Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Jun 3, 9:37 PM CDT, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 9:37 PM CDT, 2 hours 25 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
937 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2008

...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...

.UPDATE...

WELL...SO MUCH FOR THE IDEA OF CONVECTION TRYING TO FIRE ALONG A
BOUNDARY ACROSS THE INTERSTATE 35 CORRIDOR. THE SEVERE CONVECTION
THAT PREVIOUSLY FIRED ACROSS SOUTHWEST KANSAS AND NORTHWEST
OKLAHOMA EXPLODED ONCE IT OVERTOOK THAT BOUNDARY. ONE OF THE FEW
CHANCES WE HAD FOR THIS CONVECTION TO MAKE IT INTO THE FORECAST
AREA HAS BEEN REALIZED IN THE FORM OF AN MCS.

THIS MCS QUICKLY MATURED FROM JUST SOUTH OF WICHITA TO JUST NORTH
OF ENID OKLAHOMA. NEIGHBORING RADAR DATA INDICATES A FAIRLY
DEFINED BOWING STRUCTURE WITH A REAR INFLOW JET. THERE IS ALSO A
STRONG MARC SIGNATURE PRESENT WITH THIS BOWING LINE FROM COWLEY
COUNTY KANSAS INTO KAY COUNTY OKLAHOMA. NO SURPRISE THAT SEVERAL
REPORTS OF WIND DAMAGE HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECEIVED FROM SOUTH
CENTRAL KANSAS.

THE 0 TO 2 KM SHEAR VECTORS ARE VERY FAVORABLE FOR CONTINUED SHEAR
AND COLD POOL INTERACTION WITH AN EASTWARD MOVING LINE. THIS
INTERACTION AND RECENT RADAR TRENDS POINT TO MORE OF A FORWARD
PROPAGATING MCS. EVEN THOUGH A CAP REMAINS AHEAD OF THIS
MCS...FEEL IT WILL AT LEAST MAKE IT INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS
AND POSSIBLY WESTERN MISSOURI ZONES LATE THIS EVENING. GIVEN THE
FORWARD PROPAGATING NATURE TO THIS MCS...VERY DAMAGING WINDS WILL
BE A STRONG CONCERN. LARGE HAIL ALSO REMAINS A CONCERN GIVEN THE
INSTABILITY AND LARGE SCALE SHEAR PRESENT. QUICK SPIN UPS ALONG
THE LINE WILL ALSO BE A POSSIBILITY. UPDATE TO PUBLIC FORECAST
AND HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK ARE FORTHCOMING.

SCHAUMANN

&&

.DISCUSSION...

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT WAS THE
PRIMARY FOCUS IN TODAYS FORECAST ANALYSIS.  TORNADOES...LARGE
HAIL...AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL OCCUR AS THUNDERSTORMS ERUPT ALONG A
FRONTAL SYSTEM EXTENDING FROM NORTHEAST/EAST CENTRAL KANSAS INTO
CENTRAL MISSOURI THIS EVENING.

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT)...
THE 18Z KSGF RAOB MEASURED A HIGHLY UNSTABLE
AIRMASS...HOWEVER...THIS INSTABILITY WAS CAPPED BY VERY WARM AIR
WITHIN THE 850 - 700 MB LAYER.  MIXED LAYER CIN WAS MEASURED AT -196
J/KG...DESPITE THE MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER AND UPPER 80 DEGREE
TEMPERATURES.

MEANWHILE...A SURFACE BOUNDARY (CURRENTLY AT 1945Z) IS POSITIONED
NEAR THE KANSAS TURNPIKE.  THIS FEATURE WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY
SHIFT EAST WHILE A 850 TO 700 MB TROUGH FOLDS OVER THE WARM SECTOR IN
A WEST TO EAST ORIENTATION BY 00-03Z TONIGHT.  THIS TROUGH CAN BE
VIEWED ON THE WRF 310 AND 315 DEGREE POTENTIAL TEMPERATURE SURFACES
FROM EAST CENTRAL KANSAS TO EAST CENTRAL MISSOURI.  40-50 KNOTS OF
PARCEL MOVEMENT RIDES UP THIS ZONE OF BAROCLINICITY...WHICH WILL
ALLOW BOUNDARY LAYER PARCELS TO PUNCH THROUGH THE CAP AIDING IN
CONVECTION.

THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BE CONDUCIVE TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. ML CAPES
IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG COMBINED WITH 0-8 KM SHEAR MAGNITUDES OF 40
KNOTS WILL EXIST PRIOR TO INITIATION.  SEVERAL INDICES POINT TOWARD
THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SIGNIFICANT TORNADOES.  WILL ALSO
UPGRADE HAIL SIZE WITHIN THE HWO TO GOLF BALLS...WHILE DAMAGING
STRAIGHT LINE WINDS IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH CAN NOT BE RULED OUT.

WILL FOLLOW THE 18Z WRF CLOSELY IN ATTEMPTING TO PINPOINT WHICH
AREAS HAVE THE BEST CHANCES AT EXPERIENCING THESE STORMS.  THE MID
LEVEL TROUGH AXIS LINES UP ROUGHLY ALONG A LINE FROM PITTSBURG
KANSAS TO SALEM MISSOURI.  ANYONE ALONG AND NORTH OF THIS LINE SHOULD
MONITOR WEATHER CONDITIONS CLOSELY THIS EVENING AND INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS.

LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY - MONDAY)...
HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH MOST OF THE WEDNESDAY -
MONDAY PERIOD.  THE ONE FLY IN THE OINTMENT REGARDS THE THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY TIME FRAME.  AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS
FORECAST TO SHIFT OVER A HIGHLY CHARGED AIRMASS IN THE CENTRAL
PLAINS...WHERE A DECENT EPISODE OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL LIKELY
MATERIALIZE.  THERE IS A DECENT QPF SIGNAL THAT OVERNIGHT RESIDUAL
STORMS WOULD SHIFT EAST INTO MISSOURI...POSSIBLY HOLDING UP INTO
FRIDAYS PERIOD.  ITS DEFINITELY A SHORT TERM FORECAST CHALLENGE...BUT
FOR NOW I KEPT THE POP FORECAST CLOSE TO MAV GUIDANCE WITH 40S AND
50S ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA.

THE LATEST GFS SUGGESTS THAT THE OVERALL PATTERN WILL EXPERIENCE
LITTLE CHANGE HEADING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.  A LONG WAVE TROUGH
REMAINS PARKED OUT WEST WHILE RIDGING PERSISTS OVER THE SOUTHEAST
CONUS.  SEVERAL DISTURBANCES MIGRATING THROUGH THE SOUTHWEST FLOW
WILL CAUSE DAILY PERIODS OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE PLAINS.  MOST OF
THIS ENERGY WOULD RIDE THE STORM TRACK NORTH OF THE OZARKS.

CRAMER

&&

.AVIATION...

BREEZY SOUTH WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE AFTER SUNSET. HOWEVER
WINDS WILL INCREASE JUST OFF OF THE SURFACE CAUSING LOW LEVEL WIND
SHEAR. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN OVERNIGHT.
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS MAY MAKE INTO
THE JOPLIN VICINITY OVERNIGHT. RADAR TRENDS WILL BE MONITORED
CLOSELY. IT APPEARS THE BULK OF THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL
REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA TONIGHT. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
