PerezWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 10, 3:37 PM CDT, 1 hour 43 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 10, 3:37 PM CDT, 1 hour 43 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 337 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 222 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020 We're seeing a few areas of storm activity developing or approaching the forecast area this afternoon. The strongest cluster of storms are currently approaching Benton/Morgan counties and have a history of producing wind damage. Another area over northeast Oklahoma will likely intensify as it moves into southeast Kansas within the next two to three hours. A third area is developing over south central Missouri but seems to be struggling for now. The airmass over the forecast area is extremely unstable with CAPEs of 4000-5000 j/kg. However bulk shear is marginal over much of the area and this will limit storm organization. So mainly expecting strong to severe wind gusts to be the main threat as updrafts develop quickly and collapse. Remnant outflow boundaries and an approaching cold front will keep storm potential going through the evening and overnight hours and into Tuesday morning. May also get some additional boost in storm activity later in the evening with low level jet interaction. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday Night through Monday) Issued at 222 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020 Will keep storm chances going through the week as the front stalls over the region and interacts with the persistent moist and unstable airmass and outflow boundaries over the region. Due to increased expected cloud cover, afternoon temperatures should average a few degrees cooler than today. Late in the week and into the weekend we expect the upper ridge over the south central US to gradually build westward as an upper level trough deepen over the upper Midwest. This will allow a cooler Canadian airmass to move southward across the Plains behind a cold front sometime between Saturday and Sunday. Will continue to watch the forecast trends but for now expect highs in the 80s on Monday. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon) Issued at 1205 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020 Storms that are currently north and west of the TAF sites will gradually spread into the region late this afternoon and into the evening as a cold front and associated outflows move into the region. Currently have vicinity and prob30 for storms through Tuesday morning and expect some fine tuning of timing for the 0Z issuance. The front is expected to stall along or north of I-44 Tuesday and will provide a focus for storms after 18Z Tuesday. Overall expect Branson to have lower chances than Springfield and Joplin since they are further from the front and have stronger capping. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
