Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched 26 storm reports to this flash flood warning; the first came 53 minutes after it went out.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Dodge City, (KDDC), launched 12:00Z, 7.5 hours before the alert went out and 216 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

BUTLER COUNTY...

At 859 PM CDT, Doppler radar indicated widespread 3 to 5 inches of 
rainfall across the county from earlier heavy rains. Flash flooding 
will likely continue through the night with several roads closed due 
to high water.

Some locations that will experience flooding include...

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded
roads. Find an alternate route.

Please report flooding to your local law enforcement agency when you
can do so safely.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash 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 flash flood warning went out at May 24, 1:17 PM CDT, 1 hour 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 24, 1:17 PM CDT, 1 hour 15 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
117 PM CDT Fri May 24 2019

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Tonight)
Issued at 319 AM CDT Fri May 24 2019

Active pattern looks to continue for several more days, with
numerous rounds of thunderstorms expected through Tuesday evening.

A synoptic pattern favorable for essentially daily rounds of
thunderstorms across Mid-America has set up across the country,
featured by a western CONUS longwave trough and eastern CONUS
ridge. Periodic shortwaves ejecting northeast out of the base of
the longwave trough have and will continue to interact with a very
moist/unstable boundary layer across Mid-America. NAEFS
standardized anomaly plots suggest the western CONUS trough and
mid/upper winds fields are anomalously deep/strong, with
anomalously high low-level moisture/precipitable water
values...all ingredients needed for multi-day strong/severe storms
and heavy rain/flooding.

Current activity progressing across southern/central KS should
continue to wane in intensity as the early morning progresses,
although cannot rule out a stray severe wind gust, especially if a
bowing segment can align itself NNW-SSE perpendicular to 0-3km
shear vectors. Imagine we'll be able to cancel tornado watch
early.

Otherwise, a few showers/thunderstorms may linger through the
morning across the area within a zone of rich mid-level moisture
and warm advection. Current activity will lay out a weak/subtle
low- level baroclinic zone across the area this afternoon, which
will be the focus for renewed development this afternoon/evening.
Thinking this will be mainly east/southeast of a line from Pratt-
Lyons- Salina. 700mb temperatures don't look quite as warm today
compared to yesterday, so activity may tend to go up faster and
more widespread. That said, extensive clouds, rich mid-level
moisture and the shear number of storms may limit the overall
severe threat, although still expecting at least a handful of
strong/severe storms. Main threats will be hail/wind, although
cannot rule out an isolated tornado. The bigger story may be
potential for very heavy rainfall, with efficient rain producers
due to high PW values. Will continue the flash flood watch through
tonight, expanding to include a few more southeast KS counties.

Kleinsasser

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 319 AM CDT Fri May 24 2019

The evening-overnight hours of both Saturday and Sunday look
active as well, as model consensus ejects a pair of shortwaves
northeast over Mid-America. Details regarding placement of the
highest PoPs are still unclear, but continued strong
moisture/instability coupled with at least modest deep layer shear
will support another couple rounds of strong to severe storms
along with very heavy rainfall.

Monday-Monday night may actually turn out to be on the quiet
side, as model consensus keeps the best low-level focus for
convection across Nebraska. However, another round of storms is
expected again by Tuesday afternoon-evening, as a deep trough and
associated strong cold front approach from the west/northwest.

Finally a relief from the barrage of daily storms is expected to
arrive by mid week, as the overall favorable synoptic pattern
breaks down.

Kleinsasser

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 108 PM CDT Fri May 24 2019

Primary aviation concerns: TSRA, MVFR CIGS, and LLWS

A surface boundary stretches southwest to northeast from the Texas
Panhandle through northern Missouri. An unstable and very moist
airmass along this boundary will lead to scattered to numerous
thunderstorms with reductions in VIS/CIGs. The coverage of TSRA
may wane some after 06z, potentially with a break through Saturday
morning. Late tonight, a brief period of LLWS may develop as well.
Lower CIGs will continue to be a concern as well.

Martin

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 319 AM CDT Fri May 24 2019

Several more rounds of thunderstorms are expected through Tuesday
evening, with a continued very heavy rainfall threat. Given
saturated soils, low FFG values and already swollen
rivers/streams, flooding issues will likely continue and even
worsen for some.

The greatest threat this afternoon-evening will be generally
southeast of a line from Pratt-Lyons-Salina. Numerous storms are
expected, and will likely be efficient rain producers given high
PW values and relatively higher mid-level moisture. Activity will
tend to train SW-NE along a quasi-stationary frontal zone.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms will impact the region, likely
most numerous this afternoon and evening generally southeast of a
line extending from Salina to Lyons. Strong to severe thunderstorms
are likely, with the primary threat being large hail and damaging
winds, although an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.

Additionally, a flash flood threat is expected to develop this
afternoon and evening, as numerous thunderstorms may tend to move
over the same areas. Please refer to the Flash Flood Watch for
additional information.

Widespread river flooding, some of which is significant, will
continue to be a threat as well. Please see the latest River Flood
Warnings for the latest information.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Periodic rounds of thunderstorms with heavy rain, flooding, and
severe weather will continue to threaten the area at times through
Tuesday evening. Please continue to monitor later forecasts as we
refine the threat areas for each day.

Significant and high-impact river flooding will continue well into
next week. Please see the latest River Flood Warnings for the
latest information.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is likely this afternoon and evening, mainly
southeast of a line extending from Salina to Lyons.
