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 Topeka, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this heat advisory went out at Jul 25, 11:44 PM CDT, 3 hours 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 25, 11:44 PM CDT, 3 hours 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Topeka KS
1144 PM CDT Sun Jul 25 2021

...Update to aviation forecast discussion...

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 256 PM CDT Sun Jul 25 2021

As of 1930Z Sunday afternoon, west-northwest midlevel flow remains
across the forecast area with a subtle shortwave trough working
through the mid-MO valley region. This shortwave aided in
thunderstorm development this morning along a diffuse surface trough
axis, which currently bisects the area. Widespread thunderstorm
activity and cold-pool mergers ultimately allowed for a southward
advancing outflow boundary to form. At this hour, the outflow
boundary has pushed near the OK state line. Rain-cooled air combined
with predominately overcast skies for much of the day has kept
temperatures in the low 80s along the NE border to the low 90s
along/southeast of I-35. Otherwise, for the remainder of today, any
robust convection should remain along the outflow boundary in
southern KS.

For tonight and Monday, the majority of convection should remain
focused along the residual outflow boundary from southern KS to
southern MO. Otherwise, the heat and humidity will be on the
increase through the week as the midlevel ridge amplifies and
expands across the central Plains. Heat index values will near 100
degrees Monday afternoon, which may turn out to be 'coolest' heat
index values through the work-week. Confidence is moderate for heat
advisory values (~105 degrees) Tuesday afternoon but increases to
high for Wednesday and Thursday. The combination of afternoon
temperatures in the mid-90s to low-100s with dew points remain in
the low to mid-70s will set the stage for heat index values up to
110 Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. The stretch of hot and humid
conditions could persist through Friday and into Saturday, but this
hinges on the southward extent of a weak frontal boundary Friday
afternoon. 12Z solutions are more aggressive with its southward push
and provide some brief-relief from the heat Friday afternoon. Aside
from the heat, mostly dry conditions are probable for the upcoming
week as the midlevel jet remains well-north of the forecast area.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night)
Issued at 1144 PM CDT Sun Jul 25 2021

Cirrus continues to pass overhead under a moist and nearly calm
boundary layer. With dewpoint depressions falling and some sites
reported some visibility reductions, have gone with slightly lower
restrictions. VFR conditions should return by 14Z under good
insolation.
