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 20, 1:26 PM CDT, 1 hour 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 20, 1:26 PM CDT, 1 hour 23 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
126 PM CDT Mon May 20 2019

...Updated for aviation discussion...

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 344 AM CDT Mon May 20 2019

Satellite and upper air analysis showed a strong upper level low
pressure system centered over the southern tip of Nevada. Upper
level southwesterly flow was increasing over the central and
southern High Plains. In the face of this, low pressure at the
surface was deepening over southern Colorado into eastern New
Mexico and this was pulling richer moisture back to the west and
northwest. Thunderstorms were developing after midnight over
eastern New Mexico and these were moving toward southwest Kansas.

A frontal boundary was located across the Texas Panhandle into Oklahoma
early this morning. The models continue to show this front staying
to the south of southwest Kansas during the day today, thanks in
part to the widespread convection that is expected over western
Kansas this morning. This will result in considerably less severe
weather impacts for the forecast area given that the more intense
surface based convection will also be to the south along the
front and dryline that extends into the southern Plains. Still,
the models show MUCAPE values as high as 1000-2000 j/kg edging
into the far southern portions of the forecast area today with
strong deep layer shear also in place. So large hail will still be
a threat.

Thunderstorms will continue to develop and move into far southwest
Kansas before sunrise this morning and then spread east across the
area through the morning hours and then exiting the forecast area
with a lull in storms this afternoon. Thunderstorms move back into
the area this evening as the upper system swings out into the
Plains. This second round of storms should move out of the
forecast area by Tuesday morning with some lingering showers and
thunderstorms generally confined to the area north of Highway 96
during the day.

As the upper system moves out, windy conditions will develop as surface
winds increase from the southwest to around 30 mph with gusts to
45-50 mph. Temperatures will be warming back up into the upper 60s
to mid 70s with more sunshine and downslope flow.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 344 AM CDT Mon May 20 2019

Medium range models continue to show the pattern of southwesterly
flow aloft over the central Plains as a quasi-stationary upper
trough persists over the western states and a ridge remains parked
over the southeast. Disturbances moving through the flow will
bring periodic chances for thunderstorms, along with the threat
for severe weather, to western Kansas through the extended period.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 116 PM CDT Mon May 20 2019

Rounds of showers and thunderstorms can be expected through the
period as a strong upper level storm system approaches. Moist
upslope flow will generally keep LIFR/IFR CIGS in place until
the upper system passes near the end of the period.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 344 AM CDT Mon May 20 2019

The threat for heavy rain along with flash flooding will looks viable
this afternoon and tonight. Some of the convective allowing models
have shifted the axis of the heaviest rain farther south into Oklahoma
while others continue to show a swath of significant rainfall centered
toward central and south central Kansas. Given that eastern portions
of the forecast area have recently seen significant rainfall with
antecedent soil moisture remaining high, will keep the flash flood
watch intact through Tuesday morning.
