What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jul 30, 3:46 PM CDT, 1 hour 13 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 30, 3:46 PM CDT, 1 hour 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
346 PM CDT Mon Jul 30 2018

.Discussion...
Issued at 329 PM CDT MON JUL 30 2018

Mid/upper level pattern characterized by a trough over the
northern midwest and a strong ridge over the western half of the
CONUS. A shortwave trough will carve into the mid level flow and
dig through the forecast area through the remainder of the day.
This may set off a round of widely scattered showers and
thunderstorms across northern Missouri through the evening and
into the night. This trough should be aided by diabatic heating,
which should erode low level inhibition. Near NIL deep layer shear
will prevent any organized storm structures or widespread severe
weather, but decently large T/TD spreads in the low levels may
lend to isolated and localized downburst activity leading to some
gusty winds. Even in those cases, winds should be sub-severe with
any of this activity. By sunset with the loss of diurnal support
expect thunderstorm activity to cease.

By the middle part of the week the trough will depart the area,
and the ridge to the west will slowly expand eastward, which will
put most of the area under an unfavorable pattern for
precipitation. As the ridge builds through the week, expect a
gradual warming trend, which will culminate late week with
temperatures returning into the upper 80s to lower 90s. With dew
points settling in the middle to upper 60s expect little departure
between actual temperatures and heat indices through the middle to
late part of the week.

Issued at 1242 PM CDT MON JUL 30 2018

Widely scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms will be
possible later today. Confidence in terminals being impacted by
these showers is low at this time, so went with VCTS to mention
the potential impact. Otherwise expect periods of BKN/SCT low/mid
level clouds, but no sub-VFR conditions are anticipated.
