What forecasters said that day
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 1, 5:36 PM CST, 17 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 1, 5:36 PM CST, 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 636 PM CDT Thu Jun 1 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 217 PM CDT Thu Jun 1 2017 A boundary left over from morning convection was from near Fayetteville, AR into southern Oregon county. A few showers/storms have redeveloped along this boundary as the instability increased this afternoon. Other remnant shower activity from earlier up in central MO has just about completely dissipated. Main forecast focus will be with scattered convection into the early evening, then again later on Friday into the weekend. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 217 PM CDT Thu Jun 1 2017 Certainly not as active today with storms over the area. Instability has increased this afternoon in the wake of the diminishing convection from early this morning, but remnant boundary was mainly to our south, just barely extending into our far eastern most county. Will have to monitor convection developing in better instability near Topeka, but not expecting as much organization as past couple of days with much lower 0-6 bulk shear. Any convection that develops should end early this evening. A dry period is then expected through much of the morning Friday, but we could again see some scattered storms develop during the afternoon hours with increasing instability. Not expecting any organized or severe storms during this short term period. .LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday) Issued at 217 PM CDT Thu Jun 1 2017 Additional convection is expected over the weekend as a main shortwave tracks southeast out of the upper Mississippi valley region into the Ohio valley. Peak heating hours will offer the best chances for storm coverage, but severe weather chances look to be on the low side. We should go into a drier period from Monday into Wednesday of next week in the wake of the main shortwave trough. Temperatures should be seasonal to slightly above normal with highs in the low to mid 80s. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening) Issued at 666 PM CDT Thu Jun 1 2017 Outflow from storms over northern Arkansas has initiated widely scattered storms across southern Missouri late this afternoon. These may affect the KBBG and KSGF terminals over the next few hours before dissipating. VFR conditions expected outside of thunderstorms, with MVFR/IFR conditions within the storms themselves. With daytime heating on Friday afternoon, more isolated to scattered storms are expected, but confidence not high enough of impacting the terminals to include in the TAFs at this time. Some of the short term models are indicating some fog potential late tonight across far southern Missouri, which is quite plausible given light low level winds and recent rains. Have introduced a tempo group for lower MVFR visibilities at KBBG between 09Z-13Z. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
