What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Apr 25, 6:22 AM CDT, 4 hours 27 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 25, 6:22 AM CDT, 4 hours 27 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
622 AM CDT MON APR 25 2011

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.DISCUSSION...

THE MAIN CONCERN IS THE ONGOING AND WORSENING FLOODING ACROSS THE
OZARKS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER
ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI LATER TODAY.

REGIONAL RADAR CONTINUES TO SHOW THE ENDLESS TRAIN OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS ACROSS THE OZARKS. AS OF THIS DISCUSSION...WATCHING A NEW
CONVECTIVE BAND INCREASING AND DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. THIS SHOULD CONTINUE TO EXPAND
AND AFFECT PARTS OF SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI BY
DAYBREAK THIS MORNING. THE GROUND IS COMPLETELY SATURATED AND
EVERY ADDITIONAL DROP OF WATER IS NOW JUST QUICKLY RUNNING OFF
INTO WATERWAYS.

WILL EXPECT AN INITIAL ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS
TO CONTINUE THROUGH MID MORNING. MODELS INDICATE THAT THE WARM
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL RAPIDLY LIFT NORTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN
MISSOURI BY MIDDAY. WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR ANY CONVECTION ALONG
THIS BOUNDARY AS IT MOVES NORTHWARD INTO MISSOURI FOR THE
POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER INCLUDING ISOLATED TORNADOES. MUCH OF
SOUTHERN MISSOURI ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE I-44 CORRIDOR WILL BE IN
THE WARM SECTOR BY MID AFTERNOON. PARAMETERS APPEAR TO POINT TO
THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER INCLUDING LOW LCL'S...MLCAPE
1000-2000 J/KG...VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES ALOFT...AMPLE EFFECTIVE
SHEAR...MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY. SUPERCELLULAR STORMS WILL
BE POSSIBLE IN THE WARM SECTOR ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTH CENTRAL
MISSOURI LATE THIS AFTERNOON. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST OUT
OF OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE EVENING HOURS WITH A LINE OF
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS
POSSIBLE AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL. FLASH FLOOD WATCH
WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH 7 AM TUESDAY MORNING. ADDITIONAL 1
TO 5 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE HEAVIEST TOTALS ACROSS SOUTH
CENTRAL MISSOURI.

FRONT WILL STALL OUT ACROSS CENTRAL ARKANSAS ON TUESDAY WITH A
POSSIBLE BREAK IN THE HEAVY RAINFALL FOR THE OZARKS BUT THIS FRONT
WILL BACK UP TOWARDS THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING
AS ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE RIDES UP ALONG IT. ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL WILL BE LIKELY WITH THE GREATEST AMOUNTS OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL MISSOURI FOR THIS TIME FRAME.

FINALLY THE UNSETTLED WEATHER MOVES OUT AS A DRIER WEATHER PATTERN
HEADS IN FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. A RETURN FLOW FROM THE GULF OF
MEXICO SETS UP AGAIN BY SATURDAY TO BRING IN SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
RAIN BY NEXT WEEKEND.

GRIFFIN

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 12Z TAFS...A ROUND OF CONVECTION WILL BE AFFECTING ALL
TERMINALS THROUGH LATE MORNING. CEILINGS AND VIS WILL VARY WITH
THE HEAVIER STORMS. MVFR CEILINGS AND VIS WILL OCCASIONALLY DROP
DOWN TO IFR CEILINGS AND EVEN LIFR AT BBG AT TIMES. WINDS WILL
START OFF EASTERLY BUT SHIFT TO SOUTHERLY BY THIS AFTERNOON WITH
SOME GUSTS. WINDS WILL BE ERRATIC AND VARYING NEAR STORMS
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH BY 04Z TONIGHT.
