What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this heat advisory 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 heat advisory went out at Aug 22, 2:34 PM CDT, 8 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 22, 2:34 PM CDT, 8 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
234 PM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 231 PM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021

Bottom line up front: A slim chance of a late afternoon or early
evening storm along and north of Interstate 70. Then a return of
very warm temperatures for most of work week.

Low level moisture transport and warm advection led a few isolated
showers across the Flint Hills today, but the main story for the
afternoon will be a return of very warm and breezy conditions.

Some upslope flow has led to some instability pooling across NW KS
this afternoon, which may lead to a few showers/storms for areas NW
of the forecast area late this afternoon. There is a slim chance
that an isolated storm may develop near KRSL, or points just to
the NW of Russell Co, so will leave a slight pop in for the late
afternoon for this chance. Think most of the convection that
develops over NW KS will stay north of I-70 and central KS.

SW flow and a lee side trough has reestablished itself along the
front range. This will lead to very warm and breezy conditions for
Monday through Wed, as convective chances shift back north into Neb.
1000-850h partial thickness values suggest max temps will climb back
into the mid to upper 90s for Mon and the upper 90s to near 100 for
Tue/Wed. The breezy conditions will help surface dewpoints mix out
for the afternoon hours in most locations, keeping Wet Bulb Globe
Temps (WBGT) and heat index values below heat advisory values. But I
am concerned that SE KS will not mix out as well, with Heat index
values possibly climbing to 105 or 106.  So have decided to go with
a heat advisory for at least Mon. Depending on if the surface
dewpoints mix out on Mon, I could see the Heat advisory extended
into Tue and Wed as well with later updates.

Most of the convective chances will stay well north of the forecast
area through Wed. Could see some convection try to get going across
NW KS on Tue evening, but as this convection moves east, it will run
into warmer mid level temperatures, which will squash the convection
as it moves into central KS. The general gist of the forecast will
dry and very warm temperatures.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 231 PM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021

The mid/upper ridge axis is progged to translate slowly eastward
through the end of the week as a mean trough approaches from the
west. This may result in a downward trend in temperatures toward the
weekend and perhaps a subtle increase in pops as a surface trough
axis becomes established across the high plains.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1238 PM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021

VFR conditions are expected during the forecast valid period. A
lee trough will strengthen some this afternoon/evening while
remaining in place through Monday. Southerly gusts of 20-27 knots
are expected this afternoon along/west of I-135, then diminishing
this evening. Marginal low- level wind shear possible late
tonight at RSL, SLN, GBD terminals with a southwesterly low-level
jet. Otherwise, southerly surface winds will increase and become
gusty again around midday Monday.
