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 Quad Cities, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Oct 9, 6:48 AM CDT, 4 hours 38 minutes earlier.

...12Z AVIATION UPDATE...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 355 AM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018

As of 2am, a band of showers and embedded storms was streaming NE
across NW sections of Benton and Buchanan counties with a few
small showers between Iowa City and Dubuque. Estimated rainfall
amounts in the heavier activity were in the 0.50 to 1 inch range.
The rest of the CWA has remained dry overnight. Temperatures were
in the mid 60s to lower 70s, with dew points in the 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
ISSUED AT 355 AM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018

A quasi-stationary front across western IA into SE MN will ever so
slowly move into central IA today and tonight as some disturbances
ride up along it. It now appears it will finally move through the
area Wednesday morning and early afternoon. Have trimmed PoPs back
in the near term based on radar trends and some CAMs keeping the
SE half dry through midday. This afternoon PoPs gradually ramp up
from west to east becoming likely in the NW CWA late this
afternoon/early evening. Wind profiles and the moist/unstable air
mass will support severe storms late this afternoon well into the
night. The SPC has a Slight Risk for areas west of a line from
Carthage to Freeport. The main threats will be damaging winds and
a few tornadoes. With the ground across the area so saturated, it
is conceivable that some sub-severe wind gusts may uproot some
trees. In addition, heavy rainfall will still be possible;
especially in areas that see more than one round of storms move
through. The bulk of the precip will come late tonight into Wed
morning. It still appears that some local swaths of 1 to 2 inches
is still possible. We have expanded the flash flood watch to
include the entire area and extended it until Wednesday early
afternoon. Temperatures today will once again be more indicative
of summer, with highs in the mid 70s to mid 80s. It will still be
humid as well. Lows will be in the 60s.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
ISSUED AT 355 AM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018

Wednesday afternoon, the front will sweep though the area replacing
the rainy conditions with gusty west winds and falling temps.
Temperatures will be falling through the day, with mid 40s and 50s
by the evening commute, with slightly colder wind chills.

Thursday, cold and blustery conditions are expected with highs in
the mid 40s to lower 50s. By Friday morning, lows will be in the
low to mid 30s. Highs Friday will only be in the 40s.

Saturday afternoon into Monday, a system lifts out of the southwest
phasing with a clipper from the northwest.  This brings rain back
into the forecast for Sat through Sun.  Another cold shot into early
next week, with lows in the 30s again.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday Morning)
ISSUED AT 643 AM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018

Scattered showers and storms will lift northeast this morning
near and west of DBQ and CID terminals. Then more widespread
showers and storms are expected tonight into Wednesday AM ahead
of an approaching cold front. A few severe storms with strong
winds will be the main threat. Conditions in the precipitation
will lower into MVFR to IFR, and largely remain VFR outside of
the rain areas. Winds may become gusty at the Mississippi River
TAF sites later today and tonight at 10-20 kts.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 317 PM CDT Mon Oct 8 2018

Forecasts for heavy rain in central Iowa to northeast Iowa are
continuing, and have not changed much. However, as this event
falls into the 48hr QPF that is used to produce river forecasts.
With moderate to heavy rain amounts falling last night, especially
over northeast Iowa the new rain is combining with the QPF to
produce crests that are much higher than issued yesterday. This is
due to the process, not because the heavy rain isn't already
forecast.

For our rivers, the Cedar River is now forecast to see greatly
increasing flows by day 2, resulting in a steady rise to 19.7
feet at Cedar Rapids, which is major. The category of major is
highly confident, though the exact crest value may change as the
we see the rain accumulate / run off.

The same is confidence on a significant rise is true for routed water
on the Wapsipinicon, Des Moines, Skunk, and Iowa basins. For the
Iowa, outflow from Coralville Dam is around 10-11Kcfs. This
helping rise Iowa City back to minor flood today, and with some
COE variation, it will rise and fall over flood stage the next
several days. Just downstream, the English River, which has had
it's stage and flow confirmed, is near crest, about 2 feet over
major flood status. This is combining with the Iowa River, to
bring a continued rise well above major flood near Lone Tree. That
Lone Tree major flood status should not drop much for the next
5-6 days. This will continue to bring major flooding down through
the lower Iowa basin this week.

With all tributaries seeing high level, rises, and in many case
major river flooding, and even the upstream portions of the
Mississippi upstream seeing heavy rainfall tonight through
Tuesday night, the big river will see some very significant rises
as well. For now, though minor flooding may be possible from
Dubuque through Bellevue, the portions most likely to flood are
from Camanche downstream. With the major flooding on the
Wapsipinicon and Rock, with high water from the Turkey and
Maquoketa, the main stem Mississippi is forecast to reach major
flood status from Rock Island, downstream. This resulted in
increase flood forecasts downstream where sites were already
forecast to reach major flood as well.
