What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 5, 11:30 PM CDT, 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 11:30 PM CDT, 5 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
1130 PM CDT Thu Jun 5 2014

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday)
Issued at 415 PM CDT THU JUN 5 2014

The active weather pattern will continue with the next round of
thunderstorms and heavy rainfall developing later tonight.

The airmass had stabilized in the wake of the convective complex
earlier today while the effective boundary had sagged southward into
northern Arkansas and northeastern Oklahoma. Meanwhile a couple of
perturbations tracking through a seasonably strong westerly flow
aloft were tracking toward the region.

This forecast is complex with features and convective development
driven by mesoscale processes.

We will initially have to monitor for potential convective
development early this evening across eastern Kansas into west
central Missouri with the passage of a weak impulse. While some
near term models indicate the development of robust convection
the extent of destabilization is in doubt. Overall expect we will
see some scattered storms develop early this evening mainly to
our northwest with the potential of this activity developing into
our area.

Of greater concern and confidence is convection developing late
this evening into the overnight hours as a more discernible
disturbance approaches from the west and a low level jet develops.
The low level jet and resulting moisture transport will interact
with the existing east to west oriented boundary to ignite
thunderstorm development. Ample instability rooted above the
boundary layer and seasonably strong deep layer shear will support
the potential of a few severe storms from southeastern Kansas into
far southern Missouri.

Of greater concern is the potential for torrential rainfall on top
of areas that have received recent heavy rains. Expect 1 to 2
inches with locally up to 3 inches across our southern counties or
generally south of a Nevada to Salem line.

A Flash Flood Watch has been issued for the Missouri Ozarks and
southeastern Kansas generally south of Highway 54.

.LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday)
Issued at 415 PM CDT THU JUN 5 2014

The parade of convection will continue into the weekend as the
front remains stalled across the region and a series of
disturbances track eastward. While the exact timing and
evolution of the development of thunderstorms is somewhat
uncertain it appears the focus for storm development will be
Friday night into Saturday and again late Saturday into Sunday.

Each round of convection will bring the potential of heavy
rainfall and flooding along with the risk of severe weather.

The unsettled weather will persist into next week with additional
chances of storms at times.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday Night)
Issued at 1127 PM CDT THU JUN 5 2014

Thunderstorms have redeveloped along a frontal boundary over
southern Missouri late this evening in an area of increased
instability and decreased CIN. Have increased coverage in JLN/BBG
tafs for the current activity but generally keeping things south
of SGF for now. Still anticipating a thunderstorm complex pushing
east overnight from western Oklahoma and possibly affecting
southern Missouri towards sunrise. Have kept overall in VFR except
MVFR within convection.

800 PM CDT THU JUN 5 2014

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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

  ELEVATED HAIL RISK.
  ELEVATED THUNDERSTORM WIND DAMAGE RISK.
  ELEVATED FLOODING RISK.
  ELEVATED LIGHTNING RISK.

DISCUSSION...

  SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP LATE THIS EVENING OVER
  SOUTHERN MISSOURI WITH HEAVY RAIN...DAMAGING WIND AND LARGE HAIL
  POSSIBLE IF ANY STRONG STORMS CAN DEVELOP.

  A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT AND
  MAY PUSH INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. VERY
  HEAVY RAIN AND DAMAGING WIND WILL BE THE MAIN RISK WITH THIS
  ACTIVITY DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

  DUE TO THE RECENT HEAVY RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS OF THE
  AREA...THERE IS AN ELEVATED RISK OF FLOODING ACROSS SOUTHERN
  MISSOURI FOR ANY AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN THAT DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

  MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL ARE
  EXPECTED THROUGH SUNDAY. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE
  POSSIBLE AT TIMES. THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING WILL CONTINUE
