The radar
The Pleasant Hill radar (KEAX), 40 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:26 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 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 May 22, 2:40 PM CDT, 1 hour 44 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 22, 2:40 PM CDT, 1 hour 44 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 240 PM CDT SUN MAY 22 2011 .DISCUSSION... PLEASE REFER TO PREVIOUS MESOSCALE DISCUSSION FOR PARTICULARS ON CURRENT CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION. PREFER A TIME/LOCATION ADJUSTED BLEND OF RECENT 14Z-16Z 3KM HRRR AND 12Z 4KM WRF-ARW...WHICH CLEARS TSTM ELEMENTS OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. SIGNIFICANT DRYING AND DOWNGLIDE SHOULD OVERTAKE THE ENTIRE CWA BY LATE EVENING...AND HAVE ELIMINATED ALL POP MENTION AFTER MIDNIGHT. SHORTWAVE RIDGING WILL CROSS THE LOWER MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY MONDAY MORNING...BEFORE AN ADDITIONAL LOW AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVE EJECTS INTO THE SRN PLAINS DURING THE AFTERNOON. CONVECTIVE INITIATION SHOULD BE MORE REMOVED FROM THE FORECAST AREA INTO SOUTH CNTRL KANSAS...HOWEVER AS THE LLJ INCREASES DURING THE EVENING HOURS IN COINCIDENCE WITH A MORE FAVORABLY DEVELOPING DIFFLUENCE AND COUPLED JET ALOFT...TSTMS SHOULD SPREAD NORTHEAST INTO EAST CNTRL KANSAS AND CNTRL MISSOURI. IN ALL LIKELIHOOD...FAR NRN MISSOURI MAY REMAIN COMPLETELY DRY THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...BEFORE THE MAIN BULK OF MIDLEVEL ENERGY BEGINS TO EJECT EAST TUESDAY AFTERNOON. POTENTIALLY ANOTHER EPISODE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITHIN THE REGION LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...LARGELY DEPENDENT PRECEDING ON MESOSCALE FEATURES AND INFLUENCES. PER 12Z MODEL OUTPUT...ERN KANSAS APPEARS TO LIE WITHIN A VERY FAVORABLE REGION AHEAD OF THE EJECTING WAVE AND TOWARDS THE HIGHLY DIFFLUENT LEFT FRONT JET REGION. ASSUMING THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH TOWARDS THE KANSAS/MISSOURI RIVER CORRIDOR (NOT A CERTAINTY AS LOW LEVEL ELY FLOW MAY RETARD THIS NWD PROGRESSION)...A HIGHLY UNSTABLE AND FAVORABLY SHEARED AIRMASS WILL ADVECT OVER THE FAR WRN PARTS OF THE CWA BY THE LATE AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE CONCEPTUALLY CLASSIC SETUP...WILL NEED TO WATCH THIS TIME FRAME CLOSELY. MAIN COLD CORE ALOFT WILL PROPAGATE DIRECTLY OVER THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY MORNING...BRINGING VERY GOOD CHANCES FOR WIDESPREAD CONVECTION. SFC BASED ATMOSPHERIC INSTABILITY MAY BE WORKED OVER BY THIS TIME...WITH MOST INDICATIONS POINTING TOWARDS A HYDROLOGIC THREAT. VERY POOR MODEL CONTINUITY BEYOND THURSDAY...WITH SOME MEASURE OF RIDGING ENTERING THE CNTRL CONUS. HAVE KEPT THE FORECAST PRIMARILY DRY INTO NEXT WEEKEND...WITH TEMPERATURES NOT FAR FROM CLIMATOLOGY. 21 && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... ...MESOSCALE DISCUSSION... SLIGHTLY MORE UNCERTAINTY REGARDING CONVECTIVE INITIATION... PLACEMENT...AND TIMING AS OPPOSED TO YESTERDAY...WITH VARIOUS OPERATIONAL AND HIGH RESOLUTION DIRECT CONVECTIVE MODELS NOT DEPICTING A PARTICULARLY CONSISTENT PICTURE. IN GENERAL...FAVOR SOME BLEND OF RECENT 3KM HRRR RUNS ALONG WITH 00Z 4 KM NSSL WRF-ARW...AWAITING OUTPUT FROM THE 12Z 4 KM WRF-NMM. IN THE LOW LEVELS...SEVERAL BOUNDARIES ARE DISCERNIBLE ON VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY 1) A SHALLOW GRAVITY WAVE MOVING SOUTHEAST PAST A MOBERLY-CHANUTE LINE AND 2) A PACIFIC FRONT/PSEUDO DRYLINE ASSOCIATED WITH A DEEPER SFC-H8 BOUNDARY AND VEERED WIND PROFILE FROM NEAR LAMONI-TOPEKA. BETTER DEEP CU DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN NOTED RECENTLY ALONG THE LATTER BOUNDARY DUE TO NOTABLE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND WEAKER ELEVATED INHIBITION. UNLIKE YESTERDAY...IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY ANY DEFINED SHORTWAVE IN SATELLITE IMAGERY WHICH WOULD HELP FOCUS CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT...AND UPSTREAM MIDLEVEL TEMPERATURES IN THE H5 LAYER ARE ACTUALLY WARMER (ALTHOUGH WEAK CAA CAN BE NOTED IN THE CAPPING H8-H7 LAYER). HOWEVER...GIVEN THE IMPRESSIVE CLASSIC PLAINS SEVERE WEATHER 