$$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 Jul 11, 5:16 PM CDT, 5 hours 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 11, 5:16 PM CDT, 5 hours 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
516 PM CDT SAT JUL 11 2015
.SHORT TERM: (THROUGH LATE TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 356 PM CDT SAT JUL 11 2015
SCATTERED CONVECTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ALONG AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY AND AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT WHICH EXTENDS FROM JUST
NORTHEAST OF IRK TO JUST EAST OF STL. CONVECTION, POSSIBLY SEVERE
IS EXPECTED ACROSS WEST CENTRAL IL LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE
EARLY EVENING. THESE STORMS WILL ALSO PRODUCE HIGH RAINFALL RATES.
SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY MAY BACKBUILD INTO EAST CENTRAL MO AS THE
ATMOSPHERE IS QUITE UNSTABLE. ADDITIONAL REDEVELOPMENT OF
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED THIS EVENING, MAINLY ACROSS NORTHEAST MO
AND WEST CENTRAL IL DUE TO LOW LEVEL WARM AIR ADVECTION ON THE
NOSE OF A LOW LEVEL JET AHEAD OR NORTHEAST OF THE WARM FRONT WHICH
SHOULD BE SLOWLY LIFTING NORTHEASTWARD. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY
SHOULD BE NORTH OF COU AND NORTH-NORTHEAST OF STL. LOWS TONIGHT
WILL BE WARMER THAN THE PREVIOUS NIGHT DUE TO SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY
SURFACE WINDS, SOME MID- HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER AND HIGHER SURFACE
DEW POINTS.
GKS
.LONG TERM: (SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 356 PM CDT SAT JUL 11 2015
UPPER LEVEL HIGH CENTERED OVER THE SOUTH-CENTRAL CONUS WILL MOVE
LITTLE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS...BUT EVEN ITS SMALL AMOUNT
OF WOBBLING WILL STILL IMPACT OUR AREA AS ITS INFLUENCE IS
EXPECTED TO WANE EARLY NEXT WEEK...AND THEN WAX AGAIN LATE NEXT
WEEK.
THE IMPACT IN REGARDS TO HEAT AND PCPN CHANCES THRU MONDAY WILL BE
FOR THE BEST CHANCES OF RAIN TO REMAIN NORTH AND EAST OF STL METRO
WITH SUFFICIENT INFLUENCE FROM THE UPPER HIGH OVER STL METRO AND
CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST MO TO MAINTAIN THE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS.
THE HOTTEST TEMPS WILL BE FOUND IN STL METRO WITH MAXES IN THE MID
TO UPPER 90S AND SHOULD RESULT IN PEAK HEAT INDEX VALUES BOTH
DAYS AROUND 105F. ELSEWHERE...PEAK HEAT INDEX VALUES AROUND 100F
ARE EXPECTED.
THE PERIOD TUESDAY THRU THURSDAY COULD FEATURE AN INTRUSION BY A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH MORE WIDESPREAD CHANCES FOR RAIN AND
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES AS THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH INFLUENCE
RETREATS TO THE SOUTHWEST AND RESULTS IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
OVERHEAD.
BY LATE NEXT WEEK...HOWEVER...THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH APPEARS TO BE ON
THE MEND AND BUILDS BACK IN AND COULD BRING A RETURN OF DANGEROUS
HEAT AND HUMIDITY TO MUCH OF THE AREA.
HEAT HEADLINES HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR STL METRO FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY
BASED PRIMARILY ON 105 BEING ATTAINED BOTH DAYS...BUT SECONDARILY
WITH GOOD CONFIDENCE ON 100 OR MORE BEING ATTAINED FOR FOUR
CONSECUTIVE DAYS BEGINNING WITH THIS AFTERNOON.
ELSEHWERE...CONFIDENCE NOT NEARLY AS HIGH WITH LOWER FORECAST VALUES
AND SO WILL PROBABLY HINGE MAINLY ON WHETHER OR NOT 100+ HEAT INDEX
VALUES CAN BE ATTAINED THRU TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY WHEN THE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO SETTLE INTO THE AREA. IT IS ALSO BECAUSE OF THE
EXPECTED FRONTAL INTRUSION THAT HEAT HEADLINES HAVE BEEN CAPPED AT
MONDAY FOR NOW.
TES
&&
.AVIATION: (FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 458 PM CDT SAT JUL 11 2015
AT 21Z WARM FRONT EXTENDS FROM THE QUINCY AREA, EAST OF STL AND
THEN BETWEEN SPARTA AND MOUNT VERNON. FRONT WILL MOVE A BIT NORTH
SUNDAY BEFORE SAGGING SOUTH LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AS A
SHORT WAVE MOVES SOUTHEAST FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST. THE FRONT WILL
BE THE FOCUS FOR THUDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT SO IN THE SHORT TERM UIN
LOOKS TO HAVE THE BEST CHANCES, BUT LOW ENOUGH TO KEEP THE TAF
DRY. OTHERWISE VFR WITH A SOUTHWEST WIND.
SPECIFICS FOR KSTL: WITH THE WARM FRONT BEING THE FOCUS FOR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT, AND IT LYING EAST OF STL, STORMS SHOULD
STAY TO THE EAST. CAN'T RULE OUT SOME STORMS SAGGING MORE SOUTH
OVERNIGHT AS THEY DEVELOP OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST BUT CHANCES ARE
LOW ENOUGH TO LEAVE OUT. OTHWERWISE VFR WITH SOUTH T0 SOUTHWEST
WIND.
