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 Dec 28, 11:11 PM CST, 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 28, 11:11 PM CST, 33 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
1111 PM CST Sat Dec 28 2019

.Discussion...
Issued at 333 PM CST SAT DEC 28 2019

Scattered light rain showers and drizzle of this morning has given
away to light to moderate rain across eastern Kansas and western
Missouri by early afternoon. Any lightning activity has remained
southwest in Oklahoma so far, but thunderstorms are expected to move
up from the southwest this afternoon and into the evening hours
with some strong to severe storms possible.

This activity is in response to a nearly neutral upper-level trough
that is currently moving through the Rockies today. A potent 500 mb
jet streak and increasing lift ahead of this trough has allowed rain
to overspread the forecast area this afternoon with the potential
for severe storms later this evening. As the surface low deepens
this evening, an already stout 850 mb southerly jet will increase to
45-50 kts from northeast TX up into Missouri. The surface warm front
associated with this system has pushed into Iowa with fairly mild
temperatures in the 50s throughout Missouri. A cold front will sweep
through by early tonight bringing with it the threat for severe
weather. Strong forcing along the edge of the front combined with
strong shear will create pockets of convection that will be capable
of strong wind gusts, and possibly a brief spin-up or two given the
potential for some bowing or QLCS type line segments. Instability is
fairly limited, especially given the rainy and cloudy conditions all
day, so current conditions look to favor more of a high shear/low
CAPE type event. Greatest threat for strong to severe storms will
remain in the warm sector...generally south of Highway 36 where
shear is enhanced and greatest instability will be located. Storms
should be moving fairly quickly and convective activity will rapidly
drop off behind the front.

The upper trough will begin to eject out onto the Plains late
tonight into early Sunday morning. By late tonight the dry slot will
work in bringing an end to the heaviest precipitation as the surface
low lifts off to the north and cold front pushes east into eastern
Missouri the the mid Mississippi River Valley. Sunday will be much
cooler and northern Missouri may see some wrap around precipitation
as the upper low meanders across the Northern Plains and towards the
Lower Great Lakes.

The remainder of the extended forecast will remain fairly mild and
dry.

.Aviation...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday Night)
Issued at 1106 PM CST SAT DEC 28 2019

Rain will shift east of terminals by the start of the forecast
period. IFR ceilings are expected for much of the night into the
late morning hours, with some improvement to MVFR by midday. Some
potential for snow flurries Sunday evening, but not expected to
result in any impacts or accumulation.
