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 Dec 13, 11:50 PM CST, 1 hour 41 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 13, 11:50 PM CST, 1 hour 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service SPRINGFIELD MO
1150 PM CST SUN DEC 13 2015

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday)
Issued at 208 PM CST SUN DEC 13 2015

Rainy day across the region as a large upper level storm system
slowly ejects to the northeast. Models have trended a few hours
slower with the speed of this system, and higher PoPs will need
to be held on longer across the Missouri Ozarks this evening.
Once the dry slot punches into the region, rainfall will
transition to patchy drizzle/scattered light showers, which will
linger for the remainder tonight into Monday morning. Lows
tonight will eventually fall into the low/mid 40s by daybreak.

Storm total rainfall of 1-3" with this system still looks
reasonable given what has been observed so far and expected
rainfall totals from the near term guidance through tonight.
Locally higher amounts are possible near the four states region.
The going flood watch continues to handle the situation well and
should be allowed to expire on time.

Clouds will persist much of the day Monday, which will keep
temperatures in check. Clearing from southwest to northeast is
expected during the afternoon, amassing enough heating/mixing to
get temperatures a few degrees either side of the 50 degree mark
across the area.

.LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday)
Issued at 208 PM CST SUN DEC 13 2015

Mainly quiet weather is expected for the remainder of the
forecast. A quick moving upper level disturbance will pass
through the area late Tuesday into Wednesday morning, which will
usher a cooler airmass into the region. By no means anything
unusual, as highs return to the 40s and low return to the 20s and
30s. Little if any rainfall is expected this week. A moderating
trend is expected heading into next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday Night)
Issued at 1145 PM CST SUN DEC 13 2015

An upper level low pressure system will slowly move through the
region overnight and into Monday. Scattered light rain showers and
pockets of drizzle will continue. Conditions will primarily start
off in the VFR category with areas of MVFR scattered about. MVFR
will then become the prevailing flight category as sunrise
approaches...with MVFR continuing for much of Monday. Skies are
finally expected to clear around sunset.

Meanwhile, brisk and gusty southwest winds will continue overnight
and into Monday morning. Gusts over 25 knots are expected. Winds
will begin to diminish Monday afternoon.
