$$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 Dec 14, 5:53 AM CST, 7 hours 26 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 14, 5:53 AM CST, 7 hours 26 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 553 AM CST MON DEC 14 2015 .SHORT TERM: (Through Late This Afternoon) Issued at 335 AM CST Mon Dec 14 2015 Although the period of steady rain has ended now that the axis of strongest moisture convergence has progressed eastward, scattered to numerous showers were still occurring early this morning farther back over MO/KS/AR/OK. These showers are associated with the upper low center, which was located near the MO/KS border at 09z per satellite imagery and RAP analyses. These showers will accompany the upper low today as it tracks northeastward from MO into IL/WI, leading to periods of rain across MO/IL. Simultaneously, a vort lobe rotating around the back side of the departing upper low may bring an increased chance of showers to parts of northeast MO/west central IL this aftn. The PoP grids attempt to reflect this complexity. Stronger winds aloft will be transported down to the surface today, leading to windy conditions at times. Both sustained winds and gusts appear to remain below advisory criteria attm. Non-diurnal temperatures are expected again today due to the competing influences of CAA behind a cold front, diurnal warming, and lingering precip/cloud cover. Kanofsky .LONG TERM: (Tonight through Sunday) Issued at 335 AM CST Mon Dec 14 2015 (Tonight) Dry weather is in the offing for the area as relatively narrow NW-SE oriented surface ridge in the wake of today's system passes through the region. Primary question is cloud trends, and although the tendency should be a clearing of the post system low cloudiness from SW to NE guidance varies a great deal on how quickly this will occur. MOS output based on the NAM...with its typically moist low levels...holds onto a good deal of low cloudiness into Tuesday morning, while GFS MOS certainly suggests a decrease in the cloud cover. Given that the low level wind forecasts have a pronounced westerly component that should aid in clearing of the low cloudiness, will lean towards trends suggested by GFS MOS. Some fog is certainly possible as well given the water-logged ground across the region and decreasing winds as the surface ridge works into the area, but will let day shift take another look at this before including in forecast. (Tuesday-Wednesday) Heading into the middle of the week attention turns to potent and fast moving upper level system that migrates from the central Plains into the upper Mississippi Valley Tuesday afternoon-Wednesday afternoon. With forcing well to the north and with limited moisture return, it still appears rain threat with this system will be rather low. Overall forecast trends remain the same, although did attempt to fine-tune the timing of the rain threat just a bit due to the good agreement in the 00z solutions WRT movement of upper level features as well as surface cold front. (Thursday-Sunday) No major changes in forecast specifics during this time frame, with all NWP solutions still indicating deep upper trof developing over the central CONUS Thursday-Friday. The drop in heights over the region should finally allow a much more typical early winter AMS to settle into the mid Mississippi Valley, with 850mb temps of at least -10C progged into the area by Friday morning. This cool down should bring the CWA its first real taste of winter temperatures with highs in the 30s to low 40s by Friday...first time temps have been near or below their daily averages since early this month. However, it appears that these winter temperatures will be short- lived, as progressive UA pattern allows strong ridging to build back across the central CONUS during the upcoming weekend as deep trof works its way into the eastern U.S. AMS over the region should modify quickly during this transition, and the main question is how fast this modification will occur. If tonight's medium range solutions are correct warmup could begin already on Saturday, but given the fact that models are often too fast in a high amplitude regime will keep Saturday's temps on the cool side, and begin the warmup in earnest on Sunday, with highs returning to the 40s and 50s. It still appears that dry conditions will dominate the CWA during the Thursday-Sunday temperature roller coaster. Truett && .AVIATION: (For the 12z TAFs through 12z Tuesday Morning) Issued at 530 AM CST Mon Dec 14 2015 Scattered showers will continue this morning until an upper level low pressure center has lifted northeast of the area. Brief downpours have been observed with some of the showers, temporarily reducing vsbys below 2 miles. Gusty southwest winds are expected for most of the day with gusts reaching 20-30 kts. Winds should decrease after 15/00z. Ceilings were highly variable overnight, but a general improvement is expected for the first part of the day until wrap-around clouds with MVFR bases arrive later this morning and into the afternoon. There is some uncertainty on how quickly these clouds will clear out tonight. Any areas which experience partial clearing tonight should see patchy fog development after due to light winds and moist ground conditions. Kanofsky && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES: MO...NONE.
