The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Dec 27, 11:16 AM CST, 42 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 27, 11:16 AM CST, 42 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1116 AM CST SAT DEC 27 2008

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.DISCUSSION...

UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS CURRENTLY BEGINNING TO PUSH INTO THE CENTRAL
PLAINS...WHICH IS A LITTLE SLOWER THAN PREVIOUS THOUGHT. AS A
RESULT HEIGHT FALLS HAVE NOT MOVED INTO SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI
WHICH HAS LEFT THE AREA CAPPED. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW ELEVATED
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS NORTHERN ARKANSAS INTO CENTRAL
MISSOURI EAST OF HIGHWAY 65. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO BE
POSSIBLE EAST OF HIGHWAY 65 AND SHOULD REMAIN ELEVATED AND SEVERE
WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED WITH THIS ACTIVITY AT THIS TIME.

FARTHER NORTH ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI INTO ILLINOIS WHERE THE CAP
WEAKENED...THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED WITH SEVERAL BECOMING SEVERE.
BACK TO THE WEST ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS INTO SOUTHERN IOWA
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG THE COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM
SOUTHERN IOWA INTO NORTHERN TEXAS...WITH THE MAJORITY OF THIS AREA
UNDER TORNADO WARNINGS. THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY PUSH
EAST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT...WITH SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUING TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT AS IT MARCHES
EAST.

THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH TO THE
EAST TODAY...WITH THE COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO BE ON THE DOOR STEP
OF THE WESTERN CWA AROUND SUNRISE. AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
APPROACHES THE AREA...HEIGHT FALLS SHOULD WEAKEN THE CAP...ALLOWING
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH STORMS ALSO
EXPECTED ALONG THE FRONT. THE FRONT WILL PUSH EAST THROUGH THE
AREA...AND SHOULD EXIT THE EASTERN CWA BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
THE AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL REMAIN QUITE WARM AND MOIST
WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S AND TEMPERATURES WELL IN THE 60S
EXPECTED. ENOUGH INSTABILITY SHOULD RETURN TO THE AREA TO MAKE ALL
MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE WITH THE ACTIVITY THE DEVELOPS
AHEAD OF THE FRONT. VERY STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL
ACCOMPANY THIS STORM SYSTEM...SO TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS
THE ENTIRE AREA...HOWEVER THE BETTER INSTABILITY WILL BE ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN CWA SOUTHWARD WHERE THE BETTER TORNADO POTENTIAL WILL
RESIDE. THE AIRMASS OVER THE REGION IS VERY MOIST FOR THIS TIME
OF YEAR...SO VERY HEAVY RAINFALL CAN BE EXPECTED TODAY WITH ONE TO
THREE INCHES STILL EXPECTED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL
LIKELY LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING.

COLDER AIR WILL QUICKLY FILTER INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE
FRONT...AND CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE
NORTHWESTERN CWA TOMORROW EVENING...HOWEVER AT THIS TIME IT
APPEARS THE FRONT WILL BE PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH THAT ALL THE
PRECIPITATION SHOULD HAVE PUSHED OFF TO THE EAST BEFORE THE
TEMPERATURES COOL ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE FRONT.

A COOLER AIRMASS WILL FILTER INTO THE REGION BEHIND THIS
SYSTEM...WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO START THE WORK
WEEK AS A ZONAL PATTERN WILL SET UP OVER THE REGION. AN UPPER
LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL SWING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS
DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WORK WEEK. THE ENERGY AND ASSOCIATED
PRECIPITATION SHOULD REMAIN WELL NORTH OF THE AREA...HOWEVER THIS
TROUGH SHOULD BRING SLIGHTLY COOLER CONDITIONS TO THE REGION.

WISE

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...COLD FRONT STILL LAGGING BEHIND MAIN BAND OF
RAIN SOME WITH 850MB TROUGH STILL BACK OVER EASTERN KANSAS. WINDS
HAVE SHIFTED TO THE NORTHWEST IN EXTREME EASTERN KANSAS AND
WESTERN MISSOURI. WITH THIS WIND SHIFT...IFR CEILINGS HAVE
DEVELOPED WITH THE UPSLOPE FLOW. DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE 850MB
THERMAL TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE JOPLIN AREA UNTIL 00Z AND SHORTLY
THERAFTER FOR THE SPRINGFIELD AERODROME. THEREFORE...WILL KEEP IFR
CEILINGS GOING FOR BOTH TAFS UNTIL THAT THERMAL TROUGH MOVES

952 AM CST SAT DEC 27 2008

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF THE MISSOURI
OZARKS AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

  WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:

  FLOODING...TORNADOES...DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND HAIL.

  AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING:

 SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER CENTRAL AND
 EAST CENTRAL MISSOURI SHORTLY LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH THE
 EARLY AFTERNOON.

  DISCUSSION:

  A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY EXTENDING FROM ELDON TO
  SPRINGFIELD TO CASSVILLE IS MOVING STEADILY EASTWARD AT 15 TO 20
  MPH. AHEAD OF THIS LINE...INSTABILITY REMAINS HIGH WITH
  TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 60S AND DEW POINTS IN THE LOW 60S.

  DUE TO VERY STRONG WINDS ALOFT...STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL LIKELY
  TAKE ON A SUPER-CELLULAR CHARACTER THEN EVOLVE INTO CLUSTERS OF
  STORMS OR A BROKEN LINE OF STORMS AS THEY PUSH TO THE EAST. ALL
  MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE INCLUDING...DAMAGING
  WINDS...TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL AND HEAVY RAINFALL. THE BEST
  INSTABILITY ACROSS THE AREA WILL OCCUR ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI
  SOUTHWARD...WHERE AN INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES WILL
  OCCUR.

  OF CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR REDEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING OF
  STORMS...LEADING TO HEAVY RAINFALL. WITH SUB SURFACE SOILS
  REMAINING FROZEN...RAPID RUNOFF MAKES FLOODING A CONCERN.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

  NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

 SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED EAST OF AN OSAGE BEACH
 TO SPRINGFIELD TO CASSVILLE THROUGH LATE MORNING AS THE LINE
 CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. AS THE LINE MOVES
 THROUGH YOUR AREA...SEVERE CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE
 RAPIDLY IN THE COLDER NORTHWEST FLOW.
