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 Aug 4, 2:40 PM CDT, 2 hours 46 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 4, 2:40 PM CDT, 2 hours 46 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
240 PM CDT Sun Aug 4 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 240 PM CDT SUN AUG 4 2013

The remnants of this mornings MCS continue to push across the CWA
this afternoon with mainly only the leading edge producing
moderate to heavy rainfall at this time. The rainfall (2 to 3
inches in some locations) has caused additional flooding problems
in the area. Light rain and cloud cover persist and in fact extend
back into south central Kansas. This has kept temperatures fairly
steady from the upper 60s to low 70s today in most locations.
Upper high remains over Texas with shortwave energy continuing to
track over the same locations helping to set off thunderstorm
activity on a daily basis.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday)
ISSUED AT 240 PM CDT SUN AUG 4 2013

Models are continuing to hint at another thunderstorm complex
developing north of a frontal boundary as the low level jet
increases later this evening and overnight. The main area
initially targeted will be east central Kansas into west central
Missouri and then spreading east southeast across the area Monday
morning. An additional one to two inches of widespread rainfall
will be possible with isolated higher amounts. Rainfall rates of 1
to 2 inches per hour will be possible with the stronger cells
which would likely lead to flash flooding given the recent heavy
rainfall and saturated ground. We have decided to extend the flash
flood watch until 12z Tuesday to account for the additional heavy
rainfall expected on Monday.

.LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday)
ISSUED AT 240 PM CDT SUN AUG 4 2013

By Monday night and Tuesday, the surface front will begin to lift
slightly northward and may also see the heavy rain axis shift
slightly to the northeast. A stronger upper level trough well to
the north will push across the upper Mississippi valley region
Tuesday night into Wednesday and will push the front back through
the area. This may cause additional heavy rain problems by
Wednesday night into Thursday as the front stalls out in northern
Arkansas and the low level jet sets up from southwest to
northeast. Westerlies look to persist through next weekend, so the
end to the unsettled pattern does not look to arrive soon.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday Afternoon)
ISSUED AT 1155 AM CDT SUN AUG 4 2013

Convection will continue through the first several hours of the
18z tafs...mostly in the form of SHRA, however some lingering TSRA
will be possible at BBG initially. MVFR/IFR conditions are
expected within the convection. This initial MCS should diminish
during the afternoon with additional convection expected to
develop during the late evening and overnight hours. Have also
thrown in some low level wind shear for the JLN TAF overnight as
the low level jet increases.

.SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
