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 15, 12:07 PM CST, 43 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 15, 12:07 PM CST, 43 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
1207 PM CST TUE DEC 15 2015

.SHORT TERM:  (Through Late This Afternoon)
Issued at 316 AM CST Tue Dec 15 2015

Clouds and resultant temps are the primary concern for today. Low
clouds have blanketed most of the CWA during the predawn hours,
although low cloud satellite imagery indicates that the edge of
this cloudiness is slowly working northeast across the Ozarks.
Extrapolation of this clearing line suggests the edge of of the
clouds will stretch from just south of KCOU to just north of FAM
by 12z. Latest HRRR sky cover forecasts have picked up on this
trend, but it also wants to redevelop some cloudiness over the
eastern Ozarks during the morning, which may be an indication of
some redevelopment of fog and stratus in areas that clear early
today.

In any event, increasing southeast flow ahead of next system
should cause fairly rapid northward clearing/erosion of this low
cloudiness during the afternoon over about the southeast half of
the CWA, with the expectation that the edge of the clouds will be
roughly from KMYJ-KSTL-KSLO by mid afternoon.

Obviously, high temps will be highly dependent on the exact
clouds trends. Generally went towards the warmest MAV guidance
over our southwest counties while leaning to the cooler MET
numbers over the northeast part of our CWA. This yields a tight
temp gradient of about 15 degrees from north to south across the
FA...which seems appropriate for this situation.

Truett

.LONG TERM:  (Tonight through Monday)
Issued at 316 AM CST Tue Dec 15 2015

A large low pressure system over the central plains will lift
northeastward tonight, bringing a chance of rain to parts of
MO/IL after midnight. The trailing cold front then moves across
the CWA on Wed and Wed night while the parent low pressure system
begins to occlude over IA/MN/WI. There are some hints that a
smaller secondary vort max may move through the base of the
trough and pass through AR on Wed night and Thu, but no impact is
expected for the LSX CWA attm. Temperatures on Thu and Fri will
be closer to seasonal values compared to the record-setting warm
temperatures over the last few days.

Meanwhile, a separate and distinct vort max dives southeastward
out of BC on Wed and reinforces the trough over the central CONUS
on Thu. A couple of vorticity maxima are expected to move across
the area on Thu night into Fri, but no pcpn is expected from
these features attm because moisture will have been shunted off
to the east by the previous system. Skies may be slow to clear
towards the end of the week due to persistent cyclonic flow aloft
through early Friday evening.

By 12z Sat, a surface ridge axis will be centered over central
MO, and both the surface high pressure center and an upper ridge
will be shifting eastward during the day. This will bring a
return of southerly to southwesterly flow across the CWA on Sat
night and especially on Sun which will contribute to a
significant warm-up. Another low pressure system is expected to
move across the area early next, bringing a chance of rain and
perhaps some isolated thunderstorms to the area.

.AVIATION:  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1146 AM CST Tue Dec 15 2015

Primary concern for today is low ceilings across much of the area.
Seeing erosion in the stratus from the southwest...however moist
low level flow from the southeast is fighting with the clearing.
Think the clearing will continue from the southwest, but may slow
as it encounters deeper moisture...and it may not get much further
north than a line from KIRK to KSTL to KSLO before 00Z. A strong
low pressure system will move north of the region tonight. Showers
will precede the cold front associated with the low...and ceilings
will likely be MVFR...probably with some areas of IFR as well.
Cooler and much drier air will move in behind the front on
Wednesday which should finally scour out the low level moisture.

Specifics for KSTL:

Watching low clouds trying to clear from the southwest very
closely this afternoon. Am concerned that cool moist southeast
flow will keep stratus around longer than currently forecast, but
the latest satellite trends do indicate that the clouds should
scatter out around 22Z. Once ceilings do scatter out, VFR
conditions should prevail until late this evening or overnight
when showers will develop ahead of the cold front. May see
conditions drop down to MVFR with the showers and the front...but
prefered to be optomistic at this time. Gusty southwest flow will
prevail Wednesday behind the front which will cause crosswind
issues on the main runways.
