The radar
The Pleasant Hill radar (KEAX), 130 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:02 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Topeka, KS (KTOP), launched 12:00Z, 10.0 hours before the alert went out and 236 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

SEAMANWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Kansas City, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at May 11, 2:49 PM CDT, 2 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 11, 2:49 PM CDT, 2 hours 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 249 PM CDT WED MAY 11 2005 .DISCUSSION... EFFECTIVE SURFACE BOUNDARY HAS BEGUN TO LIGHT UP FROM MANHATTAN KANSAS EAST THROUGH WESTERN AND CENTRAL MISSOURI. SURFACE BASED CAPE AROUND 3500 J/KG AND 0-6 KM SHEAR VALUES >30KTS ALL REINFORCE THE OBVIOUS...THAT SUPERCELLS WILL BE ONGOING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. BEST LOCATION FOR SEVERE WEATHER LOOKS TO BE BETWEEN INTERSTATE 70 AND MISSOURI HIGHWAY 36. LARGE HAIL (TO SOFTBALL IN SIZE) HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED WITH THESE STORMS...AND WITH SHEAR VALUES LOCALLY ENHANCED IN THE VICINITY OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY...TORNADOS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. THIS CONVECTION LOOKS LIKE IT WILL CONTINUE ON THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI. SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70 WARM SOUTHWEST WINDS SEEM TO HAVE PUT A STRONG CAP IN PLACE...AS EVIDENT BY THE LACK LUSTER VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CUMULUS FIELD. AS WE MOVE INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS...EXPECTATIONS ARE THAT THE BOUNDARY WILL MOVE NORTH. GOOD SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH TOMORROW...AND SHOULD PUSH THAT BOUNDARY NORTH OVERNIGHT. THE VORT MAX...CURRENTLY LIFTING FROM EASTERN KANSAS THROUGH NORTHWEST MISSOURI...WILL HAVE MOVED OFF THE BOUNDARY BY THIS EVENING. NEXT CLOSEST SHORTWAVE WILL BE MOVING NORTHEAST THROUGH CENTRAL NEBRASKA...AND SHOULD FOCUS MOST OF THE SEVERE CONVECTION IN NEBRASKA AND IOWA. HOWEVER...WITH THE NUMEROUS BOUNDARIES LEFT OVER FROM TODAYS CONVECTION...THERE COULD BE SEVERE WEATHER WITH ANY OF THE STORMS ALONG AND NORTH OF MISSOURI HIGHWAY 50. CUTTER && .PREV DISCUSSION... 1102 AM... UPDATE TO THE FORECAST THIS MORNING FOR THE CONVECTION THAT HAS LINGERED ABOUT NORTHERN MISSOURI AND POPPED UP OVER EASTERN KANSAS. SURFACE BOUNDARY FROM THE OVERNIGHT CONVECTION HAS PUSHED AS FAR SOUTH AS A LINE FROM LEAVENWORTH TO CARROLLTON AND MOBERLY. THOUGHTS ARE THAT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET BEGINS TO REFOCUS ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN KANSAS THAT THE CONVECTION ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI SHOULD COME TO AN END. HOWEVER...THE CONVECTION ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS MAY CONTINUE TO PERCOLATE AS A VORT MAX...CURRENTLY MOVING NORTHEAST THROUGH CENTRAL KANSAS...MOVES INTO NORTHEAST KANSAS. 12Z TOPEKA SOUNDING HAD A NICE CAP ON IT...BUT THE SURFACE BOUNDARY AND VORT MAX MIGHT PROVIDE ENOUGH SURFACE CONVERGENCE AND CAP EROSION TO ALLOW A CHANCE OF STORMS TO PERSIST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THEREFORE...I HAVE BROUGHT A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AS FAR SOUTH AS THE MISSOURI RIVER. POINTS SOUTH OF THE RIVER SHOULD STAY STORM FREE UNTIL MAYBE THIS NIGHT WHEN THE LOW LEVEL JET MOVES INTO THE VICINITY. CUTTER && .PREV DISCUSSION... 710 AM... FIRST OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HAS APPEARS TO BE WASHING OUT NEAR THE MO RIVER. A SECOND OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HAS SURGED SOUTH INTO NORTHEAST KS AND INTO THE STJ AREA WITH ELEVATED CONVECTION FORMING ALONG IT. WILL NEED TO ADJUST THUNDER CHANCES A BIT FURTHER SOUTH TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. HAVE SOME NEW CONCERNS THAT THIS SECOND BOUNDARY WILL REINFORCE THE COOLER AIRMASS ACROSS NORTHERN MO SO HAVE LOWERED MAX TEMPERATURES BY A CATEGORY ACROSS THE NORTHERN 1/3 OF CWA. ALSO NOTICED THE STRATOCU WHICH HAS FOLLOWED THE COOLER AIR SOUTH. 