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 severe thunderstorm 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Mar 31, 4:00 AM CDT, 1 hour 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 31, 4:00 AM CDT, 1 hour 26 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
400 AM CDT MON MAR 31 2008

.DISCUSSION...

INTERESTING SCENARIO WITH A COUPLE OF SHORT WAVES EMBEDDED IN
TROUGHING OVER THE WEST. ONE WAVE THIS MORNING IN NORTHWEST KANSAS
WILL BE MOVING INTO SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA BY MID MORNING...WHILE A
SECOND WAVE IN NEW MEXICO AT 12Z WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHWEST KANSAS AND
THE TEXAS PANHANDLE BY 18Z. A STRONG UPPER JET IN THE BASE OF THE
TROUGH WILL BE CUTTING ACROSS TEXAS TODAY...BUT AN OFFSHOOT OF THIS
JET WILL BE DEVELOPING WITH ACROSS KANSAS AND INTO EASTERN NEBRASKA
WITH THE FIRST SHORT WAVE. ALREADY SEEING THE EFFECTS OF THESE TWO
WAVES WITH A CLUSTER OF STORMS ACROSS NORTHEAST KANSAS AND A SECOND
CLUSTER ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA.

FOR THIS MORNING...EXPECT STORMS IN KANSAS TO CONTINUE TO TRACK TO
THE NORTHEAST ACROSS NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF FORECAST AREA. THESE
STORMS WILL BE ELEVATED TO THE NORTH OF A SURFACE LOW THAT WILL BE
MOVING TO NEAR TOPEKA BY 12Z. MAIN THREAT FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE
HAIL. MAY ALSO SEE SCATTERED STORMS DEVELOPING IN THE WARM
SECTOR...BUT MAIN SHOW FOR STORMS IN THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE WITH
THE COLD FRONT AS IT SWINGS THROUGH THE REGION MAINLY IN THE
AFTERNOON. ONE INHIBITING FACTOR FOR STORMS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE
THE PERSISTENT CLOUD COVER...SO DESPITE AREA COMING INTO THE WARM
SECTOR OF THE STORM...TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE A BIT. STILL MODELS
ADVERTISE SBCAPES CLIMBING INTO THE 1000 TO 1200 RANGE THIS
AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WITH RAPIDLY WEAKENING CAP.
UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR PROFILES WOULD SUPPORT HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS
WITH BOWING SEGMENTS THAT DEVELOP WITH STORMS ON THE FRONT...WITH
THE TORNADIC THREAT LESS LIKELY THIS FAR NORTH.

SEVERE THREAT WILL END WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE...AND THE COLDER AND
DRIER AIR POURS IN BEHIND THE FRONT TONIGHT. NEXT CHANCE OF STORMS
WILL ARRIVE LATER ON WEDNESDAY AS NEXT IN THE SERIES OF SHORT WAVE
TROUGHS HEADS TO THE REGION MID WEEK.

PC

&&

.AVIATION...
/1239 AM CDT MON MAR 31 2008/
FOR THE 06Z TAFS...WARM FRONT ABOUT 50-75 MILES SOUTH OF THE KC
METRO WILL LIFT VERY SLOWLY NWD THROUGH THE NIGHT...REACHING KCI AT
AROUND 13Z. IFR-VLIFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL WARM FRONTAL PASSAGE
WITH VSBYS POSSIBLY LOWERING TO ONE HALF MILE AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY
AT STJ AND MCI. ISENTROPIC LIFT NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT WILL TRIGGER
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BETWEEN 08Z AND 11Z.

ONCE THE WARM FRONT MOVES THROUGH JUST AFT SUNRISE...CONDITIONS WILL
IMPROVE TO MVFR. A COLD FRONT WILL TRIGGER A LINE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE EARLY TO MID AFTN HOURS WITH A WIND SHIFT TO
THE NW AFT 21Z. MVFR CIGS WILL LINGER BEHIND THE FRONT UNTIL AROUND
03Z.

...SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY MONDAY EVENING...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST...NORTH CENTRAL
AND WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI...AS WELL AS EXTREME EASTERN KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN
KANSAS THIS EVENING...MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF A WARM FRONT THAT
WILL BE STEADILY LIFTING THROUGH THE AREA. DESPITE COOL CONDITIONS
AT THE SURFACE...A WARM...MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS ALOFT AND
INCREASING WIND SHEAR WILL ALLOW SOME OF THESE STORMS TO BECOME
SEVERE OVERNIGHT AS THEY PUSH INTO EXTREME EASTERN KANSAS AND
NORTHWEST MISSOURI. LARGE HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS IS
POSSIBLE...WITH THE GREATEST THREAT NORTHWEST OF A KANSAS CITY TO
TRENTON LINE AFTER 9 PM. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THIS
ACTIVITY WITH AMOUNTS GREATER THAN ONE INCH EXPECTED LOCALLY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ONGOING IN NORTHERN MISSOURI AT THE START OF
THE DAY ON MONDAY...GENERALLY TO THE NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT. HEAVY
RAIN WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT FROM THIS ACTIVITY.

FURTHER SOUTH...A WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS WILL QUICKLY OVERSPREAD THE
AREA AS SOUTHERLY WINDS BECOME QUITE GUSTY. DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT
OF SUNSHINE OBSERVED...THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME QUITE
NUMEROUS ALONG AN ADVANCING COLD FRONT TOMORROW AFTERNOON...WITH THE
THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER INCREASING DURING THE MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON. DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL ARE LIKELY TO ACCOMPANY
MANY OF THESE STORMS. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL CHANCE THAT DISCRETE
SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS COULD DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...
POSING AN ADDITIONAL THREAT FOR TORNADOES. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD
SWEEP EAST OF THE REGION BEFORE 9 PM.

HEAVY RAINFALL EXPECTED WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT OCCUR OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT INTO THE DAY MONDAY. ALSO WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING IS NOT
EXPECTED...PROLONGED OR REPEATED HEAVY RAINFALL COULD QUICKLY
PRODUCE ONE TO TWO INCH RAIN AMOUNTS IN A GIVEN LOCATION...RESULTING
IN LOCALIZED FLOODING.

ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND THURSDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED TONIGHT MAINLY IN NORTHEAST KANSAS
AND NORTHWEST MISSOURI...AND MAY BE NEEDED OVER MUCH OF THE OUTLOOK
AREA DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY..ESPECIALLY AFTER 2 PM. GIVEN THE VERY
STRONG WIND FIELDS ALOFT...THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE
QUICKLY...SO SPOTTERS ARE URGED TO BE PREPARED FOR RAPIDLY CHANGING
WEATHER CONDITIONS.
