$$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 13, 7:37 PM CDT, 1 hour 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 13, 7:37 PM CDT, 1 hour 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
737 PM CDT Sat Sep 13 2014
.SHORT TERM: (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 307 PM CDT Sat Sep 13 2014
Center of the large surface high responsible for the area's
unseasonably cool weather will shift into central Illinois
tonight. This feature will keep skies clear through early morning
while favorable conditions for radiational cooling once again
bring temperatures down into near-record territory with lows in
the upper 30s and lower 40s. Forecast lows for STL and UIN are
both within a degree or two of record (see climate section below)
while increasing southerly flow across Mid-MO should keep COU a
few degrees above record. Could once again see areas of fog toward
sunrise though not as widespread as it was this morning. Most
favorable areas for fog will be across west central Illinois as well
as some eastern Missouri river valleys.
Hawblitzel
.LONG TERM: (Sunday through Next Saturday)
Issued at 307 PM CDT Sat Sep 13 2014
Weak southerly winds on Sunday and mostly clear skies will allow
temperatures to rise a few degrees with highs in the upper 60s and
lower 70s. While warmer than the past couple of days, this is
still 10 to 12 degrees below average and more representative of
mid-October than mid-September.
Warm air advection will get underway Sunday night into Monday
while a broad upper-level wave digs into the Upper Midwest.
Interaction of the two along with some increasing moisture will
allow for numerous to widespread showers and a few storms
spreading into northeast Missouri and west central Illinois Monday
morning. Best chances for rain will be along and northwest of I-44
in MO and I-55 in IL where lift will be maximized closer to the
upper wave. These areas could see up to a half inch of rainfall,
especially given a rapid increase in moisture Monday morning with
precipitable water values up to 1.5". Forcing shouldn't be strong
or organized enough for amounts much higher than this so this
shouldn't have much of an impact on any ongoing flooding.
Another cold front will spread across the area Monday evening and
could bring scattered showers and perhaps a thunderstorm or two as
far southeast as the Farmington and Centralia areas. With quasi-
zonal flow developing into early next week, the airmass behind
Monday night's front won't be nearly as chilly as what is in place
this weekend though still several degrees below normal. Highs on
Tuesday will be in the upper 60s and lower 70s...gradually rising
into the middle to upper 70s by Friday. Lows will generally be in
the 50s. GFS brings a weak wave and resulting light precipitation
to central and eastern Missouri on Wednesday, though this seems
too aggressive given the dry airmass in place. Opted to stay
closer to the ECMWF with dry weather for the Tuesday through
Saturday period.