06Z NAM SHOVED THE SECOND OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTO SOUTHERN MO BY LATE AFTERNOON AND CARRIED CONVECTION SOUTHWARD AS WELL. IF THIS DOES OCCUR THEN FORECAST WILL NEED TO BE SCRUBBED WITH TEMPERATURES LOWERED DRASTICALLY. MJ 350 AM... MAIN UPPER FEATURES OF LARGE CLOSED UPPER SYSTEM OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN REGION HANDLED FAIRLY WELL BY ETA/NAM/CANADIAN MODELS. THE UPPER LOW IS PROGGED TO GRADUALLY LIFT NORTHEAST INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND MERGE WITH NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE WHICH IS PROGGED TO DROP SOUTHEAST INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS ON FRIDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN A MORE POSITIVE TILTED UPPER TROUGH...AND SLOWER FRONTAL MOVEMENT ON FRIDAY. OTHERWISE...MAIN MODEL PROBLEMS ARE THE NUMEROUS CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK ISSUES NOTED IN THE GFS. IN THE SHORT TERM PRIMARY PROBLEM IS HOW FAR SOUTH WILL OUTFLOW BOUNDARY GENERATED BY LARGE MCS OVER IA GET. WEST SIDE OF COLD POOL HAS SLOWED ITS SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION WITH MAIN PUSH ACROSS SOUTHERN IA. VEERING 850MB WINDS HAS RESULTED IN CONTINUED ELEVATED CONVECTION NORTH OF THIS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. THINK NAM TOO FAR SOUTH WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARY BY 18Z TODAY. THINK BETTER BET IS FOR OUTFLOW TO REACH A LINE FROM BETWEEN STJ AND MCI TO AROUND MOBERLY THIS MORNING...THEN GRADUALLY WASH OUT THIS AFTERNOON. WILL GO WITH A NARROW BAND OF LIKELY POPS ACROSS NORTHERN MO FOR THIS MORNING. HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY SOUTH OF WARM FRONT SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO TUESDAYS. ALONG AND NORTH OF PRIMARY WARM FRONT TEMPERATURES WILL BE A CHALLENGE. AIRMASS SOUTH OF WARM FRONT EXPECTED TO BECOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE WITH MINIMAL CAP THIS AFTERNOON. WILL NEED TO WATCH REMNANTS OF TX/OK PANHANDLE CONVECTION AS MVC ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE COULD AID WITH RENEWED CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON ALONG WEST-EAST FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THROUGH THURSDAY BEST BET FOR CONVECTION WILL BE ACROSS NORTHERN MO AND EAST CENTRAL KS WHERE FRONTAL BOUNDARY RESIDES. THURSDAY SHOULD SEE MORE CLOUDINESS WHICH WILL HOLD BACK TEMPERATURES SOUTH OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY. WILL GO WITH LIKELY POPS ACROSS NORTHERN AND WEST CENTRAL MO FOR THURSDAY NIGHT. CONVECTION WILL BE SLOW TO ADVANCE EASTWARD DUE TO THE POSITIVELY TILTED UPPER TROUGH. HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ACROSS NORTHERN AND WEST CENTRAL MO TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY COULD RESULT IN REPEAT STORMINESS AND THUS HEAVY RAINFALL. THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY COULD ALSO SEE SOME TRAINING OF STORMS ACROSS MUCH OF CWA AS UPPER FLOW WILL BE NEARLY PARALLEL TO EASTWARD MOVING COLD FRONT AND THUS CELLS WILL HAVE MINIMAL EASTWARD MOVEMENT. MJ && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE.

WITH HIGH INSTABILITY AND GOOD SHEAR ALONG THE BOUNDARY...THE STORMS THAT ARE ACTIVATING HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE. AREAS AT HIGHEST RISK OF SEEING SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM LEAVENWORTH EAST THROUGH CARROLLTON AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM MOUND CITY MISSOURI TO TRENTON...WITH LARGE HAIL AND THE POSSIBILITY OF TORNADOS BEING THE PRIMARY THREATS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING WILL ACCOMPANY ALL OF THESE STORMS. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS ACROSS NORTHEAST KANSAS AND NORTHERN MISSOURI...MAINLY NORTH OF A ST JOSEPH TO MACON LINE. SOME OF THESE STORMS MAYBE SEVERE WITH THE PRIMARY THREATS BEING FROM LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY THE SAME WEATHER SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR WEDNESDAYS WEATHER WILL LINGER IN THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST ON THURSDAY. THIS FEATURE WILL BE SLOW MOVING. INITIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS EXTREME EAST CENTRAL KANSAS AND NORTHWEST MISSOURI LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DUE TO THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT AND INDIVIDUAL STORMS REPEATEDLY MOVING OVER THE SAME AREA...VERY HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE. THE COLD FRONT WILL LINGER OVER THE REGION ON FRIDAY AND A REPEAT OF SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINS IS POSSIBLE. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... STORM SPOTTERS ARE NEEDED NORTH INTERSTATE 70 FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING STORM SPOTTERS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED OVER NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI AND EAST CENTRAL KANSAS...AND ON FRIDAY SPOTTERS MAY BE NEEDED OVER MOST OF THE REGION.
