$$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 Dec 14, 12:13 PM CST, 2 hours 26 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 14, 12:13 PM CST, 2 hours 26 minutes before
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
