What 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.

There is also a low chance for a tornado or two. The greatest threat has expanded northwest slightly to areas along and south of a line from Pittsburg, KS to Warsaw, MO.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 1252 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - Enhanced Risk (level 3 out of 5) for severe storms this afternoon into the evening. Hail up to the size of baseballs and damaging wind gusts up to 60-70 mph are possible. There is also a low chance for a tornado or two. The greatest threat has expanded northwest slightly to areas along and south of a line from Pittsburg, KS to Warsaw, MO. - Generally dry weather through the remainder of the period. Some near freezing to sub freezing temperatures possible Monday morning and Tuesday morning. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... Issued at 1200 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 Messaging remains largely on point for the severe weather event today. There is a slight northward expansion of the severe threat. We were messaging along and south of I-44 for the greatest threat, but that is now along and south of a line from Pittsburg, KS to Warsaw, MO. Still looking at destructive hail to the size of baseballs and gusts up to 60-70 mph in the strongest storms this afternoon and evening. The tornado threat is small and very conditional on storms becoming rooted to lingering outflow boundaries. The area continues to rapidly destabilize early this afternoon, with noon SBCAPE analyzed at 2,500-3,500 J/kg over much of the area. SBCAPE should increase further to 3,000-4,000 J/kg over the next few hours. Effective shear values are gradually trending down, as expected with the decrease of the LLJ, and should be in the 40-60kt range this afternoon and evening. Nearly unidirectional shear profiles support discrete cells growing upscale, as can be seen over Oklahoma right now. Expectation is for storms to move in from the southwest while also developing over the area early this afternoon. As previously stated, the main threat is for hail and damaging winds. The tornado threat is very conditional. There is an outflow boundary that is becoming increasingly washed out over the far northeastern CWA (Rolla to Lake of the Ozarks region). As the boundary washes out and shifts north, it will be less of a player for our area, but could still lead to some storm enhancement. If any ideal boundary interactions occur, a low end chance for tornadoes would exist. The severe threat will end by late evening as a cold front moves through from the northwest. Friday will see much cooler conditions with highs in the mid 50s to low 60s and gradually clearing skies. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Issued at 1200 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 With attention on the short term and no actionable targets of opportunity, no changes were made to the NBM initialization in the long term. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/... Issued at 1200 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 Showers and thunderstorms will develop and moves through the area this afternoon and evening, likely impacting all sites. The strongest storms will be capable of destructive hail to the size of baseballs and damaging winds of 60-70 mph. A cold front will move through this evening, bringing an end to the thunderstorm threat, but bringing in IFR to MVFR ceilings into Friday morning. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...None.
