.River levels have dropped below flood stage but will remain elevated.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Do not drive through flowing water. Nearly half of all flood 
fatalities are vehicle related. As little as 6 inches of water may 
cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Two feet of water will 
carry most vehicles away.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio for later statements.

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 10, 3:21 AM CDT, 1 hour 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 10, 3:21 AM CDT, 1 hour 36 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
321 AM CDT Fri Jul 10 2015

...Flooding Risk Today then a Break in the Rain this Weekend...

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 310 AM CDT FRI JUL 10 2015

Convection had reignited during the overnight hours across far
southern Missouri as the strengthening low level jet interacted
with the 925 MB boundary. This activity was bringing more heavy
rainfall to areas that don't need it and resulting in renewed
flash flooding.

There is a significant flood risk across portions of southern
Missouri generally along the Highway 60 corridor where storms are
expected to train through the early morning hours.

Expect this activity to continue through sunrise then gradually
weaken and lift northeast by the mid to late morning hours.

A surface warm front will lift north across the area today as the
upper level ridge begins to expand northward. Meanwhile another
minor shortwave or vorticity lobe will track from Kansas toward
northern Missouri today. These features along with moderate
instability will support additional isolated to scattered
convection this afternoon mainly across central Missouri. A few
strong to marginally severe storms cannot be ruled out given
stronger surface heating and resulting destabilization.

Expect convective activity to wane this evening and any overnight
convection to fire well north of the area along the retreating
warm front and shortwave.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 310 AM CDT FRI JUL 10 2015

The upper level ridge will become a more dominant factor this
weekend as it expands northward a bit and retrogrades to the west.
Returning southerly flow and rising 500 MB heights will result in
seasonably hot and humid weather conditions along with welcome
sunshine and a break in the rain.

The periodic chance for showers and storms will return next week
as the ridge flattens once again and shortwaves track along the
northern periphery of the ridge. The main belt of westerlies will
remain north of the area but there will be enough influence from
passing disturbances and sagging boundaries to support at least a
chance of convection at times. Otherwise seasonably warm and humid
weather is expected.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday Night)
Issued at 1153 PM CDT THU JUL 9 2015

For the KSGF, KJLN, and KBBG TAFS...A surface front is stalled
across southern Missouri. The KJLN and KSGF sites are north of the
front and are seeing IFR conditions and will continue overnight.
KBBG is currently experiencing VFR flight conditions but expected
to drop into the IFR conditions later tonight.

An upper level disturbance is also tracking east across the region
and showers and thunderstorms are developing along the front. This
activity is expected to remain south and east of the KJLN site,
but are expected to affect the KBBG site early in the TAF period.
The KSGF site may be affected by this activity overnight. Heavy
rain and drop in ceilings and visiblities will occur with any
thunderstorm overnight.

Ceilings will improve Friday, with gusty winds expected to develop
during the afternoon hours, especially at the KJLN sites. Winds
will weak and skies will clear Friday evening.
