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 18, 6:36 PM CDT, 4 hours 57 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 18, 6:36 PM CDT, 4 hours 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Topeka KS 636 PM CDT Thu May 18 2017 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tonight) Issued at 159 PM CDT Thu May 18 2017 Focus for tonight will be the threat for severe weather across northeast Kansas. This afternoon, a warm front was noted across east central Kansas oriented from east to west. Main concern this afternoon will be if storms begin to develop along this warm front as the HRRR has been depicting in model runs. CAPE near/south of this boundary is over 3000 J/kg with effective bulk shear values of 50 knots. During the afternoon hours, the NAM also shows 0-1 shear along this boundary around 25 knots, with steep mid-level lapse rates. Any discrete storms forming along this boundary will have the potential to quickly become supercellular with the main hazards being large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. If storms do form this afternoon, exact details for tonight look more unclear as instability will be weaker and subsidence from storms may act to alleviate severity later tonight. For tonight, storms that are expected to fire up on the dry line located in southwestern Kansas and extending southward into Oklahoma. Models have been fairly consistent in having these storms congeal into a line/bow and move through northeast Kansas this evening. This would bring a main hazard of widespread wind damage across the area, although hail or an embedded spin up tornado cannot be ruled out. Additional development behind this line is possible bringing another round of heavy rain to the area, increasing the potential for flash flooding. This is especially true in areas in north central Kansas that have already seen heavy rainfall totals earlier in the week. With the potential for more developing showers and thunderstorms tomorrow, a flash flood watch has been issued for the entirety of northeast Kansas beginning this afternoon and extending into Saturday morning. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Thursday) Issued at 159 PM CDT Thu May 18 2017 The vast majority of the long term forecast period forecast effort focuses on Friday and Friday night severe/flooding potential, with periods beyond that generally trending toward a model consensus at this time with minimal expected impacts through the remainder of the forecast. For Friday, much of the details will lie in how quickly convection exits the area early Friday morning. Current indications are that it will make a substantial eastward push overnight and exit the region early. If this occurs, it would give much of the forecast area more time to recharge instability as the true warm front surges/mixes back north during the day in advance of a strong upper level trough. Long, clockwise curved hodographs with low LCL/LFC heights and rather steep lapse rates through the cloud- bearing layer all point to another day with widespread severe weather potential. This will include tornado potential across the warm sector, and the most likely this warm sector will include much of eastern Kansas with main uncertainty being in the northwestward extent. There are two potential limiting factors. 1) Early day convection ends late and keeps the boundary layer stable for much of the day, effectively mitigating instability. 2) Storms develop too close to each other, resulting in continued hail and damaging wind potential but limiting overall tornado potential. Regardless, severe storms are possible with some potential for another higher-end episode of severe weather. The other concern will be flash flooding with multiple rounds of thunderstorm again possible over what is likely to be saturated ground conditions with elevated stream levels after tonight's storms. WPC has the area in a moderate risk for excessive rainfall and for good reason, so have continued the flash flood watch through Friday night. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening) Issued at 636 PM CDT Thu May 18 2017 VFR conditions will occur outside of convection through 07Z. MVFR cigs are expected after 07Z and prior to that with convection. MVFR and ifr vsbys are expected with storms. Showers along with isolated tsra are expected at TOP and FOE from 07Z-12Z then again after 18Z Friday. Also some ifr cigs may move into the MHK area after 19Z. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flash Flood Watch through Saturday morning for KSZ008>012- 020>024-026-034>040-054>056-058-059. && SHORT TERM...Heller LONG TERM...Barjenbruch AVIATION...53

Thunderstorms will be scattered overnight. Locally heavy rainfall and small hail will be possible with the storms. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday. Additional thunderstorms are likely on Friday afternoon. While some details depend on the exact evolution of storms tonight, there is increasing confidence that multiple rounds of thunderstorms can be expected Friday afternoon into Friday night. These storms will likely be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes, and flash flooding. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
