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 Jun 29, 11:59 PM CDT, 2 hours 49 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 29, 11:59 PM CDT, 2 hours 49 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
1159 PM CDT Thu Jun 29 2017

.Discussion...
Issued at 336 PM CDT THU JUN 29 2017

The MCS that pushes through this morning threw a wrench in the
forecast for the day by providing a large area of relatively stable
cooler air over the region.  The main impact of this occurring is
that the focus for convective development has shifted south from the
MO/IA border to down near the Missouri River. The focal point for
this development is going to be an elevated warm frontal boundary
around that is currently setting up right along the I-70 corridor. d
the 850mb level. An initial round of convection already sparked on
the elevated boundary around 700mb dropping nickel to quarter sized
hail and added some more precipitation to the metro area. This
synoptic setup looks to break the area into two different threats
for the CWA with the first one being flash flooding near the KC
Metro area and the second being severe weather near the KC Metro and
south into the warmer stable air near the surface warm frontal
boundary. For the hydro and flooding concern the main contributing
factors will be high PWAT values of 1.8 to 2.0", storm motion mostly
parallel to the warm frontal boundary, and the quasi-stationary
nature of this boundary for 6-9 hours this evening.  There will be
enough instability and shear for sustained convection with MUCAPE
values near 2500J/kg and 0-6km shear values near 30kts.  The added 1-
2" of rain through the metro this morning has dropped the flash
flood guidance for 1hr down to near 1.5" which will not be hard to
meet with a single thunderstorm so multiple storms would definitely
create potential issues through the KC Metro area.  For the severe
potential there is just enough shear to form up marginal supercells
or multicellular storm modes. Low level shear values are going to be
in the range for possible tornado development for the southern KC
Metro area closer to the surface boundary where more of a S-SE
surface wind exist.  Large hail is definitely a possibility with
damaging winds also possible from downdrafts, but a higher wind
chance as this becomes linear and shifts south.  An incoming
shortwave will finally help to push the low pressure over the
midwest to the east shifting the boundary that has been over the
area the last few days to the south.

This boundary is expected to shift south with weak high pressure
building into the region Friday through Sunday making for a fairly
nice weekend with dry conditions and temperatures in the mid to
upper 80s.  A shortwave will enter the Rockies Sunday night
developing a surface low over western Kansas which will lift this
boundary back up into the region as a warm frontal boundary.  This
will trigger a wet pattern as the shortwave stalls over the midwest.
PoPs remain relatively high from Monday through Thursday morning
unfortunately making the 4th of July a potential washout and even
adding the threat for flooding on a holiday weekend.
