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 12, 1:36 PM CST, 2 hours 4 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 236 PM CDT Thu Jun 12 2014 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Saturday Night) Issued at 240 PM CDT THU JUN 12 2014 An upper level disturbance is currently pushing east across the region this afternoon as a cold front also slides southeast across the area. An area of showers is pushing east across central Missouri which is associated with the upper level disturbance. Additional showers and thunderstorms pushed across portions of central Missouri this morning into early this afternoon, but this activity is pushing off to the east and out of the area. As the cold front pushes through the area, additional isolated to scattered showers and maybe a few thunderstorms will be possible. Instability is on the weak side so no severe weather is expected. This activity will push east of the area during the early evening hours. A drier airmass will settle into the region tonight behind the front, which will allow lows to fall well into the 50s tonight. With the drier airmass moving over the region, widespread fog development is not expected tonight, however fog near lakes will be possible overnight into early Friday morning. A nice day is shaping up for Friday as highs top out in the upper 70s to around 80 degrees with fairly dry conditions or non-humid air mass and sunny skies. An upper level ridge will spread east over the central U.S. by Saturday with temperatures warming into the 80s on Saturday. Another upper level disturbance and cold front will push across the plains and towards the region late Saturday night and could bring the potential for a few showers and a storm or two to the far northwestern portions of the forecast area late Saturday night, but the better chances for showers and thunderstorms with this system will hold off until Sunday, which will be discussed in the Long Term section below. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Thursday) Issued at 240 PM CDT THU JUN 12 2014 An upper level low tracking eastward across the northern Plains States into Western Ontario and its associated trof moving northeastward out of the Rockies will push a surface front southward into southern Missouri later on Sunday into Monday. Both the GFS and ECMWF are in general agreement with this front stalling over or near the area as upper level support tracks well to the northeast of the area. With ample Gulf moisture streaming northward and afternoon cape values running close to 4000(J/Kg) for both Surface based an Most Unstable (MU) cape... periods of heavier shower and thunderstorm activity is nearly a given. Present QPF values for this time frame are running between one and one and a half inches. However...given the strong Gulf moisture flow and the potential for locally heavier rainfall near the boundary from this decaying front...we will monitor for any potential flooding as ground conditions are already saturated. With weak upper level dynamic support and 0km to 6km bulk shear values generally running less than 25 kts...the likelihood of severe storm potential appears relatively low at this point. From later Tuesday into early Wednesday a subtropical upper ridge building northward into the Central CONUS will bring a return to seasonably normal highs and mostly dry conditions to the area. For the end of the forecast cycle...Wednesday to Thursday time frame...the GFS and ECMWF solutions differ notably with the GFS maintaining the upper ridge over the lower and central Mississippi valley and the ECMWF pushing a strong upper trof southward. In either case...there will be a change of some shower or thunderstorm activity over the area. It is just a question on exactly how the large scale pattern sets up in the long term. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday Afternoon) Issued at 1154 AM CDT THU JUN 12 2014 Convection associated with the MCS remnants has shifted east of the aviation forecast points late this morning. While the actual cold front was still to the west of the area in Kansas, not confident in widespread rain chances with the front as it moves into the area and have kept out of the TAFS for now. Could see some low end MVFR conditions for a few hours this afternoon as lower clouds are expected. VFR conditions expected everywhere by mid evening behind the cold front as drier air mass moves in. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
