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 Jun 11, 2:35 PM CDT, 3 hours 37 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 2:35 PM CDT, 3 hours 37 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 235 PM CDT Thu Jun 11 2015 .DISCUSSION... Issued at 203 PM CDT THU JUN 11 2015 An active afternoon and evening is starting to shape up for strong to severe thunderstorms that should affect most of the area. At this time we have a tornado watch out until 02z where supercells are expected to develop ahead of a surface low and along a warm front across our far northwestern counties. Shear and instability parameters favor very large hail and a possible tornado or two. The surface low should track across southern IA this evening with an attended cold front moving into the CWA from the northwest. Additional storms are anticipated to develop along the cold front and those too are expected to be strong to severe. Would not be surprised to see a severe watch issued to handle those storms. Latest NPW, especially the HRRR, bring the line of storms into the KC Metro area between 6 to 9 pm. Large hail, strong wind gusts, and locally heavy rain will be the concerns with the line. Also, we have many of our northern counties under a flash flood watch through 12z tomorrow given the saturated soils and the expected convection. Lastly a portion of a MCS may work in from the southwest very late tonight along and north of the cold front. At this time, if the MCS develops, our southeast counties would get brushed by it. The rest of the forecast period will remain unsettled and on the wet side of things as multiple disturbances track across the region. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday Afternoon) Issued at 1236 PM CDT THU JUN 11 2015 In the near term, clearing skies will develop along with increasing southwest winds ahead of an approaching cold front. Later this afternoon thunderstorms are expected to develop along the front and move through the terminals beginning early this evening. Current thinking is there may be several rounds or clusters of storms that will persist well into the overnight hours. Behind the cold front and storms, northwesterly winds and a FEW-SCT cloud deck will persist through the remaining period. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
