The episode as NWS EAX wrote it up.
Heavy rains on June 2, 2010, caused several reports of flash flooding.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jun 2, 2:57 AM CST, 2 hours 3 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 357 AM CDT WED JUN 2 2010 .DISCUSSION... ONGOING CONVECTION IS OCCURRING AS THE LLJ CONTINUES TO INCREASE AND VEER OVERTOP THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LEFT OVER FROM EVENING CONVECTION. TRUE FRONT IS CURRENTLY POISED JUST NORTHWEST OF THE FORECAST AREA AND PRESSURE RISE AND FALL COUPLET INDICATING THIS FRONT SHOULD CONTINUE TO PROGRESS INTO NORTHWEST MISSOURI AND NORTHEAST KANSAS THIS MORNING. BIG QUESTION IS HOW FAR INTO THE FORECAST AREA WILL THIS BOUNDARY MAKE IT BY MIDDAY...WITH THE 06Z NAM NOW SUGGESTING IT WILL BE SITTING FROM NORTHERN KANSAS CITY TO JUST SOUTH OF KIRKSVILLE WITH THE SURFACE LOW SITTING NEAR WICHITA. THUS...CURRENT THINKING IS THAT ONGOING CONVECTION WILL BE DIMINISHING THIS MORNING AS THIS SURFACE FRONT MOVES IN AND THE LLJ WEAKENS AND VEERS EVEN MORE. THEN BY EARLY AFTERNOON...WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF A CAP...SHOULD SEE MORE STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG THE SURFACE FRONT...AND POSSIBLY THE REMNANTS OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. HAVE ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS JUST WHERE THESE BOUNDARIES WILL BE TO PRECLUDE GOING TOO HIGH WITH THE POPS SO WILL JUST GO WITH HIGH END CHANCE POPS AT THIS POINT. BY 00Z...MODELS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH HAVING THE SURFACE FRONT SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH THE MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE MOVING EAST ACROSS NEBRASKA AND KANSAS. THE SOLUTION OF WHERE THE POSITION OF A WEAK SURFACE LOW WILL BE BY THIS TIME IS LESS CERTAIN...AND THIS MAY PLAY INTO WHETHER ANY HEAVIER POST FRONT PRECIPITATION CAN OCCUR INTO THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA. SOME POST FRONTAL RAIN IS EXPECTED WITH THE H7 WAVE STILL MOVING THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE EVENING HOURS....BUT WITH LIMITED MOISTURE NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY...NOT EXPECTING THIS TO PRODUCE MUCH QPF. ONCE THE SHORT WAVE MOVES BY OVERNIGHT...LOOKING FOR MAINLY DRY WEATHER ON THURSDAY...ALTHOUGH NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT EXTREME SOUTHERN AREAS COULD STILL SEE SOME LINGERING LIGHT RAIN IN THE MORNING. HEADING INTO FRIDAY...ANOTHER MORE PRONOUNCED SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS IS EXPECTED TO BRING ANOTHER FRONTAL PASSAGE TO THE AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY EVENING WITH MORE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE. FOR NOW WILL FOCUS CHANCE POPS IN NORTHERN AREAS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...THEN EXPAND THE CHANCE POPS AREA ACROSS MOST OF THE CWFA DURING THE NIGHTTIME HOURS...BUT TIMING IS STILL A BIT OF A QUESTION MARK WITH THIS SHORT WAVE AND FRONT...SO ADJUSTMENTS MAY NEED TO BE MADE ON FUTURE FORECASTS. OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO THE FIRST OF NEXT WEEK...PATTERN TO REMAIN ACTIVE AS AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS IN THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE COUNTRY...KEEPING THE FORECAST AREA UNDER A SLIGHTLY NORTHWEST FLOW...WITH THE POTENTIAL OF A SERIES OF WEAK SHORT WAVES. PC && .AVIATION... /1238 AM CDT WED JUN 2 2010/ FOR THE 06Z TAFS...WATCHING PROGRESS ON RADAR OF CURRENT CONVECTION WHICH IS SHOWING MORE OF AN EASTWARD PROGRESSION RATHER THAN A SOUTHWARD PUSH...SO NOT CONVINCED IT WILL MAKE IT INTO THE KANSAS CITY TERMINALS AS SOME MODELS ARE SHOWING. OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HAS MOVED THROUGH THE KANSAS CITY TERMINALS AND EXPECT WINDS BEHIND IT TO GRADUALLY RECOVER AROUND TO THE SOUTHEAST THIS MORNING. BY EARLY AFTERNOON...SURFACE LOW EXPECTED TO MOVING INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS WITH ACTUAL FRONT EXTENDING NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE KANSAS CITY AREA...THUS THE POTENTIAL WILL BE THERE FOR MORE THUNDERSTORM REDEVELOPMENT DURING THE AFTERNOON PERIOD. FURTHER NORTH AT KSTJ...RADAR SHOWING LINE OF STORMS EXTENDING BACK ACROSS NORTHEAST KANSAS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE TERMINAL FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. COLD POOL FROM THIS CONVECTION SHOULD HELP DRIVE THE SURFACE FRONT SOUTH OF THAT TERMINAL THIS MORNING...SO NOT ANTICIPATING MORE STORM DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA AFTER CURRENT CONVECTION MOVES OUT. PC && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. &&

THE LINE WAS MOVING SOUTHEAST AND MAY REACH ATCHISON COUNTY BY 730 OR 8 PM. THE LINE WILL CONTINUE TO PROGRESS EAST SOUTHEAST TO A SAINT JOSEPH TO CHILLICOTHE TO MACON LINE BETWEEN 11 PM AND 1 AM. THE PRIMARY THREATS ARE LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND VERY HEAVY RAINFALL. IF THE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX HOLDS TOGETHER...IT WILL REACH THE INTERSTATE 70 CORRIDOR BETWEEN 2 AND 5 AM WITH THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER DIMINISHING. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER SHOULD SHIFT EAST OF THE REGION WEDNESDAY MORNING...BUT AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LEFT IN THE WAKE OF EARLIER THUNDERSTORMS WILL SERVE AS THE FOCUS FOR REDEVELOPMENT IN THE AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP AND BECOME QUITE WIDESPREAD ACROSS CENTRAL AND WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. SEVERE WEATHER MAY AGAIN OCCUR WITH THE MAIN THREATS BEING DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. LOOKING FURTHER AHEAD...THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES WILL INCREASE INTO WEEKEND AS A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS INTERACTS WITH SEVERAL UPPER AIR DISTURBANCES. IT REMAINS TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE IF THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE SEVERE. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED TONIGHT IN THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA.
