$$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 Oct 6, 12:49 PM CDT, 2 hours 41 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 6, 12:49 PM CDT, 2 hours 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 1249 PM CDT Fri Oct 6 2017 ...Updated Aviation Discussion... .SHORT TERM.../Today through Tonight/ Issued at 356 AM CDT Fri Oct 6 2017 Main focus will be on several chances of precipitation across the area today into tonight. A few light showers out there currently with another round expected to move into far southern Iowa through the mid morning hours as another push of theta-e advection becomes oriented into southern Iowa in vicinity of the sfc warm front currently stretched across the area. Associated sfc low stretches back to the southwest centered over SW KS currently. The sfc low will lift ENE into SW IA by this evening, and push into eastern IA as the upper trough exits the Rockies and digs into the central US by early Saturday. Precipitation is expected to become more widespread toward mid morning into the afternoon hours as an upper level shortwave trough ejects out ahead of the main upper level trough. This shortwave currently kicking off scattered showers and storms across central and western NE. As the sfc low approaches SW IA expect an area of thunderstorms to develop in vicinity of the sfc low/sfc trough axis and move through much of central/eastern IA by late afternoon/evening. MUCAPE values increase to around 1000 J/kg or higher, with stronger deep layer shear. An isolated strong to possibly severe storm will be possible in the far SW where CAPE values and shear values better. Otherwise precipitation potential the main issue with deep warm cloud depths and pwats pushing 1.5 to 2.0 inches across the southern half of the forecast area. Some areas across the south central to southwest have already had around 1 to nearly 3 inches of rain over the past 12 hours, and could see another widespread 1 to 2 inches through early Saturday morning. However with the efficient rainfall production expected and convective possibility, isolated higher amounts of 2 to 3+ inches will be possible. With lowered FFG values in the far southwest around 1 to 2.5 inches for 1 hr up to 6hr values. Therefore with the combination of several rounds of precip expected, efficient rainfall production, and lowered FFG due to antecedent conditions will issue a flash flood watch for the far southwestern portion of the forecast area through tonight. Def zone precip to wrap up through the forecast area late tonight as the sfc low lifts into NE IA with the back edge of the precip expected to be approaching western IA toward 12Z Saturday. .LONG TERM.../Saturday through Thursday/ Issued at 356 AM CDT Fri Oct 6 2017 Bottom Line Up Front... Uncertainty still reigns supreme in this long term fcst period. Sunday will be the warmest day of the week, with temperatures well into the 70s. Precip chances try to manifest Monday into Tuesday, followed by a cool-down into the middle of this week. This Weekend... 00z Fri ECMWF and GFS solutions remain stubborn in their respective outputs for departing the system described in the short-term out of the CWA. ECMWF still slower and deeper with the sfc low, the GFS is the fastest solution, and the rest of the models fall somewhere in between, though trends are favoring the ECMWF. Thus, have again held wrap-around precip into the afternoon period along and east of I-35. Cross sections picking up on near- sfc drier air punching in to increase sfc dwpt depressions, however, cloud thickness above 900mb around 2km, which is enough to justify keeping light rain mention...with only a few hundredths of QPF at most. Sunshine then returns for Sunday as dry air entrains into Iowa from the southwest. Monday and Beyond... As introduced last night, details become somewhat murky for Monday and beyond... Though Monday and Tuesday coming into slightly better focus. 00z ECMWF and 00z GFS slowly coming into agreement with featuring a longwave trough off a low near the Hudson Bay digging southwestward into the Four Corners region by 12z Mon. By 18z Tue, both models develop a westward-tilting cut- off low somewhere over the Midwest, with its sfc reflection pulling ahead. As was the case with Saturday afternoon, both these long- range operational models remain stubborn in their respective run- to-run solutions... The GFS is holding a more northern solution which would mean more rain for Iowa, whereas the ECMWF is holding a much more southerly solution that may actually leave Iowa out of any precip chances. The GEM more closely echos the ECMWF solution, as does the GFS Ensemble output. So have left precip in the forecast, but have removed 'likely' wording. Should the GFS solution pan out, precip looks mainly to be confined to the morning hours, and PWAT values around 1.5 to 1.75 inches, which when coupled with a decent slug of theta-e advection, 950 to 900mb frontogenetical forcing, and 850mb moisture convergence, would suggest a potential for a moderate amount of rainfall. Beyond Tuesday, the only thing to be confident about is a lack of confidence. Long-range model run-to-run consistency and agreement remain low. On a grander scale, a dominant and robust area of 850- 300mb anticyclonic flow sets up over the Gulf of Mexico. This will keep Iowa in westerly to southwesterly flow at 500mb through the remainder of the week. Models then struggle with trying to propagate a sfc high through the Midwest, where yesterday, there was a shortwave pushing through the Midwest.
