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 Topeka, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jul 26, 6:34 PM CDT, 1 hour 39 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 26, 6:34 PM CDT, 1 hour 39 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Topeka KS 634 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2020 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 349 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2020 As of mid-afternoon, a hot and very humid airmass remained in place over northeastern Kansas with heat index values between 100 and 105 degrees. Thus, we will allow the current Heat Advisory to remain in place until 7:00 PM. Focus will then turn toward thunderstorm and flooding potential this evening and tonight. At 20Z, storms that had developed in southeastern Nebraska along a weak surface trough ahead of an advancing cold front were slowly sagging southward toward the KS border. Aloft, a large trough centered over central Canada was working across the Dakotas. As the trough moves eastward, the surface front will continue to advance south, entering northern Kansas this evening. Forcing along the boundary will allow continued rain and thunderstorm development this evening. A few storms this afternoon and evening could be strong to severe with damaging wind being the most likely hazard given CAPE values between 4000 and 5000 J/kg. Shear, however, is the limiting factor with only about 15 to 20 kts of effective bulk shear expected this afternoon and evening. Flash flooding looks to be the bigger concern area-wide with this round of rain for several reasons: weak flow aloft will allow the surface boundary to be slow moving through the night and ample moisture is readily available. Dewpoints are in the mid 70s, models show Pwats exceeding 2.0 inches near the boundary, and forecast soundings depict a fairly saturated column across the area. Storms could produce a widespread one to two inches of rain with locally higher amounts possible into tomorrow morning. As such, a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect until 7 AM tomorrow morning. The boundary should become more diffuse during the day tomorrow so rain will begin to taper off. Lingering showers and cloud cover will keep conditions cool (relatively speaking) through the day with highs in the low 80s. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 349 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2020 General upper level troughing will dominate our pattern through the week - quite the shift from our recent large scale ridging. Thus, conditions are expected to be much cooler this week with highs remaining in the 80s. Periodic rain chances occur in the forecast with the next decent chance looking to arrive Wednesday when an upper system develops off the northern Intermountain West and slides southward over the central Plains. Models show that system producing rainfall over the area through the end of the week and we are continuing to forecast total rainfall amounts of two to four inches across the entire forecast area through the end of this upcoming workweek. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) Issued at 634 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2020 Outflow boundary has moved through TOP and should move through MHK and FOE around the start of the forecast period. Will keep vcts wording going as much of the convection will be scattered and may remain to the west of each of the terminals. A line of tsra sagging southward may affect the terminals after 04Z and will update for this as needed. MVFR vsbys will be common with any of the tsra and could have brief reductions to ifr as well. Cigs look to remain vfr til 12Z when mvfr cigs are expected through about 21Z with scattered shra and tsra. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
