$$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 Des Moines, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 20, 3:29 PM CDT, 5 hours 6 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 20, 3:29 PM CDT, 5 hours 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 329 PM CDT Sat May 20 2017 .SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Sunday/ Issued at 328 PM CDT Sat May 20 2017 Surface low has tracked into west central Iowa this afternoon with the bulk of moisture advection shifting northward into Minnesota along with the rainfall. A surface trof axis is swinging through southwest Iowa and into the forecast area with a narrow line of light showers/sprinkles along the interface. While this overall setup would typically be cause for concern, the lack of overall instability will likely keep the event in check. However, the past hour has seen some increased insolation near this trof as cloud coverage has decreased in vicinity of the wind shift. SPC mesoanalysis also indicates some increase in mixed layer CAPE and will continue to watch the evolution of this into the late afternoon. If the cap erodes sufficiently, then a few cells may develop with the potential for a brief tornado spin-up before sunset in a local maximum of effective helicity near the trof axis. The low will lift northward into Minnesota overnight with forcing waning across the state. Any shower activity tonight will be limited across the far north with much of the area remaining dry. Otherwise, broad status field associated with the upper low will cross the state overnight into Sunday with partial clearing only toward the end of the period as the cyclonic flow subsides. Temperatures will remain below normal through Sunday with thermal trof passing through the state tonight as any warming limited on Sunday given the cloud cover. .LONG TERM.../Sunday night through Saturday/ Issued at 328 PM CDT Sat May 20 2017 Sunday night should remain dry though we will still be under the influence of the low. A shortwave pivoting around the low will drop down across Iowa beginning late Sunday night/Monday morning. The question is whether more subtle waves that the models are hinting at will pass through the state in the overnight. At this point I'm thinking that even if this does happen, it will result mainly in cloud cover versus precip. During the day Monday the shortwave pivots into the state and we will actually be dealing with this for several days. A ridge will be steepening over the Rockies which will act to deepen the trough over us and slow it's progression. The effect of which will be to keep precip going over us Monday afternoon through Tuesday. On Monday a cold front will sweep across the state and while shear is marginal, the instability is sufficient for thunderstorms. In addition, we do have some forcing and a narrow ribbon of theta-e advection ahead of the boundary. SPC outlook for Monday has a marginal risk in place for hail which appears reasonable. On Tuesday we'll see some wrap around precip across mainly northern Iowa as the upper low pulls out and we'll see relatively cool temps Tuesday and Wednesday. We will then be under the influence of the upper ridge until Friday when a stronger shortwave breaks down the ridge and brings a chance for precip to the area mainly in the afternoon. This will allow a stronger low over the Rockies to shift into the region however that far out models have pretty large discrepancies but it will lead to periods of rain over the Memorial Day weekend. For now I went with model blends since there is no favored solution yet. && .AVIATION.../For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon/ Issued at 1239 PM CDT Sat May 20 2017 Large upper low will gradually cross the upper Midwest through the forecast period. Widespread MVFR to IFR ceilings are expected for much of the forecast although some improvement is forecast late in the period, especially in southern Iowa. Surface winds will gradually veer from the east to southwest overnight and westerly by Sunday. Precipitation the is restricting visibilities in the north will gradually end by this evening as the surface low pulls out of the state. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
