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 3, 6:54 PM CDT, 2 hours 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 3, 6:54 PM CDT, 2 hours 36 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
654 PM CDT Thu May 3 2018

.SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Friday/
Issued at 325 PM CDT Thu May 3 2018

The primary concern remains severe weather and heavy rain into
the evening hours. Elevated convection appears to be expanding
across northeast NE ahead of the approaching upper level low.
There is a pronounced elongated PV trough from NM into NE with one
short wave of note over far southwest NE and another driving this
convection over northeast NE. This deep, phased thermodynamic and
kinematic forcing will phase into a convective deformation zone
producing fairly widespread moderate to heavy rains over northern
Iowa, which is farther north than previously anticipated. The
heavy rain parameters are not extreme, but the extended period of
precip with low static stabilities will result in widespread 1-2
inch rains with a Flood Watch posted for expected rises along the
Cedar River at Cedar Falls. No Flash Flood Watch at the moment due
to rates not getting too crazy, but Flash Flood Guidance there is
fairly low due to recent rains and snow melt.

Farther south, severe weather will be the primary concern. 19Z
surface analysis notes the surface low near Manhattan KS with
objective analysis noting decent pressure falls into IA and warm
front just south of Des Moines. Discrete convection has recently
developed just ahead of the triple point and is expected to move
into southwest IA over the next several hours. Most convection
allowing models /CAMs/ are similar with this progression bringing
a broken line of discrete convection across southern Iowa during
the early evening hours. There will certainly be a window for
severe potential with extreme deep shear values resulting in large
hail and wind potential, and mid level lapse rates and
DCAPE/delta theta-e values all increase respectively. The tornado
window is not great or long lasting, but forecast soundings and
RAP plan views suggest better low level kinematics ahead of the
triple point in terms of ESRH and 0-1km shear and well as lower
LCLs due to lingering fog and stratus. Thus the tornado threat in
the current Severe Thunderstorm Watch is likely better in our
northern portions and other parts of southern Iowa.

CAMs suggest the broken line will exit our forecast area by +/-
03z but the deformation zone precip may linger through midnight.
Tomorrow will provide a welcome relief to our recent active
weather with plenty of sunshine and seasonal temperatures as
strong subsidence and drying follow this system.

.LONG TERM.../Friday night through Thursday/
Issued at 325 PM CDT Thu May 3 2018

The main concern over the extended period was focused temperatures
and low chances of storms Saturday into Saturday night. Leaned
toward a blend of the GFS/ECMWF throughout the extended period as
models remain in good agreement.

Northwest flow aloft becomes the dominant weather feature over the
weekend into early next week before a strong 500mb shortwave
pushes across the region by Tuesday into Wednesday. There is a
weak cold front to push across the state Saturday night and will
spawn some convection late in the afternoon over northern Iowa and
then further south during the evening hours. Low potential for
any widespread severe threat as the better instability is further
south and the better forcing (albeit weak) remains in the north
late Saturday afternoon with the front. Certainly cannot rule out
an isolated hail threat, but any widespread coverage of severe
storms is unlikely. With the front slightly slower to move across
the by Saturday evening, nudged up maximum temperatures a little
on Saturday.

Cooler temperatures back into the state by Sunday as a surface
high pressure builds into the region through Monday. Dry and
mild temperatures likely through the middle of the week.

&&

.AVIATION.../For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening/
Issued at 653 PM CDT Thu May 3 2018

Main concern is convection with strong winds and lower cigs/vsby.
Looks like the main area will be east of KDSM by 05-06z and KOTM
by 06-08z. Back edge and lobe of rainfall may affect KFOD through
06z-08z as well as KMCW/KALO through 09-10z. Rain and -TSRA/+TSRA
at times through 05z with -SHRA/-TSRA remainder of convection.
Conditions quiet down aft 12-14z most areas with NW flow and VFR
conditions for the remainder of the period. /rev
