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 May 2, 6:10 AM CDT, 3 hours 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 2, 6:10 AM CDT, 3 hours 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
610 AM CDT Tue May 2 2017

...12z Aviation Forecast Update...

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 218 AM CDT Tue May 2 2017

High pressure over the region this morning will begin to slowly
lift out of the area through the day today. This will be aided by
another storm system that will take shape across the southern
plains and take aim on the Ozarks once again.

Temperatures and moisture will be on the rise today as southerly
winds bring Gulf moisture back towards the region, reaching
around 70. As the the storm system develops and moves across
northern Texas a warm front will begin to lift northward across
Arkansas.

The warm front will begin to move into the Ozarks later tonight
around or just before Midnight. This front will bring another
round of rain and scattered storms to the area.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 218 AM CDT Tue May 2 2017

Rain and scattered storms should be ongoing once again through
the day Wednesday and continue into early Thursday morning.
Current expectations with this system will be for an additional
1-3 inches of rainfall. There is some indication that the frontal
lift will act to enhance the QPF where CAPE is limited. This will
allow for some embedded thunderstorms which may produce rainfall
rates in excess of an inch per hour at times.

Despite the expectation of more stratiform rainfall with this
system, the antecedent saturated soil conditions, ongoing
flooding and terrain effects across the Ozarks would bring the
potential for flash flooding to occur. As a result a Flash Flood
Watch will be issued for all of the Missouri Ozarks and extreme
southeastern Kansas from 06z Wednesday through 12z Thursday.

The storm system will lift out of the region during the day
Thursday. A period of quiet and finally dry weather is then
expected from Thursday evening through the coming weekend.
Temperatures will be cool with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s
and the weather will be dry through Monday morning. A clipper type
system moves across mainly north central Missouri towards the
middle of next week but looks to quickly transition through the
area with light accumulations only noted in the models.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning)
Issued at 551 AM CDT Tue May 2 2017

Pilots can expect VFR conditions at area terminals today and this
evening. Mid and high level clouds will be on the increase
ahead of the next storm system. Lowering ceilings and increasing
chance of rain will return tonight after 06z through Wednesday
morning. MVFR ceilings and visibilities can be expected by
Wednesday morning.

&&

.SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MO...Flash Flood Watch from late tonight through Thursday morning for
     MOZ055>058-066>071-077>083-088>098-101>106.

551 AM CDT Tue May 2 2017

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of the Missouri
Ozarks and extreme southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  Elevated Flooding risk.
  Limited Lightning risk.

DISCUSSION...

Residual flooding will continue to impact travel across the
Missouri Ozarks through tonight. While the more flashy rivers have
crested, several of the slower responding rivers will continue
their slow crest. Refer to the Missouri Department of
Transportation travelers map for status updates on highways.
Secondary roads will also remain impacted until runoff ceases and
the larger basins drain.

Moderate to locally heavy rain and a few thunderstorms will move
back into the Ozarks late tonight. This may bring additional
flooding and flash flooding to the region.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

Moderate to locally heavy rain and a few thunderstorms will
continue to impact the Ozarks Wednesday through Thursday morning
leading to a renewed threat of flooding and flash flooding. One to
three inches of rain is expected. The combination of wet ground,
ongoing flooding and the Ozarks terrain may lead to flash flooding
across parts of the Ozarks as much of this rainfall will go
directly to runoff.

Residual flooding will likely persist for the remainder of the
week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
