Time	Report	Where	Remark

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood 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.

The nearest sounding before it

Springfield, MO (KSGF), launched 00:00Z, 1.9 hours before the alert went out and 20 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash 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 flash flood warning went out at Dec 27, 5:30 PM CST, 2 hours 24 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service SPRINGFIELD MO
530 PM CST SUN DEC 27 2015

...Update to Aviation Discussion...

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday)
Issued at 0215 PM CST SUN DEC 27 2015

Heavy rainfall continues to fall across the Missouri Ozarks.
Reports across the region have been anywhere from 2 to 10 inches.
The heaviest band of rain that set up overnight from McDonald
county north to Laclede county has continued to remain in place
where 6 to 10 inches of rain has already fallen. The bad part is
that portions of this area are expected to see additional heavy
rainfall this evening and during the overnight hours.

Regional radar and observations, including models, are beginning
to spread convective elements embedded in the precipitation north
into the area. This will bring the potential for bursts of
heavier rainfall with hourly rain rate approaching 2 inch/hour.

Confidence is fairly high that based on current Meso/Short range
models,that the heavy rainfall band will begin to slowly lift
north and pivot to a more north south orientation. The concern is
that the band will pivot over the McDonald County area with
additional rainfall totals of 2-4 inches through Monday morning.
With the ongoing Flood Emergencies for both McDonald and Newton
Counties, there may be significant rises with rivers, streams and
ongoing flooding.

As the upper level storm system begins its northward move, the
potential for thunderstorms will shift east of the region.
Additionally, rain will finally begin to lighten up though additional
rain in expected through the day Monday.

The next concern is the track of the storm system and cold air.
The GFS and Canadian have shifted the track slightly east. This
will potentially allow cold air to begin to filter into SE Kansas
and western Missouri mid day Monday into Monday evening. If this
were to occur we could begin to see a mix of Freezing rain and/or
snow begin to fall across areas west of I-49 Monday afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday)
Issued at 0215 PM CST SUN DEC 27 2015

The storm system will be in the process of shifting north of the
region Monday night with some light freezing drizzle or snow
falling in the wrap around area. Little of no accumulations are
anticipated at this time. Confidence is low for any accumulation
wintry precipitation for now.

A colder more seasonable airmass will filter into the region for
the remainder of the week with highs in the 30s and lows dipping
into the teens.

A clipper type system will bring the only potential for some
light snow or flurries to the area for this week, Tuesday night
into Wednesday morning, but no accumulations are expected.

A slight warming trend will occur for next weekend with high
making it into the lower 40s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday Evening)
Issued at 0530 PM CST SUN DEC 27 2015

For the KSGF, KJLN, and KBBG TAFS: An upper level storm system
continues to track east across the southern plains with rain and
low level clouds continuing to blanket the area. The rain will be
heaviest through the overnight hours, with rain or light drizzle
occurring Monday afternoon. Ceilings will be in the MVFR to IFR
range through the entire TAF period with LIFR conditions not out
of the question overnight. There could be some isolated embedded
thunderstorms with in the rain this evening and overnight.

Gusty north to northeasterly winds will also occur through the TAF
period with the strongest winds this evening and tonight. Low
level wind shear will also be a concern at the TAF sites overnight
into early Sunday morning.
