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 Jul 29, 10:27 PM CDT, 59 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 29, 10:27 PM CDT, 59 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1027 PM CDT MON JUL 29 2013

...SIGNIFICANT RISK OF FLASH FLOODING OVERNIGHT...

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
ISSUED AT 1015 PM CDT MON JUL 29 2013

THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING APPEARS TO BE INCREASING TONIGHT
INTO TUESDAY MORNING AS A LARGE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX CONTINUES TO
EVOLVE AND SPREAD ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS INT0 SOUTHWESTERN
MISSOURI.

A 35-45 KT LOW LEVEL JET WILL NOSE INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT AND
IMPINGE A WARM FRONT THAT WILL REMAIN DRAPED ACROSS SOUTHERN
MISSOURI. LIFT WILL BE FURTHER BE ENHANCED AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING
MINOR SHORTWAVE AND PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE UNDERNEATH
A BELT OF SEASONABLY STRONG WESTERLIES.

PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR 2 INCHES AND 850 MB DEWPOINTS OF 15
TO 17 DEGREE CELSIUS WILL SUPPORT TORRENTIAL RAINFALL RATES.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 5 INCHES HAVE OCCURRED ACROSS PORTIONS
OF SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS AND EXPECT SIMILAR AMOUNTS FARTHER EAST
INTO PORTIONS OF SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI.

THE INTENSE RAINFALL RATES AND TRAINING NATURE OF THE CONVECTION
WILL LEAD TO THE RISK OF SIGNIFICANT FLASH FLOODING.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT...MEDIA AND SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO
CLOSELY MONITOR THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION AND THE POTENTIAL
OF FLASH FLOODING OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 330 PM CDT MON JUL 29 2013

A WARM FRONT IS CURRENTLY LIFTING NORTHWARD TOWARDS THE AREA LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. A FEW ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS BUT MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN
WEST AND SOUTHWEST OF THE AREA THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.
A FEW OF THE STORMS THAT CAN DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT COULD
BECOME STRONG...MAINLY WEST OF AN OSCEOLA TO CASSVILLE MISSOURI
LINE WITH HAIL TO THE SIZE OF NICKELS AND WINDS IN EXCESS OF 50
MPH THE MAIN RISK.

DURING THE LATE EVENING HOURS INTO THE OVERNIGHT HORUS. SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD AND EXPAND IN COVERAGE ACROSS THE
AREA THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO TUESDAY AFTERNOON. A FEW
LINGERING SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING
BUT THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL OCCUR FROM LATE THIS EVENING INTO
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

A VERY MOIST AIR MASS IS SPREADING INTO THE AREA AND PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES WILL EXCEED 2 INCHES AND 850MB DEW POINTS WILL WARM
TO ABOVE 15C DURING THIS TIME FRAME. ONCE THE MOIST AIR MASS
OVERSPREADS THE AREA...LAPSE RATES WILL NOT BE ALL THAT STEEP AND
THE STRONG TO SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL DECREASE AS THE POTENTIAL FOR
HEAVY RAINFALL INCREASES. THIS VERY MOIST AIR MASS WILL ALLOW FOR
VERY PROFICIENT RAINFALL PRODUCTION WITH THE SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SPREADING ACROSS THE AREA. A UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE CURRENTLY SPREADING ACROSS OKLAHOMA ALONG WITH THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET WILL HELP THE SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND SPREAD EAST. THE
RAINFALL WILL TAPPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
EXPECTING RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3" WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER
AMOUNTS. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL OCCUR NORTH OF HIGHWAY 60.
FEEL THE MODELS...ESPECIALLY THE NAM WRF ARE TOO FAR NORTH WITH
THE HEAVY RAIN AXIS AND BELIEVE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT COULD
EXTEND SOUTH TO NEAR THE MISSOURI ARKANSAS LINE.

