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 Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 28, 6:54 PM CDT, 1 hour 56 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 28, 6:54 PM CDT, 1 hour 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Dodge City KS 654 PM CDT Mon May 28 2018 ...Updated aviation discussion... .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 222 PM CDT Mon May 28 2018 Main concern today and tonight is the severe thunderstorm potential, which has already started. Think there are two areas of concerns for two different types of severe hazards. An OFB is running from central Ellis county all the way to Sherman county. To the west, a quasi-warm front or stationary boundary extends across portions of east-central Colorado. Am mainly concerned with tornado potential with these two boundaries if a storm/supercell were to interact with said boundaries. Mesoanalysis shows east winds behind this boundary along with locally higher STP values. So, putting this all together, for areas along and north of Highway 96, am concerned with tornadoes and secondary hail. To the south, higher LCL's and weaker lower level shear (weaker due to no boundaries nearby) will favor a more hail and wind threat. Think hail size of 2-3" is likely for initial supercells. Hail size will lower (per LHP) later this evening through upscale growth and higher beneficial competition of hail embryos. A wind threat will be the main concern late this evening for much of the rest of the forecast area as a squall line is eventually expected. Ignoring the tornado, hail and wind threat, the central zones and perhaps eastern zones stand to see a good chance at seeing 1-2" of rain with the squall line if it actually develops like some of the meso models are suggesting. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday) Issued at 222 PM CDT Mon May 28 2018 Severe thunderstorm potential for tomorrow will all depend on what happens tonight and where the mesoscale boundaries/warm sector ends up. EC suggests the main threat will be along and east of Highway 283. A cooler bl along with associated lower LCL's do suggest some tornado threat tomorrow. Best areas per warm sector placement from the models would be across the eastern/southeastern zones. Left the rest of the extended as is with FB pops and temps. Warm and dry is the long and short of it. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 654 PM CDT Mon May 28 2018 A scattered band of thunderstorms will move through southwest and central Kansas through the evening hours before moving east of the region. The main threats for severe weather will include large hail and wind gusts to 50-55 knots at the southwest Kansas terminals through about 02-03z. MVFR cigs can also be expected with the thunderstorms. Conditions will be improving area-wide after 04-06z. LLWS is also expected to occur through the night. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
