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 May 20, 3:52 PM CDT, 7 hours 37 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 20, 3:52 PM CDT, 7 hours 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
352 PM CDT MON MAY 20 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THROUGH LATE TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 323 PM CDT MON MAY 20 2013

ALL SYSTEMS APPEAR GO FOR AN ACTIVE NIGHT OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH
SEVERE POTENTIAL AS THE ENVIRONMENT WILL HAVE PLENTY OF INSTABILITY
AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR AROUND 50 KTS. THE AIR MASS OVER THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF MISSOURI HAS RECOVERED FROM EARLIER CONVECTION WITH SBCAPE
AOA 3000 J/KG AND THIS RECOVERY SHOULD CONTINUE TO SPREAD
NORTHWARD THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED IN SEVERAL CONFLUENT ZONES ACROSS SW MO AND SE KS AND
ARE MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED
WITH DISCRETE STORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY EVENING AND THEN AN
OVERALL TREND FOR RAPID UPSCALE GROWTH INTO A FORWARD PROPAGATING
QLCS FEATURING A MIX MODE OF BOWING SEGMENTS AND EMBEDDED
SUPERCELLS. THIS QLCS IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT A GOOD PORTION OF THE
CWA AS IT MOVES E/NW TONIGHT. SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL MAY
OCCUR WHERE TRAINING OCCURS...BUT THE SYSTEM IS NOT EXPECTED TO
PRODUCE A WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN/FLASH FLOOD THREAT.

GLASS

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 323 PM CDT MON MAY 20 2013

THE IMPACTS OF THE OVERNIGHT CONVECTION ARE HARD TO GAGE AND WILL
HAVE LARGE RAMIFICATIONS ON THE THUNDERSTORM AND SEVERE THREAT
TUESDAY. ANY ONGOING SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS REMNANT FROM OVERNIGHT
ARE LIKELY TO BE LOCATED ACROSS SE MO INTO SW IL DURING THE FIRST
PART OF THE MORNING AND THEN WEAKEN. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS IT
WILL THEN REMAIN RELATIVELY VOID OF PRECIPITATION WELL INTO MID
AFTERNOON AND THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME AIR MASS RECOVERY AS
CLOUDS THIN. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE NOT AS STEEP SO OVERALL
INSTABILITY SHOULD BE LESS THAN THE LAST FEW DAYS...HOWEVER IT SHOULD
BE SUFFICIENT WITH AMPLE DEEP LAYER SHEAR FOR SCATTERED ORGANIZED
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING DURING THE LATER PART OF THE AFTERNOON...RAMPING
UP IN COVERAGE DURING THE EARLY EVENING AS LARGE SCALE ASCENT INCREASES
IN ASSOCIATION WITH A SHORT WAVE ROTATING NEWD FROM EASTERN OK
REGION. ANY RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES WILL PROVIDE FURTHER FOCUS AND
ENHANCE THE SEVERE THREAT. THE LARGE SCALE TROF AND ATTENDANT COLD
FRONT WILL FINALLY MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT...PASSING
EAST OF THE CWA BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. DRIER AIR AND COOLER
AIR WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT
AND A SECONDARY COLD FRONT ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL USHER EVEN
COOLER AIR AND HIGH PRESSURE INTO THE AREA.

THE PATTERN WILL BE DOMINATED BY WEAK NW FLOW ON THE BACKSIDE OF
THE UPPER TROF AND LOOKS DRY THURSDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY...THEREAFTER
RETURN FLOW AND WEAK DISTURBANCES PASSING THRU THE PLAINS UPPER
RIDGE AND INTO THE MID/UPPER MS VALLEY WILL BRING A RE-NEWED
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS....ESPECIALLY THE NRN HALF OF THE CWA.
WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE RETURN FLOW.
