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 Jun 24, 6:40 PM CDT, 1 hour 3 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 6:40 PM CDT, 1 hour 3 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
640 PM CDT Wed Jun 24 2015

.SHORT TERM:  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 343 PM CDT Wed Jun 24 2015

Weak frontal boundary is slowly lifting north through forecast area
this afternoon. Main question is where will the boundary be by
tonight as this determines where the best chances of precipitation
are for the forecast area. Both 12z NAM and GFS have frontal
boundary extending from surface low over southwestern Iowa by 00z
this evening extending to the east then curve to the southeast along
the Mississippi River. With decent low level jet and moisture
pooling along front, will see MCS develop north of boundary and
track along it. Corfdi vectors have complex slide south southeast
through northeast MO/west central IL late tonight. Will advise
evening shift that pops may need to be raised further south if
complex turns sooner. Will see a sharp gradient on qpf with this
system, ranging from a quarter of an inch to near an inch in west
central Illinois. Creeks and streams in this area are running
bankful in some locations due to the heavy rain, between 1 and 3
inches, that fell overnight and this morning. As for severe chances,
with decent instability, lapse rates and shear, could see severe
storms develop with main threats being large hail, damaging winds,
as well as a few tornadoes. SPC has put northeast MO/west central
IL in a slight risk with a smaller portion of this area on the
southern periphery of an enhanced risk. Otherwise, a mild night on
hand with lows only in the low to mid 70s.

Byrd

.LONG TERM:  (Thursday through Next Wednesday)
Issued at 343 PM CDT Wed Jun 24 2015

Frontal boundary to begin moving slowly south into forecast area
on Thursday. Will see several shortwaves move along boundary
through Friday night. Best chances of rain will be Thursday night
through Friday. Some concern about rainfall amounts with this
system, could see an inch or two with locally higher amounts
possible, will just depend on how fast or slow system moves
through. It appears to be a fairly progressive system onces in
starts moving through.

Precipitation will taper off Friday night and will see cooler and
drier weather for the weekend. Next chance for rain will be Sunday
night through Wednesday with several rounds expected once again on
active northwest flow aloft. Highs during the weekend will be in the
mid to upper 70s, then moderate a bit by Tuesday.

Byrd

&&

.AVIATION:  (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Thursday Evening)
Issued at 625 PM CDT Wed Jun 24 2015

Potential for showers and thunderstorms is main focus this forecast
cycle. Present indications are the evening should be dry. Overnight
however the current thinking is thunderstorms well spread southeast
out of IA and impact northeast MO and west central IL including
KUIN. There could be several rounds of storms overnight into the
morning hours in this area, some of which could be strong with
gusty winds and brief heavy rain. Futher south it appears the
weather will remain tranquil with VFR flight conditions dominating
through the period. Surface winds could be tricky - they should
veer overnight and become gusty from the southwest on Thursday
morning, however outflow from thunderstorms could progress well
south and impact the wind direction on Thursday morning.

Specifics for KSTL:

VFR flight conditions are expected through 00z Thursday evening. Present
thinking is that thunderstorms late tonight and Thursday morning will
remain to the north and northeast of the terminal. Surface winds will
gradually veer overnight and become gusty from the southwest on Thursday
morning. Will however need to monitor the outflow from thunderstorms
to our north, which could progress well south and impact the wind
direction on Thursday morning.
