What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter storm 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 winter storm warning went out at Mar 1, 3:13 PM CST, 10 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 1, 3:13 PM CST, 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Topeka KS
Issued by National Weather Service Wichita KS
313 PM CST Fri Mar 1 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 307 PM CST Fri Mar 1 2019

Forecast highlights focus on impending winter storm Saturday
night through early Sunday, and bitter cold air through early next
week.

A potent shortwave currently off the California coast will move
rapidly east over the region Saturday night through early Sunday,
spreading widespread accumulating snow across Mid-America. Snow
should start from west to east 7-10pm Saturday, and end 6-9am
Sunday. Despite the system's fast movement, this will likely be an
efficient snow-maker given strong lift amidst a deep isothermal
layer in the dendritic snow growth region. There are also hints of
weak instability above the strongest lift, further enhancing
snowfall rates. Consequently, expecting snow to liquid ratios on
the order of 15-20:1. With model consensus supporting total liquid
amounts of 0.20-0.40", this should support widespread snow
accumulations of 3-6", likely heaviest generally along/south of I-
70. Can't rule out a few higher amounts. Given the light/powdery
nature to the snow along with the expected 15-25 mph north winds
likely producing considerable blowing/drifting, decided to
upgrade to a winter storm warning for Ottawa, Dickinson, Geary and
Morris counties. Do not think winds will be nearly strong enough
for blizzard conditions. Left the winter storm watch in place
most everywhere else to account for some minor changes in the
forecast track. Along the far northern row of Kansas counties
where amounts should stay below warning criteria, issued a winter
weather advisory.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 307 PM CST Fri Mar 1 2019

In wake of this system, bitter cold Arctic air will spill south
across the region. High temperatures Sunday will likely only reach
the single digits and teens, with wind chills well below zero.
With fresh snow cover, clearing skies and slackening winds, Sunday
night lows should dip well below zero, possibly down to -10 for
central and northern counties. Meanwhile, coldest wind chill
values Sunday night into Monday morning will likely be -15 to -25.
Anticipate later shifts will need to contemplate a wind chill
advisory or warning for these periods. Cold air remains in place
Monday and Tuesday, with temperatures finally moderating some by
mid-late week, although still likely below normal for this time of
year.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 1205 PM CST Fri Mar 1 2019

A weak cold front will track southward across the area this
afternoon/early evening, which will flip winds around to blow out
of the north/northeast. Went a little went a little more
pessimistic with 18z TAFs based on current obs and trends. Think
the MVFR cloud heights will hold on and be a little more
widespread than the previous forecast, so went with a prevailing
MVFR for the TAFs. However, it remains possible that some brief
clearing will occur early in the period, particularly around KFOE
and KTOP. Will continue to monitor cigs and adjust as needed.
