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 Nov 26, 5:12 AM CST, 7 hours 33 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 512 AM CST Sun Nov 26 2017 ...Aviation Forecaster... .SHORT TERM...(Today through Monday) Issued at 220 AM CST Sun Nov 26 2017 Thicknesses to build in the short term as a southwest to northeast orientated upper ridge advects into the Central Plains while shortwave energy digs across the Rockies. Locally...surface high pressure will result in plenty of sun and light winds today making for a pleasant day with high temperatures rising a few degrees over yesterday. Still warmer weather is then in store for Monday as the surface high shifts east...winds become south and then become gusty as the pressure gradient increases ahead of the digging wave. Wildfire concerns will be noted on Monday as dew points will be slower to recover than temperatures. Small diameter fuels have dropped into the teens to single digits and another windy day with humidities in the 30s or even lower will exasperate the situation. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday) Issued at 220 AM CST Sun Nov 26 2017 Medium range models are in general agreement in closing off the wave over the Central Plains on Tuesday...tracking this system into northern Arkansas Wednesday. As this is occurring...models advertise another digging shortwave over the Rockies that will track into the Plains Wednesday into Thursday. GFS and ECM have lost their continuity at this point lowering forecast confidence. Expect better rain chances to occur with the first system over the southern sections of the forecast area...and then over the eastern Ozarks with the second system as the best 925-850 Theta E flow offers somewhat better advection into that section of the forecast area. These systems will knock temperatures back to seasonable cool normals through midweek followed by a slow warming trend into the weekend as heights slowly build. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday morning) Issued at 512 AM CST Sun Nov 26 2017 A weak shortwave will general some upper level cloudiness but high pressure at the service will continue the expanded period of VFR conditions. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
