$$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 Apr 3, 6:53 PM CDT, 58 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 6:53 PM CDT, 58 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
653 PM CDT Thu Apr 3 2014
.UPDATE:
Issued at 610 PM CDT Thu Apr 3 2014
Minor update to fine-tune PoP trends and timing through 06z.
Kanofsky
&&
.SHORT TERM: (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 137 PM CDT Thu Apr 3 2014
Ongoing regional severe weather event will persist into the evening
hours across the LSX CWA. New convective development is anticipated
to the west along an approaching cold front with eventual upscale
growth into a QLCS. Sufficient shear and instability are available
to produce all types of severe weather, including tornadoes, large
hail, and damaging wind gusts. The greatest tornado threat is across
the southern half of the CWA and anywhere storms might happen to
intersect boundaries such as the synoptic warm front or outflow
boundaries left over from earlier convection.
Kanofsky
.LONG TERM: (Friday through Next Thursday)
Issued at 137 PM CDT Thu Apr 3 2014
The aforementioned cold front should have moved through the entire
CWA by 12z Fri with only some -SHRA lingering across the northern
CWA during the morning hours as the upper low continues moving away
from the region. The tight pressure gradient behind the departing
low pressure system will produce breezy conditions through Fri
afternoon. Winds then gradually subside during the late afternoon
and early evening hours once the pressure gradient relaxes.
A surface high then builds in to the region on Fri night with the
center of the surface high located overhead by 12z Sat. The
combination of cooler post-frontal air and good radiational cooling
conditions will produce chilly overnight lows on late Fri
night/early Sat morning. Most locations will be around 10 degrees
below normal with overnight lows expected to be in the upper 20s to
lower 30s. Quiet weather is anticipated on Sat due to the influence
of the surface high.
Meanwhile, another shortwave will lift through northern Mexico,
reaching TX and AR by Sun night. This feature could bring
precipitation to the southeastern CWA on Sun-Mon, especially on Sun
night. Another vort max is forecast to drop down the back side of a
highly amplified trough on Mon night, possibly bringing
precipitation to the area on Tue. Generally expect average to below
average temperatures since the winds maintain an easterly component
(around the south side of a high pressure center over the Great
Lakes) or a northerly component (north of the surface low associated
with the Sun-Mon system) through the middle of next week.
Kanofsky

.AVIATION: (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Friday Evening)
Issued at 642 PM CDT Thu Apr 3 2014
Line that intiated over western MO earlier this afternoon has
increased its eastward speed...with new development now occuring
in the wake of the line in the residually unstable airmass ahead
of the advancing cold front. Have the primary/most intense
thunderstorm threat (IFR cigs/vsbs) with the leading line...but
have also kept some VCTS going after the passage of the line but
before fropa. Will likely have to refine the threat of this second
area once its trends become a bit more defined. IFR stratus has
been anchored over e KS in the wake of the slow moving cold front,
but believe it will begin to surge east over the next few hours as
shortwave energy ejects east...accelerating the NE movement of the
surface low. Have brought this cloud deck in to most locations as MVFR
cigs, but will also need to monitor upstream trends for this as well.
Specifics for KSTL: Line of strong convection will move into the
area by around 01z...and believe we should at least see some gusty
straight line winds with the passage of the line as well as IFR
vsbys/low end MVFR cigs with brief but very heavy rain associated
with the convection. As mentioned above...also continued VCTS in
the wake of the line for the redevelopment that is occurring over
northern Ozarks. This secondary tsra threat should end with fropa
around 05z, followed by MVFR cigs moving in from the west during
the predawn hours.
