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 Nov 13, 11:39 PM CST, 21 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 1139 PM CST Mon Nov 13 2023 ...Updated 06z Aviation... .Discussion... Issued at 201 PM CST MON NOV 13 2023 Key Messages... - Above normal temperatures will continue through Friday. High temperatures will be around 10 to 15 degrees above normal each day. - Dry conditions can be expected (>95% chance) through Saturday. - Elevated fire weather concerns Tuesday and Wednesday with dry, warm, and breezy conditions. Detailed Discussion... As expected, temperatures have easily pushed the upper 60s through 1 PM, with a few locations reaching 70 F. With upper riding spread across the Plains, the Texas H500 open trough continues to slide eastward. Overnight, with the trough sliding along the Gulf Coast, more ample dry WAA will develop off the southwest CONUS into our region. Given NBM has underperformed today and with more supportive warm air advection, H850 temps are expected to be around 10 C tomorrow afternoon, I expect temperatures to make a run at the lower 70s tomorrow and similarly on Wednesday. With that said, for hourly and max temps, I went with a 50 50 blend of the NBM and NBM 90th percentile through Wednesday afternoon. Elevated fire weather concerns will exist Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. Breezy southwest winds, 10 to 15 mph, will combine with warm and dry conditions. Minimum RH values will exist in the lower 30 to lower 40 percent range. Above normal temperatures and dry conditions are still expected to continue through the end of the week. Although upper level ridging will shallow a touch Thursday, southerly flow will persist, with temperatures easily reaching the mid 60s. Some places may push the upper 60s with enhanced southwest winds ahead of an approaching dry cold front from the northwest. This will bring temperatures back near normal on Friday, post-frontal, but enhanced ridging into Saturday will usher in temperatures back in the lower 60s for highs. Looking long range, still looks like the best precipitation chances will be Sunday night into Monday with the arrival of a stout trough across the central CONUS. Given seasonable temperatures in the lower 50s for highs and above freezing for lows, precip should be all rain. && .Aviation...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday Night) Issued at 1137 PM CST MON NOV 13 2023 High pressure is starting to exit the area but will still help keep skies clear at least through the morning. Winds will pick up slightly this afternoon. Higher cirrus clouds are possible in the afternoon. Overall VFR conditions are forecast through the TAF period. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
