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 Mar 11, 9:00 PM CDT, 1 hour 21 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 11, 9:00 PM CDT, 1 hour 21 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 900 PM CDT MON MAR 11 2013 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 853 PM CDT MON MAR 11 2013 DESPITE WESTERLY FLOW OVER THE AREA...LOW CLOUDS ARE TAKING THEIR TIME TO MOVE OUT THIS EVENING. THUS...HAVE MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO CLOUDCOVER AND TEMPERATURES TO REFLECT CURRENT TRENDS...THOUGH STILL CONFIDENT IN THE SEASONABLY COLD OVERNIGHT LOWS ACROSS THE REGION IN THE MID 20S TO LOW 30S. ASIDE FROM MINOR TWEAKS TO NEAR TERM TRENDS...NO OTHER CHANGES WERE WARRANTED THIS EVENING AS THE FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK. JP && .SHORT TERM...(THROUGH LATE TONIGHT) ISSUED AT 331 PM CDT MON MAR 11 2013 (TONIGHT) MAIN CONCERN FOR TONIGHT IS HOW LONG LOW CLOUDS WILL HANG AROUND AND THEIR EFFECTS ON TEMPERATURES BEHIND DEPARTING CYCLONE OVER LOWER MICHIGAN. MODELS OFTEN ARE TOO FAST ERODING LOW CLOUD COVER IN THESE TYPES OF SITUATIONS...HOWEVER THE 1200 UTC NAM/GFS DO LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE CLOUD DECK AND USED A BLEND OF THESE TWO FOR PRIMARY INPUT TO SKY GRIDS. THIS YIELDS DECREASING CLOUDS WSW-ENE TONIGHT WITH THE CLOUDINESS CONDITIONS STAYING OVER NE MO AND W/C IL WHERE LL CAA WILL CONTINUE UNDER CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT. TEMPERATURES TONIGHT ARE FORECAST TO BE SEASONALLY COLD WITH LOWS RANGING FROM THE MID 20S TO NEAR FREEZING. GOSSELIN && .LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY) ISSUED AT 331 PM CDT MON MAR 11 2013 (TUESDAY - WEDNESDAY) ANOTHER MIDLEVEL SYSTEM WITHIN NW FLOW ALOFT WILL COME OUT OF SASKATCHEWAN THIS EVENING DEEPEN WITH TIME AND TRAVEL INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN BY 1800 UTC TUESDAY. THIS IMPULSE WILL ACT TO DEEPEN THE LONGWAVE TROUGH EAST OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. A SECONDARY SHOT OF COLDER AIR WILL COME IN TOMORROW WITH THIS SECOND IMPULSE AS WELL AS LOW CLOUD COVER ONCE AGAIN. TEMPERATURES AGAIN WILL BE PROBLEMATIC DURING THIS PERIOD. MAV/MET MOS NUMBERS ARE 5+ DEGREES APART ON TUESDAY AND LEANED EVER SO SLIGHTLY TOWARD COOLER MET GUIDANCE (ESPECIALLY UP NORTH) GIVEN EXPECTED INCREASING LOW CLOUD COVER AND STRENGTHENING CAA THROUGHOUT THE DAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO RANGE FROM THE UPPER 30S UP NORTH TO LOW 50S OVER FAR SE MO. KEPT SCH POPS FOR RAIN/SNOW OVER NE MO AND W/C IL WHERE STRONGEST MIDLEVEL FORCING FOR ASCENT WILL BE LOCATED ALONG/AHEAD OF TRACK OF 500-HPA VORTICITY MAXIMA. SKIES WILL GRADUALLY CLEAR ON TUESDAY NIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST. WENT AOB COOLEST GUIDANCE IN AREAS WITH CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED...ROUGHLY IN C MO IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO SFC RIDGE AXIS WHICH RESULTED IN L/M 20S. FURTHER EAST...FAVORED WARMER MET DUE TO MORE CLOUD COVER WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 20S TO NEAR 30 DEGREES. STRONG WAA WILL COMMENCE ON WEDNESDAY ESPECIIALY OVER WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA. WITH CLEAR OR MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED...WENT SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE MODEL CONSENSUS AS NWP GUIDANCE HAS BEEN MUCH TOO COOL LATE THIS WINTER/EARLY THIS SPRING WITH FULL SUNSHINE. (THURSDAY - MONDAY) DRY WEATHER WITH MODERATING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED DURING THE THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY TIMEFRAME UNDER INCREASING MIDLEVEL HEIGHTS AND 850-HPA TEMPERATURES. FRIDAY IS STILL LOOKING LIKE THE WARMEST DAY AS 850-HPA TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM +6-+12C FROM EAST TO WEST. HIGHS ON FRIDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 60S...WITH SOME AREAS OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST MISSOURI APPROACHING 70F. A COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO MOVE THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/EARLY SATURDAY AND BRING SEASONAL TEMPERATURES BY SUNDAY. MIDLEVEL FLOW BECOMES ZONAL BY SATURDAY NIGHT WITH SEVERAL EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES BRINGING CHC POPS FOR RAIN AS SFC FRONT STALLS OUT SOMEWHERE TO OUR SOUTH AND MAY WAVER BACK AND FORTH. ANOTHER GOOD CHC AT RAIN IS EXPECTED ON MONDAY AS A STRONGER SHORTWAVE AMPLIFIES TO THE LEE OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND A SFC WAVE DEVELOPS AND DEEPENS ALONG THE AFOREMENTIONED BAROCLINIC ZONE. INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT LATEST ECMWF IS MUCH COLDER AT LOW LEVELS AND VERBATIM WOULD ACTUALLY BRING A CHANCE AT SNOW OR AT LEAST A RAIN/SNOW MIX ON SAT NIGHT/SUNDAY. HOWVER...ITS LOW LEVEL TEMPS LOOKED TOO COLD GIVEN UPPER-LEVEL FLOW REGIME SO FOR NOW DID NOT TAKE THIS SCENARIO INTO ACCOUNT IN OFFICIAL FORECAST.
