SkowWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 21, 12:56 PM CDT, 2 hours 26 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 21, 12:56 PM CDT, 2 hours 26 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Topeka KS 1256 PM CDT Tue May 21 2019 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 334 AM CDT Tue May 21 2019 Stratiform rain showers this morning generally southeast of the Topeka area have brought wind gusts on the back edge of the rain, with gusts near 50 mph in some locations. Next round of showers and embedded thunder developing across Wichita's area and lifting to the northeast. Track of this moisture will depend in part on how the surface low develops over the next several hours. Strongly dynamic upper trof continues to lift slowly out of the southwestern states into the panhandles early this Tuesday morning. Surface low develops in response, and lifts northward through central Kansas through the afternoon hours. While western counties had a break in the rain in the early morning hours, think this area will fill back in as the low lifts northward and bring another generally half inch or so of rainfall, with higher amounts of another inch to inch and a half across the eastern counties. It will take very little rainfall to cause issues with flooding, given very saturated ground and area creeks and streams already running high. Flash flood watch remains in place until 7pm this evening. Area also remains under a slight risk for severe storms as the warm front lifts northward today, bringing a plume of instability as it does so. Storms that may get started, particularly near the surface low, will have enhanced low level shear, and if storms can get started before lifting over the warm front or along the advancing cold front, there could be a low end chance for a tornado. Otherwise wind and hail remain the primary hazards. High temperatures this afternoon should rise near 70 degrees as the front lifts northward, with overnight lows falling into the 40s and 50s Tuesday night. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 334 AM CDT Tue May 21 2019 Wednesday is expected to be the one period of the next week without a chance for precip. Subsidence from the departing upper low passes overhead and should bring mostly sunny skies to the area. Highs are expected to range from the lower to the upper 70s. However models indicate a weak boundary or inverted trough moving into the forecast area Wednesday evening as a low level strengthens. Convergence and moisture advection into this boundary may be enough for thunderstorms to develop. Effective shear is progged by the GFS forecast soundings to be around 40KT. This would support organized updrafts and some potential for large hail and possibly damaging winds. For Thursday afternoon and Thursday night, the next closed upper low is expected to lift through the central Rockies and into the northern plains. Forecast soundings do not show much inhibition to the boundary layer as surface dewpoints increase into the mid and upper 60s. With increasing instability and deep layer shear forecast to be on the order of 55KT, there could be supercell thunderstorms. The better forcing and lift for initiation looks to be west of the forecast area, so the thinking is storms form over western KS and move into the area during the afternoon and evening. At this time forecast hodographs across north central KS would support some risk for tornados. For Friday through Sunday, models show southwest flow aloft persisting with a possible weak boundary over the area. Models show a moist and unstable airmass remaining over the region. So chances for thunderstorms remains in the forecast, and there could be severe weather to contend with. For Monday the next closed upper low is expected to approach the central plains. For now models show a warm front possibly across northern KS acting as a focus for thunderstorms. Differences in the track and strength of the upper low become a little more apparent by Monday so confidence in precip chances is about average for a day seven forecast. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1256 PM CDT Tue May 21 2019 MVFR ceilings will continue for TOP and FOE, and IFR ceilings for MHK as precipitation continues through the area. Isolated thunderstorms are possible later in the afternoon and into the evening. Confidence in thunderstorm intensity and coverage is uncertain at this time. Strong surface winds will veer through the period and continue through the evening and morning hours for all sites. LLWS is possible at TOP and FOE as the low-level jet increases this evening. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flash Flood Watch until 7 PM CDT this evening for KSZ008>012- 020>024-026-034>040-054>056-058-059. && SHORT TERM...67 LONG TERM...Wolters AVIATION...Bunker/Hennecke

Additional rainfall today will continue to exacerbate flooding across the area, with several rivers rising into or above flood stage. Flash flooding is also possible in locally heavy rainfall over saturated ground, and a flash flood watch remains in effect through this evening. Thunderstorms that develop this afternoon and evening may become severe, with large hail and damaging winds the primary hazard, with an isolated tornado also possible. This threat is greater near the surface low and warm front as they move through central and north central Kansas. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday. Wednesday evening thunderstorms may bring another chance for severe weather, with another threat for severe storms on Thursday into Thursday night. River flooding is expected to continue through much of the week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is possible for a few strong storms this afternoon and evening. && More detailed information can be accessed at... http://www.weather.gov/top/sitrep
