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 Sioux Falls, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Mar 20, 8:36 PM CDT, 17 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 20, 8:36 PM CDT, 17 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
836 PM CDT SUN MAR 20 2011

.DISCUSSION...
PLENTY OF HIGH CLOUDS STREAMING ACROSS THE CWA AND CHANGED SKY GRIDS
TO MOSTLY CLOUDY FOR TONMIGHT. WITH MORE CLOUDS EXPECTED...ALSO
BUMPED UP TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES AND ALSO BACKED OFF ON FOG TO
JUST PATCHY LATER TONIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH 06Z...HOWEVER
THEREAFTER...RADIATIONAL FOG MAY DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION WITH
LIGHT EASTERLY WINDS DEVELOPING. ANY FOG THAT DEVELOPS IS EXPECTED
TO DISSIPATE BY 16Z AS EASTERLY WINDS INCREASE AHEAD OF THE NEXT
STORM SYSTEM THAT WILL BRING PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT
AND BEYOND.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
DRY WESTERLY FLOW SCOURING OUT LOW CLOUDS AND STRATUS THIS
AFTERNOON. BY THIS EVENING SKIES WILL BE CLEAR ALTHOUGH CIRRUS WILL
BEGIN TO SPREAD NORTH OUT OF NEBRASKA. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL
MOSTLY BE IN THE 30S. COOLEST READINGS WILL BE FOUND OVER HIGHER
ELEVATIONS WHERE REMAINING SNOW PACK EXITS...AND IN THE NORTH WHERE
SKIES WILL REMAIN CLEAR THE LONGEST TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE
EAST ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. LIGHT WINDS MAY ALLOW FOR THE
FORMATION OF RADIATION FOG AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT OVERALL FOG THREAT
WILL BE MITIGATED BY INCREASING MID AND HIGH CLOUDS LATER TONIGHT.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE
AREA...ALLOWING AN EAST WIND TO GRADUALLY INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE MILD...BUT WITH CLOUD COVER AND THE INCREASING
WIND HIGHS SHOULD RANGE FROM THE UPPER 40S IN SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA TO
NEAR 60 AROUND SIOUX CITY. WILL KEEP THE SMALL CHANCE FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND SIOUX CITY AND STORM LAKE LATE MONDAY
AFTERNOON AS MOISTURE SURGES NORTH.

MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY LOOKING VERY INTERESTING ACROSS THE
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS. A STRONG SHORT WAVE WILL DIG INTO THE
ROCKIES ON MONDAY WITH STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
AHEAD ACROSS THE PLAINS. AT THIS TIME LOOKING LIKE TWO CONCERNS. THE
FIRST WILL BE ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL
JET CRANKS UP ACROSS NEBRASKA AND CONVERGES ON SOUTHEASTERN SOUTH
DAKOTA FROM ABOUT 3Z TO 9Z. ELEVATED CAPE VALUES CENTERED AROUND
850MB CLIMB TO ABOUT 1000 J/KG WITH LIFTED INDICES DROPPING TO
AROUND -5 DEGREES C. THE EFFECTIVE SHEAR ALSO SHOWS POTENTIAL WITH
GOOD TURNING FROM AROUND 850MB TO 700MB...THEN A STEADILY INCREASING
UNIDIRECTIONAL WEST SOUTHWEST WIND ABOVE. THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO
BRING A THREAT FOR SEVERE HAIL...POSSIBLY AS LARGE AS HALF DOLLARS.
AFTER THIS THE DETAILS BECOME MUCH MORE IMPORTANT AND MUCH MORE
DIFFICULT TO WORK THROUGH. BY LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON A SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE WILL LIKELY BE SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SURFACE OR NEAR SURFACE BASED CONVECTION TO
DEVELOP AHEAD. CURRENTLY THE 12Z NAM IS THE SLOWEST AND WOULD GIVE
THE BEST POTENTIAL TO PARTS OF NORTHWEST IOWA WHILE THE ECMWF/GFS
AND SREF ARE A LITTLE QUICKER AND WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY KEEP THE
BEST THREAT TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AREA. WILL GO THIS ROUTE
FOR NOW IN KEEPING BETTER CHANCES FOR SURFACE BASED THUNDERSTORMS TO
THE SOUTH AND EAST.

TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WILL SEE COOLER AND DRIER AIR FILTER
INTO THE REGION WITH THE BETTER CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION TO THE
NORTH AND EAST OF THE AREA. WILL KEEP A CHANCE FOR RAIN OR SNOW
ALONG THE NORTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES OTHERWISE JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE
FOR LIGHT RAIN TOWARD INTERSTATE 90.

IN THE LATTER PERIODS(THU/SUN)...LOOKING LIKE A MAINLY DRY AND COLD
PERIOD WITH TEMPERATURES MORE REMINISCENT OF MID TO LATE FEBRUARY.
OUTSIDE OF THE 6Z GFS...MODELS CONTINUE TO AGREE UPON LOCKING IN A
COLD SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST OF THE AREA
WHICH WILL KEEP A NORTHEAST TO EASTERLY FETCH OF RELATIVELY DRY AND
COLD AIR IN PLACE THROUGH THE PERIOD. WILL CONTINUE THE CHANCE FOR A
LITTLE LIGHT PRECIPITATION ON SATURDAY AS A WAVE PASSES TO THE
SOUTH...BUT TRENDS WILL LIKELY KEEP IT SOUTH OF THE AREA.
OTHERWISE...PRETTY MUCH LOOKING AT HIGHS IN THE 30S TO LOWER 40S
EACH DAY WITH LOWS IN THE TEENS AND 20S. /08
