The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jun 20, 1:55 PM CST, 1 hour 5 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 255 PM CDT Fri Jun 20 2014 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Sunday) Issued at 245 PM CDT FRI JUN 20 2014 Some isolated showers and thunderstorms have developed with very subtle upper level features, one over southeast OK into western AR and the other over eastern KS. Any precip is greatly diurnally driven and is expected to diminish this evening. Saturday/Sunday look to be near copies of today. Overall, can't rule out some diurnally driven clusters of showers/thunderstorms with a somewhat better chance Sunday versus Saturday with lowering mid level heights. .LONG TERM...(Sunday Night through Friday) Issued at 245 PM CDT FRI JUN 20 2014 Guidance has been consistent in bringing a shortwave and associated front through the region Monday/Monday night. Timing may be slightly slower with 12z guidance but not significantly so. This period looks to be the best overall clearly defined chance for precip during this period. In general, medium range guidance keeps upper level subtropical ridging suppressed to the south through midweek but there is no clear consensus as to where low level baroclinic zones/fronts and individual shortwaves will set up. By late in the week, larger scale differences in guidance emerge. In general, a blend of guidance yields typical small convective rain chances, but nothing you can really hang your hat on in terms of timing. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday Afternoon) Issued at 1211 PM CDT FRI JUN 20 2014 VFR conditions are expected across the entire area during the forecast period. Isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible along the Missouri-Arkansas border but confidence is not high enough to include in the KBBG TAF at this time. Expect primarily southwest winds during the day backing to more southerly direction during the overnight hours. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