A WARMER AIR MASS IS SPREADING INTO THE REGION...BUT WITH CLOUDS
AND PRECIPITATION IN THE AREA ON TUESDAY...HIGHS WILL REMAIN IN
THE UPPER 70S TO THE MIDDLE 80S.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY  THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 PM CDT MON JUL 29 2013

WARMER AND DRIER CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS
HIGHS TOP OUT IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 80S. THE AREA WILL REMAIN IN
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND ADDITIONAL UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL
MOVE THROUGH THIS NORTHWEST FLOW AND BRING ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 628 PM CDT MON JUL 29 2013

FOR THE KSGF/KJLN/KBBG TAFS...CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED OVER SE KS AND WEST CENTRAL MO WITH THE BULK OF THE OF
PRECIP STAYING NORTH OF KJLN IN THE SHORT TERM. WITH
TIME...ACTIVITY WILL SHIFT EAST AFFECTING THE TAF SITES OVERNIGHT
INTO EARLY TUE. WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY MVFR VISIBILITY WITH
THUNDERSTORMS THEN REFINE THE TAFS ONCE RADAR TRENDS DICTATE
WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF IFR CONDITIONS AT TIMES. AFTER 14Z-
15Z...IT LOOKS LIKE THE BULK OF HEAVIER RAIN SHIFTS EAST OF THE
AREA WITH WINDS VEERING TO THE SW AND THE OVERALL ATMOSPHERE
STARTING TO DRY A BIT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 330 PM CDT MON JUL 29 2013

THE INFLUX OF A VERY MOIST AIR MASS AND THE POTENTIAL OF MULTIPLE
ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BRING THE RISK OF HEAVY
IF NOT EXCESSIVE RAINFALL TO AREAS ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS
AND WESTERN MISSOURI LATE THIS EVENING INTO TOMORROW. THIS RISK
MAY EXTEND INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI ON TUESDAY.

WHILE ANTECEDENT SOIL CONDITIONS ARE NOT SATURATED MOST AREAS ARE
SOMEWHAT MOIST FOR LATE JULY. CURRENT STREAM FLOWS ACROSS THE
MISSOURI OZARKS AND FAR SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS ARE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

PRECIPITATED WATER VALUES PROGGED TO RISE TO AROUND OR IN EXCESS
OF 2 INCHES AND 850 DEW POINTS OF 15 TO 18 DEGREES CELSIUS WILL
SUPPORT TORRENTIAL RAINFALL RATES WITHIN DEEP CONVECTION. THE
PATTERN WILL SUPPORT MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ALONG WITH TRAINING STORMS. STORM RAINFALL TOTALS FROM MONDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY WILL RANGE FROM ONE TO THREE INCHES WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS.

IF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL DOES MATERIALIZE...FLASH FLOODING OF SMALL
STREAMS AND LOW WATER CROSSINGS COULD BECOME A CONCERN TONIGHT INTO
TUESDAY. SIGNIFICANT RIVER RISES INCLUDING ALONG AREA RECREATIONAL
WATERWAYS COULD ALSO OCCUR.

1004 PM CDT MON JUL 29 2013

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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

  LIMITED HAIL RISK.
  LIMITED THUNDERSTORM WIND DAMAGE RISK.
  SIGNIFICANT FLOODING RISK.
  SIGNIFICANT LIGHTNING RISK.

DISCUSSION...

  SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
  OVERSPREAD MUCH OF THE OUTLOOK AREA OVERNIGHT.

  TORRENTIAL RAINFALL RATES AND TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3
  INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF 4 INCHES MAY
  LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. THE GREATEST RISK OF FLASH FLOODING WILL
  BE GENERALLY ALONG AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 65 WHERE A FLASH FLOOD
  WATCH IS IN EFFECT.

  THE OVERALL RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE LIMITED...BUT THE
  STRONGER STORMS WILL PRODUCE FREQUENT LIGHTNING...AND POSSIBLY
  SMALL HAIL...AND WIND GUSTS TO 50 MPH.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

  THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ONGOING THROUGH TUESDAY WITH LOCALLY
  HEAVY RAINFALL AND THE CONTINUED RISK OF FLOODING.

  THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MAY LINGER INTO WEDNESDAY WITH ADDITIONAL
  CHANCES FOR STORMS FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED THROUGH TONIGHT. HOWEVER
  EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO RELAY
  OBSERVED FLOODING.
