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 Aug 5, 6:18 PM CDT, 3 hours 3 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 5, 6:18 PM CDT, 3 hours 3 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
618 PM CDT Sat Aug 5 2017

.Discussion...
Issued at 313 PM CDT SAT AUG 5 2017

Potential dangerous flash flooding will be the main threat in the
next 24 hours as synoptic conditions are setting the area up
potential training thunderstorms along an elevated warm frontal
boundary over our CWA. The Flash Flood Watch will remain in effect
through 7AM tomorrow as this entire area will have the potential to
have flash flooding depending on where the main line of training
thunderstorms sets up overnight.

The LLJ this morning developed a NW-SE oriented line of convection
with moderate stratiform rain as it pushed through providing a nice
soaking rain of around 0.5" for most of the area south of the
Missouri River.  This event will be the primer for the next more
significant heavy rain event this evening as soils will be somewhat
saturated over the area.  Currently the LLJ has a south to north
orientation over eastern KS helping to develop some elevated storms
along a WNW-ESE oriented 850mb boundary near Topeka.  NWP models
have sort of been all over the place with the forecasted QPF totals
in amount and location making it difficult to nail down the final
QPF maximum locations though Sunday morning. Looking at VWP data it
does appear that the RAP, NAM, and NAMnest have all been the most
constant solutions with the RAP matching up with the wind profiles
at 850mp the best.  With this said, these three models as well as
the HRRR have indicated the LLJ will ramp up over eastern Kansas
around 7pm CDT creating a strong convergent boundary right over the
KC Metro area and reorienting the 850mb boundary more W-E.  This
reorientation is crucial as it places the boundary parallel to the
storm motion which increases the likelihood of training convection
along the northwest of this boundary. PWAT values between 1.8 and 2"
with MUCAPE values between 1000-1500J/kg and plenty of forcing set
up a potentially dangerous situations.  This boundary appears to
stay somewhat stationary over the Missouri River area until just
after midnight when it slowly starts to advect to the SSE as the LLJ
shifts more SW-NE oriented.  Currently we are forecasting widespread
4" of precipitation over the area south of St. Joseph with pockets
of 5-6" along the training boundary. There could even be localized
areas that see above that if multiple strong storms move over the
same area for a period of time.  Outside of the flooding threat
there is also a chance of seeing some elevated supercells with low
Cape but high effective bulk shear after 7pm.  The threat is
somewhat low for winds or tornadoes with these storms being elevated
above the boundary layer, but large hail could be possible with
somewhat lower freezing levels around 12kft.  The main threat for
severe weather would be along the convergent boundary with the
strongest forcing. Another issue that leads to the flash flood
potential is that the rain storm two weeks ago helped to decrease
our flash flood guidance with most of the area below the Missouri
River only needing 2-3" in 1, 3, or 6 hours to reach the flash flood
criteria.  Expect warnings to be issued rather quickly if this
scenario does set up as expected and water could rise fast with
soils already saturated. Traveling through these heavy rain areas
after dark is not recommended as water may be difficult to see on
the roads as it rises overnight. Temperatures may not even make it
into the 70s today with continual cloud coverage and precipitation
inhibiting any type of heating.

The surface low driving this event will slowly move to the east
Sunday morning helping to drive this precip to the SE and out of the
area by Sunday afternoon as ridging and NE flow push back into the
area. This high pressure will dominate the area through Wednesday
with unseasonably low temperatures below 80 degrees through Tuesday.
A weak shortwave pushes through Wednesday creating some chances of
precipitation over the area but overall most should stay dry.
Temperatures stay cool in the lower 80s through Thursday with mostly
nice conditions expected for August.

The next real chance for rain will occur Friday as a strong upper
level shortwave pushes into the area from the central plains
creating another rainy day Friday, although it looks much less of a
flooding event than tonight.  Ridging pushes back in quickly
Saturday making for a decent weekend with mostly dry conditions and
high temperatures in the lower to mid 80s.

.Aviation...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday Evening)
Issued at 618 PM CDT SAT AUG 5 2017

Multiple hazards will affect air traffic throughout most of the
terminals. The first hazard will be persistent thunderstorms that
will continue to develop over the region through the first 6 hours
of the forecast period. Visibility may be decreased in heavy rain
at times to at IFR or below temporarily. These storms will start
to move to the SE away from the terminals in the morning, but will
be a problem off and on throughout that timeframe.

The second hazard will be a low IFR ceiling around 1000ft that
looks to persist for most of the forecast period. There may be
times that it lifts above IFR with TS are around the station but
overall trend will be IFR conditions until Sunday afternoon. If
this changes the forecasts will adjust as needed.
