$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river 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 river flood warning went out at Apr 13, 6:26 AM CDT, 3 hours 27 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 6:26 AM CDT, 3 hours 27 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 626 AM CDT Mon Apr 13 2015 .DISCUSSION... Issued at 328 AM CDT MON APR 13 2015 High pressure will be quick to build in behind this morning's thunderstorm complex with quick clearing of rain and low clouds from north to south, although there could be a rather thick shield of cirrus coming off a closed upper low over the TX high plains. Temperatures will be close to average for mid-April in the mid to upper 60s. Similarly pleasant conditions expected Tuesday. Upper low to the south will gradually phase with a much deeper trough digging into the Rockies by Wednesday. As this occurs there could be enough moisture spreading up this way to produce a few showers across the area Tuesday night and Wednesday. Moisture will be rather limited in the wake of high pressure from earlier this week, so anything that develops during this period should be scattered and light. Deep upper trough to the west will eventually become closed off over the Southern Rockies by the end of the week. Several impulses emanating out of this feature into the Plains could provide a few showers or thunderstorms at any time during the Thursday through Saturday period, before this feature gradually makes its way into the region in a much weakened state by Sunday or Monday. Any showers or storms that do develop through this period are unlikely to be very strong with both instability and shear looking to be on the low side. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday Morning) Issued at 626 AM CDT MON APR 13 2015 Rain will exit the DMO area over the next 2 hours leaving the entire area clear of precipitation for the next 36 hours. N to NNE winds could gust to 20 kt or so this afternoon. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. MO...NONE. && DISCUSSION...Hawblitzel AVIATION...Hawblitzel
