LawsonWhat 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 Oct 8, 3:45 PM CDT, 36 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 8, 3:45 PM CDT, 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 345 PM CDT Mon Oct 8 2018 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night) Issued at 344 PM CDT Mon Oct 8 2018 A continued wet/stormy weather pattern anticipated across much of the region through Tuesday night, with periodic widespread showers and thunderstorms. The culprits are an unseasonably strong/deep upper trough moving slowly across the western CONUS, with an associated wobbly deep frontal zone situated southwest to northeast across Mid-America. These features will combine with anomalously high rich & deep moisture stemming from the tropics to produce continued areas of heavy rain. Widespread flooding concerns are expected to continue, both low- land and river flooding. A handful of rivers are expected to reach moderate to major flood stage, with a few record crests possible if the heavy rainfall forecast verifies. Will expand the flood watch to include far eastern counties through Tuesday night, given the threat of heavy rainfall getting into southeast Kansas Tuesday and Tuesday night. For this evening and tonight...thinking activity will generally be most concentrated/widespread generally along and west of the Flint Hills corridor. Another widespread 1-2 inches, with locally higher amounts are likely. While widespread severe weather is not expected, cannot rule out a few strong to marginally severe storms through early evening from roughly the turnpike on east, given the strong low-level shear and modest low-level CAPE. An isolated funnel cloud or brief tornado is possible given these strong shear values combined with the low cloud bases. More widespread showers/thunderstorms with heavy rain are likely Tuesday, as the powerful upper trough begins lifting out of the desert southwest. An additional 1-2" with locally higher amounts are likely. Additionally, with strong forcing lifting out and low- level shear a bit better, severe threat may be a bit higher, generally along/east of the I-135 corridor, where potential for broken sunshine may boost instability some. Main threats will be localized damaging winds, along with an isolated tornado threat given the low cloud bases, low-level instability, and low-level shear. The wet pattern should gradually end from west to east Tuesday evening and night, as the upper trough ejects northeast across Mid- America, although river flooding will linger for days after. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 344 PM CDT Mon Oct 8 2018 A coolish weather pattern will continue the remainder of the next 7 days, with below normal temperatures expected. A few more shots of rain are coming, one Thursday night into early Friday, and the other late Friday night through Saturday night. Heavy rain threat looks minimal with the first system, although the 2nd system looks a bit more impressive, so could be looking at pockets of heavy rain late Friday night through Saturday night. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon) Issued at 1204 PM CDT Mon Oct 8 2018 Aviation concerns for the 18z TAF forecast period continue to be low ceilings and widespread showers and thunderstorms across central and south central Kansas. The Plains remains in a large area of moisture transport today and tonight which will allow for continued widespread moderate to heavy showers with a few pockets of thunder. Expect that periodic reduced visibilities along with low ceilings and pockets of very heavy rainfall at KHUT, KICT, KSLN, KGBD, and KRSL for the next 24 hours. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
