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 24, 2:42 AM CDT, 7 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 24, 2:42 AM CDT, 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Dodge City KS
242 AM CDT Fri May 24 2019

...Updated Long Term...

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 1213 AM CDT Fri May 24 2019

Waves of convection continue to regenerate across SW KS as of
midnight, as dynamic lift continues to arrive and interact with a
highly moist, unstable airmass. The threat of severe wind/hail and
tornadoes has virtually ended, with the risk now shifting toward
flooding. Storms are highly efficient rain producers, and training
of echoes over saturated soil will aggravate flooding concerns
over the next several hours. Eventually, the HRRR shows convection
exiting eastward out of SW Kansas by sunrise.

A relative break in convection is expected on Friday, as the
effective focusing boundary and instability is shunted to the
south and east of SW KS. Models place the boundary near the far SE
zones, and this is where chance category pops were retained (south
and east of Dodge City). Slight risk of severe from SPC for Barber
county and vicinity appears appropriate, although it appears
storms will struggle to develop any further NW than that. Friday
will be much warmer, as some sunshine and south winds return, with
afternoon temperatures rebounding well into the 70s.

Another round of severe convection is anticipated for Saturday.
00z NAM shows very strong instability building over SW KS in the
afternoon, beneath continued SW flow aloft. NAM progs CAPE on the
order of 3-4000 J/kg and lifted indices to -10C Saturday. 500 mb
flow is notably weaker than we have seen recently, but still
sufficient for convective organization and supercells. In fact,
NAM depicts enhanced 0-1 km EHI over SW KS Saturday evening as the
low level jet intensifies. Assuming discrete storm modes can be
maintained, we are expecting supercells with a distinct tornado
risk late Saturday. Kept scattered/chance category pops in the
grids Saturday afternoon, with warmer temperatures in the lower
80s.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Thursday)
Issued at 242 AM CDT Fri May 24 2019

One more round of severe convection is apparent for Sunday.
Energetic SW flow aloft is maintained, in response to an intense
cold closed low sinking south through California through Sunday. A
lead shortwave ejecting onto the plains ahead of this feature will
increase dynamic lift by late Sunday, interacting with the
dryline. CAPE and shear parameters will again support supercell
thunderstorms and potentially high-end hail/tornado events.
NAM forecasts extreme instability in SW KS late Sunday, with CAPE
as high as 5000 J/kg along with surface dewpoints near 70 F.
Approaching shortwave will augment bulk shear such that supercell
mode will be favored across the western counties Sunday afternoon.
Likely pops are warranted through Sunday evening. Mesoscale
influences are difficult/impossible to determine on Day 3, but
clearly a severe threat is present on Sunday as outlined by SPC.

Western closed low weakens slightly and is forecast to reach Utah
on Memorial Day. With the approach of the upper low and the
resulting stronger lee trough, the holiday will be windy, with
south winds averaging 20-30 mph with higher gusts. Models remain
consistent with a break in the convection Monday, with the dryline
effectively capped.

The upper low is consistently progged to arrive in Nebraska on
Tuesday, with the accompanying cold front bringing a NWly wind
shift and noticeably cooler temperatures. Some showers and
thunderstorms may accompany this frontal passage, but amounts and
coverage appear to be limited. Behind the front, Wednesday and
Thursday are expected to be dry and stable with no thunderstorms.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1107 PM CDT Thu May 23 2019

Scattered convection will continue for a few more hours, with
locally heavy rain and reduced cig/vis. HRRR model shows
convection ending and/or exiting eastward out of SW KS by 12z Fri,
with dry conditions returning to the airports. Outside of
convection, winds will trend light NW overnight, before becoming
light and variable around sunrise Friday. After 18z Fri, modestly
gusty south/southeast winds will resume at all airports, averaging
10-20 kts. VFR will prevail daylight Friday, with afternoon
convection favoring areas south and east of DDC.

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...south
central...southwest and west central Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Day 1 Discussion
----------------

Showers and thunderstorms are expected today and tonight. Locally
heavy rainfall is likely, with the threat of flooding highest
across the southeast zones. Some storms this afternoon through
this evening will be strong to severe, with the primary threat
being large hail. Across the far southeast zones, including Meade,
Clark, Comanche and Barber counties, a tornado risk will exist
this afternoon and evening if warmer more humid air can move into
Kansas. Currently, the tornado threat is expected to remain
mainly just to the south of Kansas.

Day 1 Hazards
-------------
* Tornado: Limited risk
* Hail: Elevated risk
* Thunderstorm wind damage: Limited risk
* Flooding: Elevated risk
* Lightning: Elevated risk

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.

Days 2-7 Discussion
