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 Jan 3, 5:01 AM CST, 6 hours 32 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 3, 5:01 AM CST, 6 hours 32 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
501 AM CST SUN JAN 3 2010

.DISCUSSION...
/336 AM CST SUN JAN 3 2010/

THE MODELS ARE SHOWING NO RELIEF IN THE VERY COLD PATTERN ACROSS
THE REGION...WITH HI LATITUDE BLOCKING THRU GREENLAND INTO THE
NORTH ATLANTIC MAINTAINING A MEAN LONG WAVE TROF ACROSS THE ERN
CONUS THRU NEXT WEEKEND. THE RESULT IS A CONTINUATION OF BELOW TO
WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPS.

THRU TUES NIGHT...

THE SHORT WAVE TROF WITHIN NW FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PLAINS IN TANDEM WITH LOW LEVEL WAA AND FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING IS
PRODUCING A NICE BAND OF SNOW ACROSS PORTIONS OF WRN MO. METARS
SHOW THE SNOW HAS DEVELOPED AS FAR EAST AS A KMHL-KDMO LINE. LOCAL
RADARS FROM MID MO ARE SHOWING SOME PERIODIC WEAK RETURNS ACROSS
PORTIONS OF MONITEAU AND COLE COUNTIES. MUCH AS ANTICIPATED
PREVIOUSTLY...THE ADVECTION OF DRIER AIR VIA A NELY BOUNDARY LAYER
WIND IS INHIBITING MUCH EWD SPREAD. SEE NO REASON FOR ANY
IMMEDIATE CHANGE AND WILL CONTINUE WITH A MENTION OF LOW POPS AND
FLURRIES ALONG THE SW PERIPHERY OF THE CWA FROM BOONE TO REYNOLDS
COUNTY WITH MEASURABLE SNOWFALL PRIMARILY CONFINED TO AREAS
FURTHER WEST THIS MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. COLD HIGH PRESSURE
WILL REMAIN LOCKED ACROSS THE REGION TODAY AND THIS COMBINED WITH
CLOUDS SHOULD KEEP THE ARCTIC CHILL GOING STRONG. THIS BIG SURFACE
HIGH WILL BUILD SWD FROM THE UPR MS VLY THRU THE PLAINS AND
CONTINUE TO DOMINATE WELL INTO TUESDAY. TEMPS THRU THIS PERIOD ARE
VERY MUCH A GOOD DOSE OF PERSISTENCE BLENDED WITH THE COLDER MET
MOS. WIND CHILL VALUES AT NIGHT AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING WILL AT
TIMES DROP BELOW -15 ACROSS PORTIONS OF NE MO AND WEST CENTRAL IL.
ADVISORIES WILL MOST LIKELY BE NEEDED AND THE CONSENSUS WITH
SURROUNDING OFFICES IS TO DEFER THIS TO THE NEXT FORECAST PACKAGE.

WEDNESDAY THRU SAT...

THE PATTERN WILL BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED DURING THIS PERIOD WITH
UPPER RIDGING ALONG THE WESTERN NOAM COAST...WHICH WILL IN TURN
RESULT IN MORE DIGGING FOR THE NEXT NW FLOW SYSTEM. THE MODELS ARE
SHOWING A RATHER POTENT UPPER TROF/LOW MOVING FROM THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES ON WED INTO THE MID MS VLY ON THURS. THERE ARE SOME TIMING
AND PLACEMENT DIFFERENCES WITH RESPECT TO THE UPPER LOW PSN...BUT
THE ENVELOPE OF MODELS SOLUTIONS BRING THE TRACK THRU MO.
SYNOPTICALLY THIS TRACK WOULD FAVOR A HIGH PROBABILITY OF
ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL AND AS A RESULT HAVE BOOSTED POPS IN THE WED
NIGHT-THURS TIME FRAME. ADVISORY TYPE CRITERIA SNOWFALL CERTAINLY
APPEARS POSSIBLE GIVEN THE CONSENSUS OF CURRENT SOLUTIONS...HOWEVER
THIS COULD CHANGE FOR THE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE AS WE PROGRESS
TOWARDS MID WEEK. IN THE WAKE OF THIS TROF/UPPER LOW...ANOTHER
BLAST OF VERY COLD AIR FOR LATE THURS INTO SAT.
