The episode as NWS SGF wrote it up.
Another MCS that developed over northern Missouri moved southeast into the Ozarks. This system brought rain to the western half of the area during the early morning and scattered storms to locations along and south of Interstate 44 during the afternoon and early evening. Most locations received between one half inch and one inch of rain, with locations near Cassville receiving over three inches. This led to flash flooding in the town of Cassville. Isolated severe weather was reported with this storms system across the Ozarks.
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 26, 1:21 AM CST, 1 hour 27 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 221 AM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) An MCS has made it into extreme southeast Kansas and western Missouri this morning. None of the models had this feature moving this far southeast, and forecasting it's evolution through the morning will be the primary forecast challenge this morning. There are some indications of an MCV in this convective system, which may help it to continue across southwest Missouri and into northern Arkansas this morning. If the system stalls, then excessive rain will be possible in basins that definitely do not need anymore rain. There is also a hail and wind risk, as mixed layer capes are still running at 2500 to 3000 j/kg. So monitoring this ongoing convective complex will be the priority this morning. For today, we think the rain will end sometime this morning, and set the stage for warm and muggy conditions. Look for temperatures to warm into the upper 80s in most locations. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) For the Thursday through Tuesday time frame, medium range models suggest that a summertime ridge will build strong across the western and central Plains. The Ozarks will be positioned on the northeast or east periphery of this feature. This will bring warm temperatures, although I'm not sure if enough atmospheric suppression from the ridge will completely eliminate precip chances. As a matter of fact, scattered precipitation chances are likely in multiple periods late in the week and early next week. Temperatures will be consistent in the upper 80s and lower 90s. While dew points run in the upper 60s and lower 70s, heat index values will range from the middle 90s to low 100s on an afternoon basis. Still no indications that we will need a heat advisory at this time. The GFS suggests that risk for both nocturnal convection and afternoon pulsers will increase early next week as high pwats and low inhibition spread through our airmass. Will need to watch for heavy downpours and severe pulsers next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night) Issued at 1155 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2019 Currently watching a complex of storms over northeast into central Kansas. Short term models are struggling with its evolution over the next few hours. But current indications are for back building storms over central Kansas to become the main player and to dive more south than southeast. Cannot rule out some residual activity holding together to make it the KJLN terminal, but confidence is rather low on this. Otherwise, VFR conditions expected through the TAF period, with some diurnal cumulus expected on Wednesday. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
