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 St. Louis, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Sep 10, 8:07 PM CDT, 2 hours 11 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 10, 8:07 PM CDT, 2 hours 11 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
807 PM CDT Wed Sep 10 2014

.UPDATE:
Issued at 806 PM CDT Wed Sep 10 2014

Let the severe watch expire as the largest threat in process of
exiting stage east. Period of showers being picked up behind the
cold front with temperatures dropping into the 60s as fall-like
air mass moves into the region.

.SHORT TERM:  (Through Tonight)
Issued at 127 PM CDT Wed Sep 10 2014

Focus thru tonight will be precip chances.

Mdls remain in good agreement regarding timing of the cdfnt as
well as precip thru tonight. The cdfnt is currently just SE of
KUIN/KHAE swwd just NW of KMYJ/KVER area. This fnt shud be along a
K3LF to KFAM line at 6 pm this evening.

Believe precip will remain closely confined to the fnt thru much
of the evening. Can not rule out some light SHRA just behind the
fnt, but may be more DZ than actual RA. Precip may linger after
Midnight across far srn portions of the CWA, but much of the
remainder of the CWA shud be dry.

Even with the extensive cloud cover expected tonight, have trended
twd the cooler guidance as CAA shud rule across the region.
Trended temps tonight twd upstream obs earlier today.

.LONG TERM:  (Thursday through Next Wednesday)
Issued at 231 PM CDT Wed Sep 10 2014

Mdls remain in good agreement thru Thurs. By Thurs night, the
GFS/NAM/Local WRF begin to become fast outliers compared to the
ECMWF/GEM with the trof currently over far nwrn U.S. and swrn
Canada ejecting into the nrn Plains. The phasing of this trof will
determine precip chances as a weak fnt pushes thru the region.
With the uncertainty regarding this trof, will keep PoPs low for
now.

The GFS is also faster compared to the ECMWF/GEM with the next
trof impacting the region on Mon into Tues. Have maintained PoPs
for this trof as well, but once again, kept them on the low side.

Trended twd cooler guidance thru Fri with ample cloud cover
expected. Trended the weekend a little warmer as ample insolation
shud allow for max heating. Weak nly flow near the sfc may help
offset heating, but given it is still early Sept, do not believe
it will contribute too much. Warming trend shud continue until the
trof passes mid-week.

&&

.AVIATION:  (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Thursday Evening)
Issued at 628 PM CDT Wed Sep 10 2014

The cold front was moving through the St. Louis area accompanied
by a band of showers and thunderstorms, and should be either on
top of or just past KCPS at 00z. In the wake of the front
scattered showers are possible through the evening with cigs
gradually lowering to MVFR. Cigs should fall into the lower MVFR
range overnight and persist through Thursday morning with some
height improvement on Thursday afternoon.

Specifics for KSTL:

The cold front and thunderstorms have moved through the terminal.
Light showers will remain possible through 03z or so with cigs
lowering after that into the MVFR flight category. MVFR cigs
should persist through the day on Thursday.
