What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jul 7, 11:33 PM CDT, 2 hours 12 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 7, 11:33 PM CDT, 2 hours 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
1133 PM CDT Fri Jul 7 2017

.SHORT TERM...(tonight through Saturday)
Issued at 245 PM CDT Fri Jul 7 2017

Weak frontal boundary will move southward through southern
Missouri into this evening. Front will not be strong enough to
induce widespread upward motion but expect to see at least
isolated convection as boundary layer further warms. Questions
arise in whether the convection will be strictly diurnal in nature
as model ensembles suggest convection will last into the night as
H8 front moves slowly through. Given heat induced
instability...some stronger storms will be possible including
isolated damaging wind.

Seasonably warm yet noticeably more mild temperatures are then
expected on Saturday as a modified Canadian air mass moves through
the region.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 245 PM CDT Fri Jul 7 2017

Pops will be a tad higher on Sunday as high departs setting up
modest return flow...otherwise expect only isolated diurnal
thunderstorm chances through the coming week as the ridge flattens
across the Central Plains.

Temperatures will warm under this dome driving afternoon heat
indices upward to around 100 daily.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night)
Issued at 1039 PM CDT Fri Jul 7 2017

Pilots can expect prevailing VFR conditions at area terminals tonight
through Saturday as a front moves south of the area. Some patchy
light fog or haze will be possible early Saturday morning.
