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 May 20, 3:05 PM CDT, 1 hour 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 20, 3:05 PM CDT, 1 hour 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 305 PM CDT Sun May 20 2018 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 158 PM CDT Sun May 20 2018 In a bit of a lull right now with morning convection having stabilized conditions. Convection is firing along a distinct outflow boundary over northeast AR. The boundary becomes less distinct has farther to west into NW AR. Another shortwave that extends form south central KS into central OK will shift northeast with lift increasing over the area, especially the western cwfa late this afternoon and this early this evening. MLCAPE values off the HRRR reach 1000-1500 j/kg with around 30kts 0-6km bulk shear which would support multicell or possibly supercells with a large hail and damaging wind risk for a few hours before the wave lifts off to the northeast. Questions still consist of how long convection will linger into the eastern counties overnight. Have raised rain chances using a blend of cams/short term guidance. In general, Monday looks more quiet with weak mid level height rises. .LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday) Issued at 158 PM CDT Sun May 20 2018 Mid level shortwave ridging and height rises are expected through midweek as an upstream closed upper low moves into the western CONUS. Can't rule out some diurnally driven isolated pulse convection through midweek, but coverage looks limited. The western upper trough opens up and lifts well northwest of the area. Late in the week a blocking upper level pattern develops with a slow moving upper low moving north out of the Gulf of Mexico and another moving east from the western CONUS. Chaotic upper level flow doesn't generate much confidence in the forecast. May see an uptick in diurnal convection late in the period, but no major systems are expected. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday morning) Issued at 636 AM CDT Sun May 20 2018 KSGF/KJLN/KBBG tafs: An upper level disturbance will move northeast from OK with scattered thunderstorms developing or moving into the area late this afternoon (toward 22z). Have tempo groups for the most likely time frame. Guidance shows chances for lower ceilings (IFR or low end MVFR ceilings) for a few hours toward 12z. Outside of thunderstorms, winds will generally be light. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. && SHORT TERM...DSA LONG TERM...DSA AVIATION...Burchfield
