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 28, 2:17 PM CST, 1 hour 13 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 317 PM CDT Sat Jun 28 2014 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Sunday) Issued at 304 PM CDT SAT JUN 28 2014 Expectations have not changed all that much regarding the severe and flooding potential for late this afternoon and this evening. The main show will be a line of thunderstorms currently approaching the MO/KS line. As a cold pool continues to become established along with the maturation of a rear inflow jet, we are expecting a severe straight line wind threat to persist towards the Highway 65 corridor into this evening. We will be monitoring any line surges towards the northeast for an enhanced straight line wind threat and brief mesovortex potential. Another concern we have for later tonight is this line eventually folding over and becoming orientated more west to east. If this happens, a flash flood threat may emerge. Current thinking is that this may happen more across northeastern Oklahoma and northern Arkansas, but it will be a close call. Storms should generally push out of the area by late tonight, but some lingering activity will remain possible into Sunday morning across southern Missouri. Most of Sunday then looks dry with rather warm and muggy conditions expected. With dew points in the lower 70s, we should see afternoon heat indices in the middle to upper 90s. .LONG TERM...(Sunday Night through Saturday) Issued at 304 PM CDT SAT JUN 28 2014 Hot and humid conditions are then expected into Monday as the upper level flow flattens out. Highs should warm into the lower 90s with afternoon heat indices potentially cracking the century mark across central Missouri. We will have to watch for MCS development across the Corn Belt Sunday night. There is the potential that this activity could graze central Missouri from late Sunday night into Monday morning. Medium range models then continue to advertise a strong upper level trough moving east across the northern tier of states from Monday into Tuesday. This trough should have no problem driving a front south into the Ozarks from Monday night into Tuesday. This will give us our next opportunity for showers and thunderstorms. These storms may linger into at least Wednesday as that front begins to stall out. At this time, it looks like the front may get just far enough south to clear the area by Thursday. We'll have to watch this closely with the 4th of July Holiday approaching. Temperatures behind this front will cool to slightly below normal values. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday Afternoon) Issued at 1200 PM CDT SAT JUN 28 2014 Strong high pressure over the southeastern United States is continuing to pump a warm and moist southerly flow of Gulf air northward over the area. An upper level disturbance approaching from the west will bring the chance of showers and thunderstorms to the area this afternoon and tonight. Expect a low stratus deck to form over the area later tonight as the atmosphere will be very moist at the lower levels and a nocturnal inversion will be in place. Included low level wind shear in the TAFS at all three locations later tonight as a low level southwesterly jet sets up. Low level stratus deck should dissipate by mid to late morning as daytime heating begins to set up. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
