What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill advisory 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 wind chill advisory went out at Jan 14, 3:02 PM CST, 12 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 14, 3:02 PM CST, 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Topeka KS 302 PM CST Sun Jan 14 2018 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 300 PM CST Sun Jan 14 2018 This afternoon skies have cleared across much of the CWA. southwest winds ahead of a weak surface trough across central KS has caused some weak WAA with temperatures in snow free areas of central and south central KS climbing into the mid 40s. Temperatures across the southwest counties have warmed into the mid to upper 30s. Tonight...an intense upper level trough across south central Canada will dig southward into the upper midwest. A 95 KT H5 jet max was digging south-southeast across the northern high plains into the central plains, on the west side of the intense upper level trough across south central Canada. As the H5 jet max shifts southeast across the plains the right exit region of the jet will move northwest to southeast across the CWA during the early morning hours. Strong frontogenetical forcing will develop at 700mb from central NE this evening and expand southeast into south central and southeast KS during the early morning hours. This will provide additional ascent for a band of light to moderate snow to develop. Due to the speed at which the H5 trough and associated jet max will dig southeast across the midwest and central plains the light to moderate snow band will move quickly southeast across the CWA during the early morning hours of Monday. Forecast sounding profiles show a warm nose of 2 to 4 degrees at 920mb which may cause the precip to fall as light rain in the mid evening hours across the western counties of the CWA, and perhaps a mix of precip across east central KS. Though wet-bulb cooling should cause the warm nose to cool down to or below 1 deg C after the first hour or two of light precip so that an all snow pattern develops. The potential heavier band of snow will develop along the I-70 corridor and move southward across southeast KS from 6Z through 10Z. At this time it looks like around 1 inch of snow will fall along the I-70 corridor with up to 2 inches across the extreme southern counties of the CWA. There could even be some 3 inch snow reports across south of a Chapman, to Ottawa line. However, some of the higher resolution grid models show less snow accumulations with near an inch along I-70 and up to 1.5 inches in our southern counties. Most of the snow will fall between 6Z and 9Z. North of I-70 expect less than an inch of snowfall. Therefore, I have issued a winter weather advisory along the I-70 corridor southward across the southern counties of the CWA from 5Z MON through 15Z MON. Strong low-level CAA was pushing an arctic front southward into northern NE this afternoon. This front will move southward across the CWA after midnight and bring in a much colder airmass. In fact, some of the most treacherous road conditions may be when the snow ends and the arctic air arrives between 8Z and 15Z, since any snow that melts on treated roadways may freeze once temperatures drop through the teens late Tonight and early Monday morning. Monday, any lingering light snow in the southeast counties will end during the mid morning hours. Skies will clear from west to east across the CWA during the afternoon hours. However the strong CAA will only allow highs to struggle into the mid to upper teens. Areas along the NE border may not reach 10 degrees for highs. northwest winds of 15 to 20 MPH with higher gusts will cause wind chill values to be in the single digits below zero. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 300 PM CST Sun Jan 14 2018 The strong Arctic high pressure center will continue to build into the region producing wind chills Monday night and Tuesday morning down into the -15 to -24F range area wide. Consensus with surrounding offices is to go ahead and issue a wind chill advisory for the entire area for Monday night through midday Tuesday. Given modest but new snow pack feel that lows should fall to 0 to -5F across the entire area despite the northwest winds of 5 to 10 mph. The high center will settle across the area Tuesday night into Weds so another cold night appears in store with lows approaching zero again before a substantial warm up begins on Weds and persists into late next week. Highs by Friday and Saturday could be approaching or exceeding 50. The longwave pattern by late next week into next weekend suggests the potential for a storm system to move across the region with rain or snow possible by Sunday. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 1148 AM CST Sun Jan 14 2018 Expect VFR conditions through mid evening. A band of light to possibly moderate snow at times will move southward across the terminals after 3Z MON. At this time I placed in 3SM visibilities in light snow from 4Z to 9Z at KTOP and KFOE and from 3Z to 8Z at KMHK. An arctic front will move southward across the terminals after 9Z switching winds to the north-northwest and these winds will increase to 12 to 15 KTS with gusts of 20 to 25KTS through the morning hours of Monday. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
