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 Quad Cities, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 4, 6:48 AM CDT, 2 hours 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 4, 6:48 AM CDT, 2 hours 14 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
648 AM CDT SAT MAY 4 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 645 AM CDT SAT MAY 4 2013

RAIN SHOWERS HAVE DIMINISHED QUITE A BIT OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF
HOURS BUT ANOTHER SURGE OF RAIN WAS SPREADING QUICKLY NORTHWEST
OUT OF CENTRAL/SOUTHERN IL. HAVE UPDATED THE GRIDS TO REDUCE POPS
TO SCATTERED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS THEN GO LIKELY THE
REMAINDER OF THE DAY OVER MOST OF THE CWA. REMAINDER OF THE GRIDS
BEGINNING WITH THIS AFTERNOON UNCHANGED FOR NOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 255 AM CDT SAT MAY 4 2013

LIGHT TO MODERATE SHOWERS CONTINUE TO ROTATE AROUND A STRONG UPPER
LEVEL LOW LOCATED IN EXTREME SOUTHWEST MO. THE SHOWERS EXTENDED
FROM CENTRAL IL AND ACROSS MUCH OF THE DVN CWA AND WERE MOVING TO
THE NORTHWEST. THE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS EARLIER IN THE EVENING
HAVE PUSHED INTO EXTREME NORTHEAST IA AND SOUTHWEST WI. CURRENT
TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE LOWER 60S IN CENTRAL IL TO THE LOWER 50S
IN OUR EASTERN CWA AND AROUND 40 IN OUR FAR WESTERN CWA. READINGS
IN THE MID 30S WERE COMMON FROM NORTHWEST WI/EASTERN MN TO CENTRAL
IA AND INTO ARKANSAS. OF COURSE THIS IS THE AREA THAT HAD THE
HISTORIC MAY SNOWSTORM THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 255 AM CDT SAT MAY 4 2013

FORECAST FOCUS ON SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TEMPERATURES.

TODAY...SHOWERS WILL BE LIKELY TODAY AS SPOKES OF ENERGY CONTINUE
TO ROTATE AROUND THE CLOSED UPPER LOW THAT WILL BE MOVING INTO
NORTHERN ARKANSAS. PRECIPITABLE WATERS WILL REMAIN ABOVE 1 INCH SO
MODERATE SHOWERS MAY DUMP AT LEAST ANOTHER 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH AT
MANY LOCATIONS TODAY. HAVE ADDED ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO THE GRIDS
FOR THIS AFTERNOON AS FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE CAPES OF AROUND
200 J/KG WITH TOTAL TOTALS IN THE MID 40S. MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES
WILL BE IN THE UPPER 50S WEST TO MID 60S EAST.

TONIGHT...THE UPPER LOW TRACKS INTO THE DEEP SOUTH (AMAZING
CONSIDERING EARLIER IN THE WEEK SOME OF THE MODELS HAD THE LOW
GOING TO DULUTH!). DRIER AIR ON NORTHEAST WINDS FEEDING IN FROM
HIGH PRESSURE IN THE GREAT LAKES WILL DIMINISH OR BRING AN END TO
THE SHOWERS OVER MOST OF THE CWA OVERNIGHT. MINIMUM TEMPERATURES
WILL BE IN THE 40S.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 255 AM CDT SAT MAY 4 2013

SUNDAY WILL BE THE LAST FULL DAY DEALING WITH THE REMNANTS OF THE
UPPER LOW THAT WILL HAVE PLAGUED THE MIDWEST FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF
MAY SO FAR. FOR OUR CWA...NORTHEASTERLY FLOW AT LOW LEVELS SHOULD
HELP DRAW IN SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR...AND LIMIT SHOWERY PCPN TO OUR
SOUTHWEST. HOWEVER...WITH COOL AIR STILL ALOFT...A SCATTERED SHOWER
CANNOT BE RULED OUT EXCEPT FOR THE NORTHEAST.  I HAVE GONE SOMEWHAT
MORE CONSERVATIVE ON TEMPERATURES AND MORE PESSIMISTIC ON CLOUD
COVER THAN MODELS GIVEN OUR SATURATED GROUND AND RELATIVE COOL
AIRMASS AT LOW LEVELS. THIS COULD LEAD TO A SIGNIFICANT FOG EVENT
FOR CENTRAL AND WESTERN IOWA IN THE NEXT 2 DAYS...AND SHOULD BE
CLOSELY WATCHED TO SEE IF IT IMPACT HERE AS WELL. THIS RESULTS IN
HIGHS SUNDAY IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S...ALL IN ALL A REMARKABLY
PLEASANT DAY ENDING THE RUN OF WET WEATHER.

MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY APPEARS PLEASANT AND NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS IN
THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. AGAIN ON THESE DAYS...FOG TO OUR WEST
COULD IMPACT OUR CWA...BUT IS MOST LIKELY FARTHER WEST WHERE
CONVERGENCE AND MUCH COOLER SURFACE AIR IS EXPECTED TO BE FOUND.

BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...THE FLOW AT UPPER LEVELS
BECOME WEAK SOUTHWESTERLY WITH EMBEDDED WAVES AND A GROWING THREAT OF
A CLOSED UPPER LOW COMING OUT TOWARD THURSDAY. WHILE STRONG LOW
LEVEL MOIST ADVECTION IS NOT FORECAST...THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH
MOISTURE AND LIFT AROUND TO SUPPORT A GOOD CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THE 2ND HALF OF THE WEEK. SHOULD THE ECMWF AND UKMET
SOLUTION VERIFY...THIS COULD BE A NOTABLY WET PERIOD ONCE AGAIN.

A STRONG COLD FRONT AFTER FRIDAY IS SHOWN BY THE ECMWF AND GFS 00Z
RUNS...AND SHOULD BE WATCHED FOR A FROST POTENTIAL IF MODEL TRENDS
CONTINUE.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY MORNING)

VFR CIGS BUT IFR VIS AT MOST TAF SITES THIS MORNING WITH SCATTERED
SHOWERS. MVFR/OCNL IFR CIGS/VIS IN SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON ALONG WITH
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. VFR CIGS WITH MVFR VIS IN BR EXPECTED TONIGHT.
