terminals for now.
