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 St. Louis, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jul 30, 12:30 PM CDT, 1 hour 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 30, 12:30 PM CDT, 1 hour 25 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
1230 PM CDT WED JUL 30 2008

.DISCUSSION...
/332 AM CDT WED JUL 30 2008/
PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE RAIN/FLOODING THREAT FOR
THE NEXT 24-36 HOURS AS DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE AND SHORTWAVE ENERGY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF DOLLY PUSH EASTWARD ACROSS THE
MIDWEST.  AM NOT PLANNING ANY CHANGES TO FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT THIS
JUNCTURE EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS THAT THE MAIN THRUST OF THE HEAVY
RAIN WILL PROBABLY MISS THE NORTHERN-MOST COUNTIES IN THE WATCH.
PRECIP PATTERN HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO FORECAST AT BEST...AND IM NOT
CONFIDENT ENOUGH THAT IT WONT RAIN HEAVILY ENOUGH TO CAUSE PROBLEMS
UP THERE BEFORE THE WATCH EXPIRES.  THOUGHT ABOUT EXPANDING THE
WATCH FURTHER SOUTH FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT...BUT CONVECTION OVER
SOUTHWEST MO/SOUTHEAST KANSAS LOOKS TO BE WEAKENING AT THIS
TIME...AND THERES STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY IN MY MIND AS TO HOW
THIS WILL ALL WORK OUT.  WHILE RAIN CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKELY OVER
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...HEAVY RAIN IS NOT AS CERTAIN...AND
FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE LEVELS ARE UP TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR OR MORE IN
SOME SPOTS OUTSIDE THE CURRENT WATCH AREA IN SOUTHEAST AND EAST
CENTRAL MISSOURI.  OPERATIONAL MODELS CONTINUE IN DECENT AGREEMENT
WITH MOVING DYNAMICAL LIFT AWAY FROM THE AREA BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON
SO HAVE BROUGHT THE RAIN TO AN END BY 00Z FRIDAY.

HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS STILL LOOK LIKELY THIS WEEKEND AS AN UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE AREA.  HAVE MADE VERY FEW CHANGES OT IN
THAT RANGE AS PREVIOUS FORECAST TRENDS STILL LOOK VERY GOOD.

.AVIATION...
/1225 PM CDT WED JUL 30 2008/
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...

REMNANTS OF DOLLY/LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
EAST/SOUTHEAST FROM NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...WITH SHOWERS AFFECTING
KCOU...KSTL AND KSUS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HAVE NOT INCLUDED
THUNDER IN THE TAFS BECAUSE EFFECTIVE BOUNDARY HAS SETTLED ACROSS
SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS. CEILINGS WILL VARY GREATLY WITH
IFR EXPECTED IN STEADY STRATIFORM RAIN SHIELD. IF CLOUDS CAN CLEAR
OUT TONIGHT ACROSS THE NORTH...FOG WILL CERTAINLY BE POSSIBLE