12Z KTOP SOUNDING...ALONG WITH BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE CONVERGENCE STRONGER...AND THE WARM SECTOR CHARACTERIZED BY MLCAPES AOA 3000 J/KG ALREADY AT 16Z IN A WEAKLY CAPPED ENVIRONMENT...FEEL DEEPER (AND POSSIBLY EXPLOSIVE) CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WILL BREACH THE INHIBITION EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ALONG THE SFC-H8 BOUNDARY (MOST LIKELY IN THE VICINITY OF A KMKC-KCDJ-KOTM LINE). BULK 0-6KM SHEAR VALUES IN EXCESS OF 40KT WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELL TYPE STRUCTURES...WITH IMPRESSIVE 0-1KM SHEAR NEAR 30 KT SUPPORTING STRONG INFLOW AND LOW LEVEL MESOCYCLOGENESIS (0-1KM AND 0-3KM SRH BOTH APPROACHING 300 M2/S2 IN FAR NERN MISSOURI). GIVEN VEERED BOUNDARY LAYER WIND PROFILES AND ALIGNMENT OF EXPECTED CONVECTIVE CELLS...SOME DESTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE CAN BE EXPECTED...AS WELL AS DCAPE VALUES WELL IN EXCESS OF 1000 J/KG PROMOTING MORE DOWNDRAFT PRODUCTION. NEVERTHELESS...THERE APPEARS TO BE A SMALL WINDOW FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES UPON INITIAL CONVECTIVE MATURITY TOWARDS THE ERN REACHES OF THE FORECAST AREA. ALL TOLD...GREATEST THREAT STILL APPEARS TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR GIANT HAIL PRODUCTION WITH ANY STORM THAT FORMS TODAY. MIDLEVEL H7-H5 LAPSE RATES PER 12Z SOUNDINGS AND OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS REMAIN VERY IMPRESSIVE (AOA 8 C/KM)...AND ALTHOUGH THIS MEASURE MAY DECREASE SLIGHTLY TODAY (COMBINATION OF SLIGHT COOLING AT H7 AND WARMING AT H5)...TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF CAPE IN THE -10C TO -30C HAIL GROWTH REGION ARE ALREADY EVIDENT (AT LEAST 700 J/KG AT 16Z). SHEAR PARAMETERS WITHIN STORMS WILL PROMOTE ROTATING UPDRAFTS WITH AVAILABLE ENERGY LIKELY EXCEEDING 3500-4000 J/KG BY PEAK HEATING...SUPPORTING HAIL AT LEAST THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS (IF NOT MUCH BIGGER). EVENTUALLY...STORMS MAY CONGEAL INTO MINI-BOWS AND BROKEN LINES...PUSHING INTO ERN/SRN MISSOURI THIS EVENING. 21 && .AVIATION... CONVERGENCE AXIS AND PRIMARY TSTM INITIATION LINE WILL ALIGN JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE KMKC TERMINAL FOR THE 18Z TAF ISSUANCE...RAPIDLY MOVING AWAY FROM TERMINAL CORRIDOR BY MID AFTERNOON. HAVE INCLUDED VCTS MENTION FOR KANSAS CITY SITES THROUGH 20Z...EXPECTING ONLY IMPACT FOR EWD ARRIVALS/DEPARTURES. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH GUSTY SWLY WINDS RELAXING AFTER SUNSET...THEN BRIEFLY VEERING TO A NWLY DIRECTION AROUND SUNRISE MONDAY. 21 && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

LOCATIONS EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 35 CORRIDOR WILL BE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO EXPERIENCE SEVERE WEATHER...WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...AND ESPECIALLY VERY LARGE HAIL LIKELY. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...MAINLY FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE MISSOURI RIVER. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS...WITH LARGE HAIL THE PRIMARY THREAT. ANOTHER WEATHER SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND INTO THE PLAINS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...BRINGING ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION. THERE IS A THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN PARTS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA. WHILE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS...AN ISOLATED TORNADO MAY ALSO BE POSSIBLE. ON WEDNESDAY...THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WILL BE MUSH LOWER. ALTHOUGH PRECIPITATION EVENTS WILL BE SCATTERED AND NOT CONTINUOUS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...ESPECIALLY IN THUNDERSTORMS...WILL LIKELY DEVELOP. TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK MAY EXCEED SEVERAL INCHES IN SOME LOCATIONS ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA. THIS WILL INCREASE THE THREAT FOR LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING...AND WILL LIKELY PUSH SOME STREAMS AND RIVERS INTO FLOOD THROUGH THIS WEEKEND AND INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 35 CORRIDOR.
