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 15, 6:49 PM CDT, 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 15, 6:49 PM CDT, 26 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
649 PM CDT SUN JUN 15 2008

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.UPDATE...

TWO MAIN AREAS OF CONCERN ARE SOUTH CENTRAL MO AND EXTREME
SOUTHWEST MO/SE KS. RUC STILL INDICATES MLCAPES OF 2000 J/KG AHEAD
OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARY IN SOUTH CNTRL MO..BUT 0-6 KM SHEAR IS WEAKER
IN THIS AREA AND OVERALL STORM ORGANIZATION AS DECREASED OVER THE
PAST 45 MINUTES.

BETTER INSTABILITY ON THE ORDER OF 2500-3500 MLCAPE...WEAK OR NON-
EXISTENT CAP...AND 30-40KT 0-6KM SHEAR EXISTS OVER EXTREME
SOUTHWEST MO AND SE KS. UPDRAFTS HAVE INCREASED IN THIS AREA AIDED
BY OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. BELIEVE THIS WILL BE THE MAIN AREA TO MONITOR
INTO THE MID EVENING HOURS.

DSA

&&

.DISCUSSION...

LARGE STORM COMPLEX OVER NORTHERN MISSOURI EARLY THIS AFTERNOON
CONTINUES TO BARREL SOUTHWARD TOWARD OUR FORECAST AREA. WE ARE
STARTING TO SEE SOME STORMS DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE MAIN OUTFLOW JUST
NORTH OF ST. CLAIR COUNTY. AS EXPECTED WE HAVE DESTABILIZED
GREATLY WITH SURFACE BASED CAPES ALREADY EXCEEDING 3000 J/KG.
LATEST SOUNDING SHOWS THAT MOISTURE DEPTH HAS INCREASED OVER THE
AREA ALSO. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS ALREADY BEEN POSTED
JUST NORTH OF OUR AREA AND EXPECT AN EXTENSION SOUTHWARD SOON.

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)...

THE MAIN SHOW FOR THE SHORT TERM IS ALREADY ONGOING SO FOCUSED ON
PRECIPITATION CHANCES TONIGHT AND ATTEMPTED TO TIME THE HIGHER
POPS/QPF WITH THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS AFTERNOONS MCS. PLAN TO
LEAVE THE FLOOD WATCH GOING AS IS...BUT COULD SEE SOME MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS WITH TIMING.

AS FAR AS ENDING THE PRECIP CHANCES...ALL MODEL GUIDANCE HAS
SLOWED SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION OF QPF AS MAIN COLD FRONT LAGS ABOUT
6-12 HOURS BEHIND PREVIOUS FORECAST. OTHERWISE...DID NOT MAKE MANY
CHANGES TO GOING FORECAST THROUGH MIDWEEK AS SURFACE HIGH BUILDS
SOUTH INTO OUR AREA. TEMPERATURES REMAIN ON THE COOL SIDE AND KEPT
MID TO UPPER 50S FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS MOST AREAS.

TERRY
&&

LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...

MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE LARGE SCALE FEATURES IN THE
EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD...THERE ARE SOME SMALL DETAILS THAT THEY
DEFFER ON BUT OVERALL THEY AGREE. THEREFORE...HAVE GENERALLY
FOLLOWED A BLEND OF THE ECMWF AND GFS MODELS FOR THE LONG TERM
PORTION OF THE FORECAST.

AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BE OVER THE WESTERN US WITH AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE EAST COAST DURING THE SECOND HALF OF
THE WEEK. THIS WILL LEAVE THE AREA IN NORTHWEST FLOW...WITH A
FEW WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES RIDING THE NORTHWEST FLOW INTO
THE AREA. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THE LONG TERM PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST WILL BE A COMPLETE WASHOUT...BUT THERE WILL BE SEVERAL CHANCES
FOR OFF AND ON AGAIN SHOWERS THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. HAVE LEFT
SLIGHT POPS IN THE FORECAST FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT...AS THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES APPROACH THE AREA.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR NORMAL OVER THE LATTER HALF
OF THE WEEK...THE AREA REMAINS IN NORTHWEST FLOW.

WISE

&&

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 00Z TAFS...WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY VICINITY THUNDER FOR
JOPLIN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TAF FORECAST PERIOD BASED ON LATEST
RADAR TRENDS. OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HAS SET UP NEAR JOPLIN AND EXPECT
STORMS TO CONTINUE FIRING ALONG THIS BOUNDARY THROUGH THE EVENING.
WENT AHEAD AND DELAYED VICINITY THUNDER FOR A FEW HOURS AS RAIN-
COOLED AIR OVER SPRINGFIELD WILL NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME TO RE-
DESTABILIZE.

SURFACE HIGH WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA ON MONDAY. HAVE CONCERNS
THAT GOING WIND SHIFT MAY BE A BIT QUICK AND WILL MAKE
MODIFICATIONS ON WIND DIRECTION IF NEEDED.
