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 17, 6:31 AM CDT, 51 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 17, 6:31 AM CDT, 51 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
631 AM CDT Sun May 17 2020

...12Z AVIATION UPDATE...

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 208 AM CDT Sun May 17 2020

Widespread rainfall continues early this morning along and
southeast of Interstate 44 as plenty of lift and moisture streams
across the area. The energy across western Arkansas will continue
to become more sheared as it moves east/northeast, with a sharp
cutoff to the precip on the far northwest side of the precip
shield. The area of most concern for flooding will continue to be
generally southeast of I-44 through the early morning hours where
additional 1-3 inches of rain will occur across already saturated
soils, leading to almost 100% runoff. The Flash Flood Watch will
remain in effect. Only weak instability exists therefore lightning
will be limited with most places not experiencing any.

The rain will begin to move slowly more east and out of south
central Missouri by late afternoon or early evening, locations
further west should see precip end by mid day to early afternoon.
Winds will become northwesterly and gusty this afternoon however
temps will likely approach 70 by late afternoon/early evening.

While skies may clear briefly this evening as drier mid/upper
level moves in, low level clouds/moisture will return overnight
from the north as energy moves down from Iowa. Some patchy fog
will also be possible however wind speeds may stay up enough to
keep it from becoming dense. Temps will likely fall to near 50.

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 208 AM CDT Sun May 17 2020

The upper level low will drop sse along the Mississippi River
during the day Monday, therefore northwest winds and ample low
level clouds will linger most if not all day. Enough lift and
moisture in the low levels, combined with a favorable northwest
wind intersecting the plateau will likely contribute to drizzle or
light rain showers at times during the day, most likely across
central Missouri and the eastern Ozarks. Highs will be kept down
in the lower 60s at most locations.

A blocking pattern looks likely across the CONUS for the remainder
of the week with a large cut off low remaining across the
Tennessee and Ohio valleys and another low across the west.
Therefore we should see temperatures warm some each day with 70s
likely Tuesday through Thursday and then 80s possible Friday and
Saturday.

There could be enough weakness in the pattern by late Thursday
and Friday for some slight chances of showers and storms however
slightly higher chances hold off until the weekend as southwest
flow attempts to redevelop across the area.
