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 Duluth, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 9, 7:27 AM CDT, 3 hours 30 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 9, 7:27 AM CDT, 3 hours 30 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DULUTH MN
727 AM CDT SAT APR 9 2011

.AVIATION.../12Z TAF ISSUANCE/
MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHWARD INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST
THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD. CIGS AND VSBYS WILL DETERIORATE FOR A
TIME THIS MORNING BEFORE IMPROVING A BIT DURING THE DAYTIME
HEATING PERIOD TODAY. AS NIGHT FALLS...LOOK FOR CIGS/VSBYS TO ONCE
AGAIN LOWER AND REDUCE WITH MVFR AND IFR BECOMING COMMON.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 415 AM CDT SAT APR 9 2011/

DISCUSSION...
MAIN CONCERNS IN THE SHORT TERM ARE FOCUSED AROUND THE CONVECTIVE
SITUATION EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST AND IMPACT
AREAS OF THE NORTHLAND TONIGHT...AND AGAIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.

A POSITIVELY TILTED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND CLOSED LOW AT 500MB
WILL PUSH INTO THE WEST-CENTRAL PLAINS...JUST EAST OF THE
ROCKIES...LATER TODAY. A RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING SFC LOW WILL DEVELOP
JUST EAST OF THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS...OVER WRN NEBRASKA THIS
AFTERNOON AND MOVE INTO NW IA/SW MN TONIGHT. A STRONG LLJ IS
EXPECTED TO FORM ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE LOW AND DRAW UP A RICH
SUPPLY OF MOIST UNSTABLE AIR FROM THE SOUTH AND CAUSE CONVECTION
TO DEVELOP ALONG THE WARM FRONT ORIENTED FROM SRN MN INTO SRN WI.
THEN...AS THE LOW TRACKS SLOWLY TO THE ENE...THIS BAND OF
CONVECTION WILL PUSH OFF TO THE NORTH AND EAST INTO PARTS OF THE
NORTHLAND DURING LATE SAT EVENING AND THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
ONCE THE SHOWERS AND STORMS REACH OUR AREA MOST OF THEM SHOULD BE
ELEVATED...AND HAVE WEAKENED SLIGHTLY SINCE INITIATION IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS FURTHER TO THE SOUTH. THE DAY ONE CONVECTIVE
OUTLOOK FROM SPC HIGHLIGHTS THE DETAILS OF THIS EARLY CONVECTION
WELL. THINKING THE 06-12Z SUNDAY TIMEFRAME IN OUR AREA WILL BE THE
BEST TIME FOR THE FIRST ROUND OF SEVERE T-STORMS...HAIL BEING THE
MAIN THREAT...WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...STRONG WINDS...AND
LIGHTNING BEING THE OTHER CONCERNS.

AS THE SFC LOW DEEPENS AND CONTINUES TO MOVE TO THE ENE ON SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...CONDITIONS COULD DRY OUT BRIEFLY BEFORE THE NEXT
SERIES OF CONVECTIVE STORMS FIRE UP ALONG THE INSTABILITY
AXIS...JUST EAST OF THE CENTER OF THE SFC LOW ALONG THE WARM
FRONT. THE UPPER LOW WILL CATCH UP WITH THE SFC LOW AND SUPPLEMENT
THE FORCING DURING THE AFTERNOON. WITH THE WARM...UNSTABLE AIR
SLIGHTLY FURTHER TO THE EAST...EXPECT MOST OF THE STORMS TO BE
CONFINED TO THE SERN THIRD OF THE CWA. MN COUNTIES BORDERING WI
AND THE WI COUNTIES WILL BE IN THE GREATEST RISK AREA DURING THIS
TIME. CONCERNS WITH SEVERE IMPACTS IN THE AFTERNOON WILL BE
TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS. WILL ALSO HAVE TO WATCH
THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING IF A SERIES OF STORMS DROP DOWN A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PRECIP IN A SHORT TIME FRAME. WILL ALSO HAVE
TO SEE HOW MUCH RAIN FALLS DURING THE EARLY MORNING. CHECK THE DAY
2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK FROM SPC FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

EXTENDED...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...
THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD WILL BE FAIRLY VOLATILE...AS STRONG
TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE ONGOING AT THE START OF THE PERIOD
OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA. SPC HAS A GOOD HANDLE ON THE
DAY2 RISK OVER MAINLY THE SE HALF TO 1/3 OF THE CWA. THE 00Z
MODELS DIFFER CONSIDERABLY WITH REGARD TO SURFACE LOW
POSITION...BUT GENERALLY HAVE IT OVER MN. THINK THE ECMWF POSITION
OFFERS A GOOD COMPROMISE SOLUTION. THE AIR OVER THE SE PART OF THE
CWA WILL BE QUITE MILD AT THE START OF THE PERIOD...WITH NORTHERLY
WINDS BRINGING COLDER WEATHER TO THE NW PART OF THE CWA. AS SUNDAY
NIGHT WEARS ON...THE WRAP AROUND PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
EAST ACROSS THE CWA. HAVE RAISED POPS ACROSS THE BOARD FOR SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY...AS IT LOOKS LIKE HIGH POPS WARRANTED. UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS MN/WI ON
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...WITH A COLD FRONT ORGANIZING AND MOVING
SLOWLY THROUGH THE CWA TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
EXTENDED PERIOD. THE MODELS DIFFER IN DEPICTING WHERE THE FRONT
WILL STALL AND THE RESULTANT IMPACT ON OVERALL QPF AND POPS...BUT
ALL GENERALLY AGREE ON SOMEWHERE IN THE MN/WI AREA.

AVIATION...06Z TAF ISSUANCE...
VFR CONDITIONS UNDER A SCATTERED TO BROKEN MID DECK ACROSS MOST
OF THE AREA...WITH AREAS OF MVFR CONDITIONS IN THE RAINY RIVER
VALLEY OVERNIGHT...WILL REMAIN ALL MVFR SATURDAY. AREAS OF MVFR
CONDITIONS IN RAIN WILL SPREAD ACROSS NORTHEAST MINNESOTA SATURDAY
NIGHT.
