The local office's own words before this frost advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this frost advisory went out at Oct 16, 12:27 PM CDT, 1 hour 9 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 16, 12:27 PM CDT, 1 hour 9 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 1227 PM CDT THU OCT 16 2008 .DISCUSSION... FORECAST CHALLENGES DEAL WITH TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. SOME POSSIBILITY OF MORNING FROST AT SOME LOCATIONS IN THE CWA BOTH TONIGHT AND FRIDAY NIGHT. CURRENTLY...COLD FRONT COMPLETELY THROUGH THE STATE...EXTENDING FROM SOUTHERN INDIANA TO EASTERN ARKANSAS TO SOUTHEAST TEXAS AT THIS TIME. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING NORTHWEST HALF OF THE CWA WITH CLEAR SKIES...CLOUDY SKIES BASICALLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 44. SOME WEAK RESIDUAL SHOWERS PERSISTING BASICALLY ALONG A LINE FROM BRANSON TO ROUND SPRINGS. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVING ON SHORE OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS...SHOULD STAY IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH SURFACE HIGH MOVING SOUTH INTO THE CWA. THIS WILL KEEP US IN LOW LEVEL NORTHEASTERLY FLOW AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH SATURDAY. SHORTWAVE THAT IS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO THE PACNW FORECAST TO TRACK ACROSS IOWA AND NORTHERN MISSOURI OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. ABOUT THE ONLY ELEMENT WE SHOULD SEE OUT OF THIS IS SOME VARIABLE CLOUDINESS ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI...WHICH SHOULD HELP TO KEEP OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES UP A LITTLE. DID GO AHEAD AND THROW IN SOME PATCHY FROST FOR OUR NORTHEAST COUNTIES OVERNIGHT AS LOCAL CLIMO PROGRAM SHOWING TEMPERATURES COULD GET DOWN INTO THE MID 30S IF WINDS DIE OFF AND WE SEE SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS. GENERALLY UNDERCUT MOS TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS AS UPSTREAM METARS ALREADY SHOWING LOW TO MID 30S ACROSS NEBRASKA. DAY SHIFT MAY NEED TO CUT A LITTLE MORE. SURFACE HIGH FORECAST TO SETTLE IN OVER OUR EASTERN AND EAST CENTRAL COUNTIES FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. WE SHOULD SEE FULL RADIATION AND CALM WINDS OVERNIGHT FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AND CONTINUED UNDERCUTTING MOS FORECAST TEMPERATURES. GIVEN THE RECENT WARM SPELL AND WARM SOIL TEMPERATURES...WIDESPREAD FROST SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM FOR SATURDAY MORNING. DID ADD PATCHY FROST FOR A SHORT TIME FOR OUR NORTHEAST COUNTIES AGAIN ON SATURDAY MORNING AND WILL CONTINUE IN THIS MORNINGS HWO. STILL LOOKING AT A DECENT WARM UP FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON ON INTO THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK WITH LOWS GENERALLY IN THE MID/UPPER 40S AND HIGHS RETURNING TO THE UPPER 60S/LOW 70S. LOOKING OUT TOWARDS MID WEEK...MODELS ARE COMING INTO AGREEMENT THAT WE MAY SEE A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. STILL TOO FAR OUT TO TELL...BUT COULD SEE A BOUT OF SEVERE WEATHER...FOLLOWED BY COLDER TEMPERATURES AFTER FROPA THAT MODELS ARE CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING. DAY SHIFT WILL MOST LIKELY BE ADDING POPS INTO THE FORECAST TODAY TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS SYSTEM FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. && .AVIATION... VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. NORTH TO NORTHEAST SURFACE WINDS NEAR 8 KNOTS WILL DIMINISH NEAR SUNSET WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE REGION. SKIES WILL REMAIN CLEAR WITH WINDS BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE TONIGHT.
