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 Quad Cities, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Nov 27, 3:54 AM CST, 1 hour 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 27, 3:54 AM CST, 1 hour 24 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
354 AM CST FRI NOV 27 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 330 AM CST FRI NOV 27 2015

SFC PRESSURE CONTINUES TO SLIDE EASTWARD THROUGH ILLINOIS INTO
INDIANA WHICH HAS CAUSED SFC WINDS TO TURN AROUND TO THE NORTH.
THIS HAS RESULTED IN COLD AIR ADVECTION AT THE SFC AND UP TO
ABOUT 900MB. HOWEVER...AN INVERSION IS STILL PRESENT AS WINDS ARE
SOUTHWESTERLY ABOVE THIS LEVEL WITH 850MB TEMPS ABOVE 0C.
THEREFORE...PRECIP HAS BEEN PLAIN RAIN THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE ONLY
AREAS WHERE SFC TEMPS ARE NEAR FREEZING ARE ACROSS BUCHANAN AND
DELAWARE COUNTIES BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ONLY SOME PATCHY
DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE IS POSSIBLE THERE OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. ELSEWHERE...ANY AREAS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN SHOULD
DIMINISH OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS ALONG WITH A ZONE OF 850-700MB
FRONTOGENESIS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 330 AM CST FRI NOV 27 2015

TODAY...COLD AIR ADVECTION VIA NORTHERLY SFC WINDS WILL HOLD HIGH
TEMPS SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT TEMPS. EXPECTING A TEMP RANGE FROM
THE LOWER 30S ACROSS THE NW CWA TO THE LOWER 40S OVER THE SE. MAIN
850-700MB FRONTOGENETIC BAND OF RAIN WILL MOVE EASTWARD OUT OF SE
IOWA/NE MISSOURI/W ILLINOIS EARLY THIS MORNING. FOR THIS
REASON...POPS WILL DECREASE FROM NW TO SE DURING THIS TIME.

AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF AN IOWA CITY IOWA TO FREEPORT ILLINOIS
LINE MAY RECEIVE A BRIEF MIX OF LIGHT RAIN/FREEZING DRIZZLE/SLEET
WHERE TEMPS ARE NEAR FREEZING THROUGH 8 OR 9 AM CST. ALTHOUGH
NOTHING SIGNIFICANT IS ANTICIPATED AS PRECIP SHOULD REMAIN
PATCHY/BRIEF.

TONIGHT...BAROCLINIC ZONE TAKES ON A WEST TO EAST ORIENTATION
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA WHERE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ARE IN THE
FORECAST TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. 700MB WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO INCREASE OUT OF THE SW PROVIDING SOME ISENTROPIC LIFT
ON THE 300/305 K SFC AND POSSIBLY LIGHT PRECIP. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SHOW MUCH COLDER TEMPS FROM THE SFC TO 850MB...MOSTLY
BELOW 0C SUPPORTING THE CHANCE FOR SOME MIXED LIGHT FREEZING
RAIN/SLEET. WITH SFC TEMPS NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW FREEZING THERE
COULD BE SOME LIGHT ICING ON UNTREATED SURFACES.

THE 00Z/11.27 NMM-EAST AND 06Z/11.27 NAM ARE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH
THIS SCENARIO UNFOLDING COMPARED TO OTHER MODELS...SOMETHING THE DAY
SHIFT WILL HAVE TO EVALUATE AFTER THE 12Z/11.27 MODEL RUNS. UTTECH

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 AM CST FRI NOV 27 2015

THE MAIN FORECAST ISSUES IN THE LONG TERM PERIOD INVOLVE PRECIP TYPE
AND COVERAGE...ESPECIALLY MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...AND HYDRO
CONCERNS...WHICH ARE DISCUSSED IN SECTION BELOW.

ON SATURDAY...EXPECT BELOW NORMAL AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE 35-40F
RANGE. WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT MAY SUPPORT SOME VERY LIGHT PRECIP IN
THE EXTREME SOUTH SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...BUT THE MAIN PRECIP
EVENT WILL LIKELY HOLD OFF UNTIL LATE SUNDAY OR MONDAY. THE 27/00Z
GFS IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE AMONG THE OPERATIONAL MODEL GUIDANCE IN
DEVELOPING PRECIP BEFORE 12Z MONDAY BUT HAVE KEPT POPS AOB 40
PERCENT FOR THAT PERIOD. THERMAL PROFILES AND SURFACE TEMPS INDICATE
SOME POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING RAIN LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY
MORNING.

THE MAIN SURFACE CYCLONE AND UPPER LOW ARE EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTH
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT WITH HIGH CHANCE
TO LIKELY POPS REASONABLE AT THIS TIME. THERE WILL AGAIN BE THE
POTENTIAL FOR PERIODS OF MIXED PRECIPITATION...WITH THE FINER
DETAILS TO BE HAMMERED OUT AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE EVENT. RAIN
SHOULD BE THE MAIN P-TYPE DURING THE DAY MONDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 30S TO MID 40S...AHEAD OF A POSSIBLE WINTRY MIX MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY.

PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE ENDING TUESDAY ACROSS THE NORTH FOLLOWED BY
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL HIGH TEMPS AND DRY CONDITIONS FOR WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1138 PM CST THU NOV 26 2015

EXPECT FAIRLY WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH MUCH OF FRIDAY.
SOME AREAS OF IFR WILL BE FOUND OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY AM
WITH THE RAIN BEFORE IT ENDS. COULD SEE A BRIEF LIGHT WINTRY MIX
AT KDBQ AND KCID ON TAIL END OF RAIN SHIELD BEFORE IT ENDS EARLY
FRI AM. HAVE CONTINUED TO SIDE TOWARD VARIOUS GUIDANCE INCLUDING
LAMP AND SREF WITH AT LEAST PARTIAL CLEARING AND RETURN OF VFR
CIGS BY LATER FRIDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY EVENING. WINDS WILL BECOME
GUSTY FROM THE NORTH AT ROUGHLY 15-25 KTS OVERNIGHT THROUGH MUCH
OF FRIDAY BEFORE DIMINISHING TO AROUND 10 KTS OR LESS BY FRIDAY
EVENING.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 238 AM CST FRI NOV 27 2015

THE LONG DURATION RAINFALL EVENT IS WINDING DOWN THIS MORNING WITH
RAINFALL REPORTS COMING IN ABOUT AS EXPECTED IN THE 1-2 INCH
RANGE...LOCALLY HIGHER. THIS RECENT RAIN...ON TOP OF FAIRLY
SATURATED SOILS...IS RESULTING IN RISES ON MANY AREA RIVERS. FLOOD
WARNINGS CONTINUE FOR THE ENGLISH RIVER AT KALONA AND THE NORTH
SKUNK RIVER NEAR SIGOURNEY. HAVE ISSUED A NEW FLOOD WARNING FOR
KALONA AS THE STAGE HAS NOW RISEN ABOVE MODERATE FLOOD STAGE.
SIGOURNEY ALSO TOPPED MINOR FLOOD STAGE EARLY THIS MORNING. SEVERAL
POINTS ALONG THE IOWA RIVER...AND THE WAPSI NEAR DEWITT...ARE
FORECAST TO RISE ABOVE FLOOD STAGE FROM LATER TONIGHT INTO THE
WEEKEND. WILL HOLD OFF ISSUING FLOOD WARNINGS FOR THESE POINTS TO
AWAIT NEW MORNING FORECASTS BASED ON ACTUAL QPF.
