$$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 Feb 24, 5:36 AM CST, 2 hours 10 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 24, 5:36 AM CST, 2 hours 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
536 AM CST Sat Feb 24 2018
.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 209 AM CST Sat Feb 24 2018
A band of moderate to occasionally heavy rain was moving across
the Ozarks this morning oriented nearly right along the I-44
corridor. Though instability is currently weak over the region,
some thunder was occuring with the bands of heaviest rainfall.
Rainfall rates with have been in the half to three quarter inch
per hour rate in the moderate to heavy bands.
The rain has also been aided by an upper level jet. This will
begin to lift north of the area through this morning. As it does,
the rain should begin to taper off or even stop for a time before
a surface low lifts north and moves across the Ozarks this
afternoon. This will bring the next round of rain and storms to
the area with moderate to heavy rainfall once again expected. The
current Flood Watch handles this well and will continue it as is
through tonight.
With the low lifting through the region this afternoon,
instability and lift will increase. This will bring with it the
potential for isolated strong to severe thunderstorms. The best
potential area will be across south central Missouri as a cold
front lifts through the region. The primary concern with any of
the strongest storms will be strong straight line winds, however
depending on the orientation of any line segments it may not be
out of the question that an isolated tornado might occur.
Confidence is rather low in this occuring though.
Once the surface low and cold front begin to move through the
area, it should progress fairly quickly. The rain should finally
move out of the region by midnight with high pressure filtering
into the area overnight.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 209 AM CST Sat Feb 24 2018
High pressure will control the region's weather Sunday and
through the start of next week. This will bring some much needed
days of sunshine to the area with temperatures climbing into the
lower 60s by Tuesday.
The models do bring another storm system through the area Tuesday
night into Wednesday with another surface low lifting across the
plains and through the Ozarks Wednesday night.
High pressure under a weak upper level ridge then moves over the
Plains and brings the next period of quiet weather to the area as
we head into next weekend.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning)
Issued at 530 AM CST Sat Feb 24 2018
The regions terminals may see a break from the rain this morning
though a few showers will likely linger across the area. Ceilings
will remain MVFR to IFR along with visibilities for the most
part. Additional showers and thunderstorms will impact the area
this afternoon and evening. Flight conditions are then expected to
improve after the 02-04z time frame as a cold front move through
the region.

Weather hazards expected... Limited tornado risk. Elevated thunderstorm wind damage risk. Limited flooding risk. Limited lightning risk. Elevated fog risk. DISCUSSION... Another round of moderate to locally heavy rainfall will spread through the area late this morning into this evening. The heaviest rainfall will be across southern Missouri. This additional rainfall occurring on already saturated grounds will lead to an additional risk for flooding of low water crossings and low lying spots, as rises on area creeks, streams, and rivers occur. Scattered thunderstorms will also develop as a cold front moves through the area. A few severe storms will be possible this afternoon and evening across primarily south-central Missouri. The primary concern with any severe storms will be damaging straight line winds. An isolated tornado may also be possible but not likely. Patchy dense fog may occur in low areas across extreme southern Missouri through early morning. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday. Scattered thunderstorm may be possible again towards the middle of next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight. && More detailed information can be accessed at: http://www.weather.gov/sgf/sitrep This product in graphical format...along with other weather... hydrological and climate information...at http://www.weather.gov/sgf Hatch
