$$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 Des Moines, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jun 26, 7:05 PM CDT, 1 hour 17 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 26, 7:05 PM CDT, 1 hour 17 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA 705 PM CDT THU JUN 26 2014 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/... ISSUED AT 322 PM CDT THU JUN 26 2014 WE HAVE SEEN SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA TODAY WITH NO REAL SEVERE WEATHER BUT PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING. RAINFALL RATES HAVE BEEN VERY EFFICIENT IN THE HEAVIER CORES. NEBULOUS FORCING LOOKS TO PERSIST TONIGHT WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY TO PERMIT SCATTERED STORMS TO CONTINUE...PROBABLY WITH SOME LULLS THEN FLARING UP AGAIN. GIVEN THE NEAR IMPOSSIBILITY OF PINNING DOWN LOCATIONS AND TIMING OF STORMS...HAVE OPTED FOR WIDESPREAD 30 TO 40 POPS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM WORDING ESSENTIALLY AREA WIDE THROUGH THE NIGHT. EXPECT SEVERE WEATHER THREAT TO BE MINIMAL AGAIN...BUT WITH LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING THREAT PERSISTING. OTHER FORECAST FIELDS STRAIGHTFORWARD...WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE MID 60S AND MODEST SOUTH SOUTHEAST BREEZES. .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... ISSUED AT 322 PM CDT THU JUN 26 2014 MINIMAL TIME SPENT ON LONG TERM DUE TO HYDRO /FLASH FLOOD/ OPS TODAY. MAINLY MINOR TWEAKS MADE TO THE LONG TERM FORECAST. STILL THINKING THAT THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WITH HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLE SVR WOULD BE THIS WEEKEND. PWATS WILL CONTINUE TO BE HIGH THIS WEEKEND. UPPER LEVEL TROF MOVING OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL U.S. WILL HELP PROVIDE FORCING FOR THE CONVECTION. BEST THETA-E ADVECTION OCCURS SUNDAY NIGHT. MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE AN MCS MOVING FROM NW TO SE ACROSS THE CWA DURING THE NIGHT...PUSHING THE SFC BOUNDARY SOUTH WITH IT AND RESULTING IN LOWER CHANCES OF TSRA ON MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL FILL IN BEHIND THE FRONT FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK AND BRING A BRIEF DRY PERIOD TO THE REGION. && .AVIATION...27/00Z ISSUED AT 705 PM CDT THU JUN 26 2014 VFR CONDITIONS ARE IN PLACE ACROSS MUCH OF THE STATE ALTHOUGH LOCALLY DEGRADED NEAR STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS. CONVECTION HAS SHOWN LITTLE PREDICTABILITY HOWEVER SO HAVE ONLY ACCOUNTED FOR PRECIP TRENDS IN THE FIRST 10 HOURS OF THE FORECAST TO VARIED DEGREES DEPENDING ON CONFIDENCE. CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE ENTIRE PERIOD INTO FRI...BUT WILL ADDRESS THAT ONCE CONFIDENCE INCREASE. MAY ALSO SEE MVFR FOG DEVELOP EARLY FRI MORNING...ESPECIALLY NEAR AREAS THAT HAVE SEEN APPRECIABLE RAIN. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SHORT TERM...LEE LONG TERM...ZOGG AVIATION...SMALL
