$$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 Wichita, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 20, 6:24 AM CDT, 2 hours 21 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 20, 6:24 AM CDT, 2 hours 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 624 AM CDT Sat May 20 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Monday night) Issued at 330 AM CDT Sat May 20 2017 The mid/upper level low will lift slowly northeast across Nebraska today and into the Upper Midwest by late tonight. A brisk and cooler northwest surface flow will prevail in the systems wake today with any lingering showers exiting the area during the morning. Clouds will be slow to scour in the moist cyclonic flow around the departing surface/low level cyclone with even limited heating tending to develop some diurnal stratocu in areas that partially clear. Rapid clearing and diminishing winds this evening/tonight will allow for a rather chilly night with lows well below climo. The weekend will finish dry and warmer with highs closer to mid- May climo. An upper trof rotating within the developing mean longwave and around the upper low centered over western Ontario province will drop south across the northern Plains during Monday. While some elevated convection is possible early Monday morning, modest moisture return ahead of the associated surface cold front is expected to result in MLCAPE values around 1200 j/kg by Monday afternoon. This in combo with modest deep layer shear around 35 kts may support marginally strong storms along the cold front as it moves south across the forecast area late Monday afternoon and evening. Darmofal .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Friday) Issued at 330 AM CDT Sat May 20 2017 A significant upper trof will continue to drop south and east across the central CONUS which will amplify the mean longwave over the eastern CONUS through mid-week. This will allow cooler air to advect south across Kansas on Tuesday. Some light precip chances will be maintained as well with generally dry weather and a warming trend by Thursday as a shortwave ridge translates east across the area. Troughing over the western CONUS and the influence of minor perturbations which ripple downstream over the Plains could give rise to slight precip/convective chances by Friday and into the start of the holiday weekend. KED && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning) Issued at 621 AM CDT Sat May 20 2017 MVFR will prevail through the morning hours before conditions begin to improve with VFR anticipated this afternoon and tonight. There will be a transient period of IFR/LIFR across Southeast KS where some -DZ will exist before the front pushes east of the area by 13-14Z. Breezy northwest winds at 15-20 knots will also be common before diminishing this evening. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
