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 Wichita, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 15, 6:46 AM CDT, 4 hours 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 15, 6:46 AM CDT, 4 hours 1 minute before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
646 AM CDT Fri May 15 2020

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday night)
Issued at 300 AM CDT Fri May 15 2020

Convective line continues over the Flint hills and southeast KS at
this time with the tail end extending back into south central KS.
Also beginning to see additional storms developing over SW KS.
Latest RAP model veers to the E-SE the moisture transport that is
feeding the Flint Hills line of storms, so expect most of the
convection to shift E or SE into NE OK later this morning. But the
back edge of the low level moisture transport may bring the SW KS
convection into south central KS for the early morning hours as
well.  So could see the convection linger over southern KS for the
morning hours before slowly diminishing after sunrise.

Latest high Rez models suggest remnant surface boundary will still
be located over southern KS for the afternoon hours today.  A weak
low pressure area is expected to develop over central OK for the
afternoon hours, with moisture return just ahead of this low,
expected to lead to an unstable airmass creeping into southern KS
with 1500-2500 J/Kg of MLCAPE. For the early afternoon, bufkit
soundings suggests an elevated mixed layer (EML) will keep any
convection from developing.  But as the late afternoon progresses
into the evening, 850-700h moisture transport increases over the top
of the surface boundary, with this EML diminishing enough for
convection to develop during the early evening hours over southern
KS.  Bulk shear isnt all that impressive, around 20-30 kts, so think
a few strong to an isolated severe storm or two may be possible
given the unstable airmass expected south of the boundary. The
bigger concern will be training storms and possible renewed chances
of flash flooding for late this evening and overnight, across
southern KS. Precipitable water values are still 100-150 percent of
normal, so convection could produce some pockets of heavy rainfall.
Inherited a flash flood watch for most of the southern KS, and plan
on keep this going, given the renewed convective chance.

Some uncertainty on how late tonight into early Sat will play out,
as latest short term models suggest that moisture transport will
shift northeast, possibly leading to most of the convection lifting
northeast of the forecast area, by early Sat morning.

A moist an unstable environment looks to remain over the eastern
half of KS on Sat, as another weak shortwave moves out of the
Rockies into the plains. As this shortwave approaches, a cold
frontal boundary is expected to drop south across the forecast area
for Sat afternoon. Convergence along this boundary is expected to
lead to another round of showers and thunderstorms for areas mainly
along and east of the KS Turnpike for Sat afternoon into Sat
evening. Some uncertainty on how much instability will be available
ahead of the front, but shear around 30 kts suggests a strong to
severe storm chance, given expected instability of 1000-1500 j/kg.

Ketcham

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Thursday)
Issued at 300 AM CDT Fri May 15 2020

The Sat evening frontal boundary will finally sweep most of the
convective chances to the south and east of the area for Sun into
the beginning of the week, as an upper level ridge builds into the
high plains.  This will give areas hit by heavy rainfall over the
last few days a chance to dry out.  Expect near normal temperatures
in the middle 70s, with the ridge overhead.

The dry spell looks to continue at least through Tue and Wed as
well.  There is a chance of convection returning to the high plains
by Tue night, but most of this chance will stay west of the forecast
area.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning)
Issued at 645 AM CDT Fri May 15 2020

Current convective cluster of storms stretched from KHUT to KICT to
KCFV. So will have either prevailing TSRA or VCTS for the KHUT/KICT
and KCNU.  Expect this cluster of convection to continue at least
for the next 2 to 3 hours, before diminishing as it moves east-
southeast.

For the rest of the daytime hours expect VFR conditions. An
increasing unstable airmass will again pool over southern KS for
late this afternoon into this evening.  So plan on reintroducing
some VCTS and prevailing SHRA/VCTS for most taf locations after 23z.
Expect the strongest storms to be over southern KS near the KICT,
KCNU and KHUT taf locations.
