$$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 Mar 19, 6:52 AM CDT, 58 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 19, 6:52 AM CDT, 58 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 652 AM CDT Thu Mar 19 2020 .Discussion... Issued at 355 AM CDT THU MAR 19 2020 As of this morning, a cluster of showers and storms was moving through portions of SE KS/SW MO. A surface warm front was bisecting the southern portion of the forecast area. This cluster is expected to continue its journey northeastward through the sunrise hour, but its respective severe weather threat is somewhat limited. While ~1000 J/Kg will support modest thunderstorms and small hail, the near surface cool inversion should help limit downward momentum in thunderstorm downdrafts, especially north of the warm front. Increasing ascent may also lead to additional convection developing outside/ahead of this cluster in the next 1-3 hours. With time, additional storms upstream are expected, and these too will move towards/through the CWA during the remainder of the morning hours. This activity, especially any thunderstorms towards the rear of the eventual new cluster exiting, will have better access to increasing instability; therefore a marginal risk of severe weather is expected, with nickel-sized hail and brief wind gusts to 55 mph. Much of the forecast area is expected to be rain-free by late morning/midday as subsidence in the wake of the morning activity/shortwave trough, with a strong mid-level dry slot cutting into the region. This along with boundary layer mixing should allow for skies to at least become partially sunny by early afternoon over the western half of the CWA. With the warm front accelerating north in response to the approaching primary wave, an unstable atmosphere is probable to materialize by mid-afternoon across much of the CWA ahead of a swiftly-moving dryline. Ample effective shear and instability are expected to support severe weather, including supercellular storms. The biggest uncertainty remains to convective coverage. In areas of northwest/northern Missouri (along/north Highway 36) and points northward into SE NE and Iowa, confidence is higher that at least widely scattered thunderstorms, including supercells, will develop by mid-afternoon. This area will reside in the left exit region of a 130kt jet streak, with strong vorticity advection with the approaching wave. The most robust storms that develop in this area will likely become supercells. Low-level flow will be slightly veered ahead of the dryline, albeit this region will have the greatest chance for some augmentation of better low-level cyclonic curvature, leading to some tornado potential, along with the threat of hail to golf- ball size. Areas south of Highway 36, while some CAMs hint at development within the warm sector along the dryline, tend to gravitate to the belief that shallow convection will indeed develop, but struggle with the placement of the aforementioned jet streak with mid/upper convergence. Therefore wouldn't be surprised to see a string of shallow convective updrafts, but there remains high uncertainty whether these will take full advantage of a healthy warm sector. If robust storms do indeed develop, the environment would also support a supercellular storm mode. Expect a breezy day with southerly winds gusting to 30-35 mph during the afternoon. With the sun expected to make an appearance, afternoon temperatures will soar into the middle 70s, with dewpoints in the upper 50s to lower 60s. This warmth will be short-lived as a strong cold front moves through during the overnight hours, with temperatures crashing by sunrise Friday. In fact, the next three mornings (Fri, Sat, Sun) will likely have temperatures at or well below freezing in most areas. Quiet weather will finally make a return Friday and Saturday, with two upper waves next week likely to bring precipitation chances both Sunday and again Tuesday/Wednesday. && .Aviation...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday Morning) Issued at 648 AM CDT THU MAR 19 2020 A mixture of IFR/MVFR/VFR conditions exist this morning. Expect several rounds of precipitation through mid/late morning before rain shifts to the east of terminal space and VFR conditions return. Another chance for isolated thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon, with the high probabilities near STJ. Gusty southerly winds are expected, with a wind shift overnight. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. MO...NONE. && Discussion...Blair Aviation...Blair

Strong winds up to 55 mph and hail up to quarter-sized are possible with this first round. We will then have a break from storms for a few hours around midday. Isolated to scattered storms are then expected during the afternoon and evening. The greatest chance for severe weather with this round is going to be along and north of HWY 36. Hail up to golf ball sized, damaging winds up to 65 mph, and a tornado or two are possible. South of HWY 36, it'll be harder for storms to get going. If a healthy storm can develop, then hail up to quarter sized, damaging winds up to 60 mph, and a brief tornado are possible. Minor flooding is also a concern today, especially this morning. Storms move out tonight. More detailed information can be accessed at... https://www.weather.gov/eax/hwo .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday Cold weather returns tonight, bringing subfreezing temperatures Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings.
