What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Des Moines, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jul 28, 3:15 AM CDT, 6 hours 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 28, 3:15 AM CDT, 6 hours 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
315 AM CDT MON JUL 28 2008

.UPDATED 12Z/28 AVIATION DISCUSSION.

.SHORT TERM...TODAY
MUCH LIKE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...MAIN CONCERN REMAINS CONVECTIVE
TRENDS.  100+KT JET HAS EXITED GREAT LAKES HEADING TOWARD DELMARVA
AREA WHILE MCV ASSOCIATED WITH SUN MCS...NOW APPROACHING OH
VALLEY...IS MOVING ACROSS IL.  EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE LOST SOME OF OUR
KINEMATIC FORCING...THERMODYNAMICS AND HIGH INSTABILITY CONTINUE TO
DRIVE NW-SE ORIENTED MCS.  310K MOISTURE TRANSPORT/CONVERGENCE AND
STRONG FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING ARE ALLOWING MCS TO PERSIST REALIZING
1500-2000 J/KG ELEVATED CAPES.  EFFECTIVE SHEAR/SRH MORE THAN
ADEQUATE FOR ORGANIZATION AND LINGERING SVR THREAT...ALONG WITH
OBVIOUS HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING POTENTIAL.

QUESTION TURNS TO HOW THIS WILL PLAY OUT TODAY.  CERTAINLY NOT
PERFECT...BUT NAM SEEMS TO HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON TRENDS THIS
MORNING AND SUGGESTS MORE REDEVELOPMENT LATER TODAY.  EXPECT REPEAT
OF TODAY...QUESTION IS WHERE.  MLCAPES BECOME EXTREME AGAIN...4000+
J/KG WITH CIN ERODING BY AFTERNOON.  A LOT WILL DEPEND ON OUR
CURRENT MCS.  IF IT LINGERS THROUGH THE MORNING...NEW DEVELOPMENT
MAY BE OVER SWRN HALF OF FORECAST AREA.  HOWEVER NAM AND GFS TRY TO
DEVELOP LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE RIGHT IN CENTRAL IA...WHICH PROBABLY
WOULD NOT OCCUR UNLESS MCS FADES OR PUSHES TO THE S AND E.
CONFIDENCE NOT TOO GREAT IN EITHER DIRECTION AT THE MOMENT...SO HAVE
INTRODUCED RATHER BROAD CHANCE POPS FOR ENTIRE PERIOD.  DAY SHIFT
MAY VERY WELL NEED TO ISSUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH TOO ONCE FAVORED AREAS
BECOME APPARENT.

FATE OF MCS WILL HAVE A SIMILAR EFFECT ON TEMPS.  IF IT DISSIPATES
EARLY WE COULD GET HOT AGAIN.  PLAYED THE MIDDLE GROUND IN THIS
REGARD...MAINLY LEANING TOWARD PERSISTENCE.

.LONG TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
CURRENT WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER NEBRASKA TO NORTHERN MO WILL
CONTINUE TO SLOWLY LIFT NORTHEAST TNT OVER NORTHERN IA. WITH HIGH
LVL MOISTURE SITUATED ALONG THE BOUNDARY AT H850 AND LLVL MOISTURE
ALSO IN PLACE ACROSS IA...STAGE IS SET FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDER
ACROSS THE REGION TNT. MODELS CONTINUE TO HAVE TROUBLE HANDLING QPF
WHILE NAILING THE FORCING VERY WELL. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS SHOW AN
AREA OF INTENSIFYING THETAE ADVECTION ALONG THE FRONT OVERNIGHT TNT
WITH LLVL JET INCREASING ACROSS THE BOUNDARY. BEST CHANCES FOR ANY
HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE OVER NORTHERN IA...GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH
OF US 30...TNT 3HR FFG MOSAIC SHOWS THAT FAR NW COULD TAKE IN XS OF
3 INCHES IN 3 HOURS...THOUGH EAST OF I35 GUIDANCE LOWERS TO 1.5 TO
2.5 ON AVG. TNT CONVECTION BREAKING JUST EAST OF THE H700 +12C
ISOTHERM. TONIGHTS PLACEMENT OF THAT FEATURE PLACES GREATEST THREAT
FOR CONVECTION OVER NORTHERN IA AND PERHAPS AREAS JUST EAST OF I35
AS WELL...AS FAR SOUTH AS I80. SOME UNCERTAINTY REMAINS BUT IF TNTS
CONVECTION IS ANY INDICATION...SOME SOUTHWARD DRIFTING OF STORMS IS
LIKELY. NEXT COURSE IS OLD DOLLY. REMNANTS OF DOLLY CONTINUE TO
ADVECT NORTHEAST WITH TIME AND WAVE TO REACH THE FAR SOUTHERN IOWA
BY 00Z WED. MODELS CONTINUE TO TAKE THE SYSTEM NEARLY DUE EAST OVER
NORTHERN MO WITH LITTLE NORTHWARD PROPAGATION. GEM/EURO BLEEDING
SOME PRECIP OVER THE BORDER THROUGH EARLY WED AFTERNOON THEN WITH
SYSTEM EXITING THE AREA SHOULD SEE A BREAK ON WED AFTERNOON BEFORE
THE NEXT WAVE ARRIVES FOR WED NIGHT AND EARLY THURS. WITH CURRENT
HOT DOME SW OF THE AREA AND CONVECTION CONTINUING TO FIRE IN A
GENERALLY UNCAPPED ENVIRONMENT...MAX TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO BE LOWER
THAN GUIDANCE THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WHILE OVERNIGHT MINS WILL
RANGE FROM THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S.  EXTENDED PATTERN THROUGH
SUNDAY SHOWS LITTLE CHANGE AS GEM/EURO/GFS SUGGEST THE CLOSE
PROXIMITY OF CURRENT QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY OVER THE REGION.
CONFIDENCE ON EXACT LOCATION OF THE BOUNDARY IS LOW...GIVEN THE
POTENTIAL FOR A BACK DOOR GREAT LAKES HIGH TO MAINTAIN SOME DRYING
OVER THE GREAT LAKES BACK TOWARD IOWA. THE GFS...PER USUAL IS THE
FARTHEST EAST WITH THE PRECIP OVER THE WEEKEND WHILE THE EURO AND
GEM ARE NOT AS AGGRESSIVE WITH THE SYSTEM OVER CENTRAL IA. CURRENT
FCST IS DRY AND MAY NEED SOME ADJUSTMENT AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE
WEEKEND. TEMPS TO HOLD IN THE 80S TO NEAR 90 FOR HIGHS AND 60S FOR
LOWS.

&&

.AVIATION...28/12Z
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO BACKBUILD ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF IA
THIS MORNING. WARM FRONT AT THE SFC AND ALOFT WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR
MORE STORM DEVELOPMENT LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TNT. STORMS
EXPECTECD TO REFIRE FROM NEAR KFOD-KDSM-KOTM AFT 22Z THIS AFT AND
THEN DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHERN IA AFT 05Z. LOW CIGS NORTH THIS MORNING
WILL GO MVFR/VFR WITH MVFR/VFR CIGS LATER TODAY WITH NEW
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. EXPECT STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND LOW VSBYS
NEAR STORMS./REV
