Widespread moderate to heavy rain resulted in numerous roads across northern Missouri to be flooded. Impacts were rather low, as most of these closures were soon resolved once the water receded.

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 Apr 1, 5:23 AM CST, 4 hours 35 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 623 AM CDT Sat Apr 1 2017 .Discussion... Issued at 414 AM CDT SAT APR 1 2017 Short wave ridging over the forecast area this morning, which is helping to keep the lull in the precipitation going through at least most of the day today. At the surface a ridge of high pressure is dominating the area, bringing steady northeast winds and cool air. a thin layer of low stratus has built into the area which should maintain overcast conditions through the day. However with the lack of any mid level ascent as well as dry conditions above the stratus not expecting any precipitation through the day on Saturday. Rain should gradually start to move into the area from west to east Saturday night into Sunday morning as a closed off low slowly lumbers its way eastward and into the High Plains. Good moisture advection ahead of the mid/upper trough as well as the low level trough should provide enough moisture to produce areas of rain through the day on Sunday. The bulk of the rain appears to be weighted toward the early to middle part of the day on Sunday, with perhaps a lull on Sunday afternoon and evening before another round of rain picks up Sunday night into Monday as the mid/upper level trough ejects eastward. Along with the steady moisture flow into the area comes with it some instability, so expect some of this activity to have some thunder with it. But with limited instability comes weak thunderstorms, unlikely to produce any severe weather through the weekend. The weekend system departs the area by Monday, which should see rain gradualy come to an end through the day as the system moves east. After a lull in the precipitation on Tuesday as shortwave ridging moves through, the next large trough rolls into the Central Plains Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Once again good moisture push into the area as well as the strong mid/upper system should have enough instability to bring some thunder, but again no severe weather is expected with this activity. That being said, this system could bring a decent amount of rain to an already damp area. By the end of the week the parade of wet systems will come to a relative halt, bringing dry weather into next weekend. When all is said and done and all the systems move through the area most places should see over a half-inch of rain, with some areas, perhaps seeing around half inch to a full inch. && .Aviation...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday Morning) Issued at 621 AM CDT SAT APR 1 2017 Thin stratus across the area will lend to breaks in the clouds at each terminal over the next several hours, but prevailing conditions will still be MVFR stratus through at least the morning and early afternoon. Expect improvement to VFR later in the day, perhaps as early as around noon, but more likely in the late afternoon to early evening hours. Light rain will move into the area starting perhaps as early as 09z at the terminals, but more likely closer closer to the 10z to 12z time frame. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE.
