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 21, 5:40 AM CST, 4 hours 8 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 21, 5:40 AM CST, 4 hours 8 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA 540 AM CST MON DEC 21 2015 .SHORT TERM /TODAY/... ISSUED AT 350 AM CST MON DEC 21 2015 COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT NEED CONSIDERATION TODAY. FRONT NOW BISECTING THE FORECAST AREA FROM NEAR LAMONI NORTHEAST TO WATERLOO BUT THROUGH DES MOINES AT 0730Z. ONE WEAK WAVE OVER NORTHEAST IOWA AND MAIN WAVE ACROSS NORTHEAST KANSAS WHERE SHOWERS AND ISOLATED ELEVATED CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED. THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT SOUTHEAST AS THE KANSAS WAVE MOVES EAST NORTHEAST THROUGH 18Z TODAY. MOST OF THE AREA WILL BE IN COLD AIR ADVECTION WITH LITTLE RECOVERY IN HIGHS FROM THE MORNING LOWS. DESPITE THAT...TEMPERATURES NEAR SUNRISE WILL STILL BE QUITE MILD WITH LOWER 30S NORTHWEST...NEAR 40 OVER CENTRAL IOWA AND IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S SOUTHEAST. WITH THE WAVE LINGERING TODAY OVER THE SOUTHEAST ALONG THE BOUNDARY...EXPECTING SOME LIGHT RAIN AND POSSIBLE ISO THUNDER EARLY SOUTHEAST...WITH LINGERING SHOWERS TO PERSIST UNTIL ABOUT 15-16Z PRIOR TO ENDING THERE. CLOUDS WILL ALSO BE PRESENT ALL DAY AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH STILL WEST OF THE IOWA TONIGHT AND WILL FINALLY SWING EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY 00Z. CLEARING WILL EVENTUALLY ARRIVE LATER IN THE EVENING. EARLY TODAY SOME FOG WILL BE AROUND THE BOUNDARY AND JUST NORTHWEST OF IT THROUGH EARLY MORNING. HAVE ADDED PATCHY WORDING MOST OF NORTHWEST REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT. A FEW SPOTS HITTING 1/4SM NOW...BUT DRIER AIR ARRIVING WILL HELP MITIGATE SOME OF THE VIS ISSUES NOW CURRENTLY SEEN OVER NORTHWEST SECTIONS. WILL MONITOR FOR ANY NEED OF SPS THIS MORNING. WINDS WILL PICK UP FROM THE NORTHWEST TODAY...WITH SOME GUSTS APPROACHING 20 MPH DURING THE MID TO LATE MORNING HOURS. .LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... ISSUED AT 350 AM CST MON DEC 21 2015 IOWA WILL REMAIN ALONG THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF A BROAD LONGWAVE TROUGH THROUGH THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND WITH WEAK IMPULSES PROPAGATING THROUGH THE MEAN FLOW. THIS WILL RESULT IN VARIABLE CLOUDINESS AND PERIODIC CHANCES FOR LIGHT PRECIP AS WELL AS CONTINUED ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. SURFACE RIDGE AXIS WILL BE SHIFTING ACROSS THE CWA ON MONDAY NIGHT AS OUR CURRENT SYSTEM DEPARTS. AS THIS RIDGE MOVES EASTWARD ON TUESDAY...WAA WILL TAKE PLACE THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON WITH A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT RESULTING IN STIFF SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KTS. SOME CONCERN THAT HIGHS MAY NOT BE WARM ENOUGH GIVEN HOW WARM THE AREA GOT YESTERDAY...SO REMAINED ON THE WARMER SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE SPECTRUM. A DEEPENING CYCLONE WILL TRACK ACROSS THE DAKOTAS AND INTO SOUTHWEST ONTARIO BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT ACROSS IOWA DURING THIS TIMEFRAME. KINEMATIC FORCING OUT AHEAD OF A SECOND LOW LIFTING NORTH OUT OF EASTERN KANSAS WILL TRIGGER RAIN ACROSS PRIMARILY THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA WITH A POSSIBLE CHANGEOVER TO SNOW ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM AS IT LIFTS OUT OF THE AREA. AN ADDITIONAL PV ANOMALY WILL SCOOT THROUGH THE STATE ON CHRISTMAS EVE...WITH BOTH THE GFS AND EC PAINTING A SHORT PERIOD OF SNOW WITH ITS PASSAGE ACROSS NORTHERN IOWA. THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN AMPLIFIES FOR LATER IN THE WEEK/WEEKEND WITH THE GFS AND EC NOW COMING INTO BETTER ALIGNMENT SINCE YESTERDAY...DEVELOPING A CUTOFF LOW ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST US BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL RESULT IN A STATIONARY BOUNDARY BECOMING ESTABLISHED OVER THE CENTRAL US THAT WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR HEAVY RAINFALL. THIS BAND LOOKS TO FIRST DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHERN MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY DURING THE WEEKEND...BUT THE EVOLUTION OF THE BAND AS IT LIFTS NORTHWARD BEYOND THIS TIME IS MORE UNCERTAIN DUE TO MODEL DISCREPANCIES IN HOW SOON THE LOW EJECTS NORTHEASTWARD. && .AVIATION...21/12Z ISSUED AT 540 AM CST MON DEC 21 2015 LIFR CIGS TO CONTINUE AS SHIELD OF -RA/+RA MOVES OUT OF SOUTHEAST.
