What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood watch 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 watch went out at Aug 4, 11:46 AM CDT, 1 hour 41 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 4, 11:46 AM CDT, 1 hour 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 1146 AM CDT Fri Aug 4 2017 ...18Z AVIATION UPDATE... .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 238 AM CDT Fri Aug 4 2017 A weak upper level short wave was moving across the region early this morning which was helping to produce a few showers across southeastern Kansas and western Missouri. Rainfall from these showers will be on the light side with a few hundredths up to a tenth of an inch, though most locations will remain dry. That wave will continue to slide to the south as unseasonable cool surface high pressure begins to slide over the area. This will bring very mild temperatures to the Ozarks today with most highs today only climbing into middle 70s to near 80 degrees. The surface high will be directly overhead tonight with clear skies and cool temperatures expected. Overnight lows will fall into the 50s for much of the Ozarks. For this time of year this is unusual but will make a great night to open the windows. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 238 AM CDT Fri Aug 4 2017 The upper level pattern will be rather active through this weekend and next week with a modified northwest to zonal flow. This pattern will bring the next system into the region Saturday morning. A tightening surface gradient will develop as this next system squeezes today's surface high to the east. This will bring showers and scattered storms to the area for much of the day Saturday into Sunday. There is some concern looking at ensemble GFS and ECMWF precipitation data for some heavy rainfall across locations north of I-44 through this period. This will be highly dependent on the speed and efficiency of the system as it moves through the region. There is quite the variance in output with the general average rainfall amounts from 2 to 4 inches from Saturday through Tuesday. This does not rule out some periods of heavy rain or possible flooding. However, confidence is low currently. Combine this with the recent dry period the area has seen and soils and rivers can likely support some rain at this point. The middle of next week looks quiet with high pressure once again moving over the region though another system will quickly move into the area for the end of next week into next weekend with more rain expected. This pattern will also keep the cool temperatures across the region through next weekend with afternoon highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s each day and overnight lows in the lower 60s at night. For the beginning of August, it sure looks more like late September or early October instead. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon) Issued at 1142 AM CDT Fri Aug 4 2017 VFR conditions expected through the TAF period as high pressure remains in control. Winds will remain out of the north with some gusts of 10-15kts this afternoon before switching around to the east and then south on Saturday. Mid level clouds will move into the area during the mid morning hours Saturday. Can not rule out a shower or thunderstorm Saturday morning however confidence is too low at this time to include in the TAF. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
