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.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 21, 6:30 AM CDT, 4 hours 38 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL
630 AM CDT Sun Oct 21 2018

...AVIATION UPDATE...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 231 AM CDT Sun Oct 21 2018

06Z surface data has high pressure from the Great Lakes into the
southern Plains. Dew points were in the 20s from the Great Lakes
into the northern Plains.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
ISSUED AT 231 AM CDT Sun Oct 21 2018

Quiet, dry, and chilly conditions will be seen across the area today
and tonight with an gradual increase in clouds tonight. Temperatures
will average below normal.

Breezy conditions are expected to develop late this morning and
through mid-afternoon once the inversion breaks. The strongest winds
should be west of the Mississippi.

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday)
ISSUED AT 231 AM CDT Sun Oct 21 2018

Quiet and cool fall weather will dominate most of the long term
period, with low chances of precipitation late week.

Monday through Wednesday: Monday will likely be the warmest day of
the week with 850mb temps approaching 10C ahead of the next dry
fropa. Expect near normal highs in the upper 50s/low 60s. Tuesday
and Wednesday will be dry and cool with highs only in the upper
40s/low 50s.

Thursday through Saturday: Synoptic models still showing
inconsistency in handling an upper trough ejecting out of the
southwest CONUS. Cannot rule out some spotty light rain Thursday
into Friday, but amounts and coverage will be low. Chances appear a
bit better for late Friday into Saturday, especially considering the
21/00Z GEM and GFS, which have a more pronounced central CONUS
trough than the ECMWF. 20-30 percent pops look reasonable for this
period with low confidence out on day 6/7.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday Morning)
ISSUED AT 628 AM CDT Sun Oct 21 2018

VFR conditions will be seen through 12z/22 as high pressure moves
into the Ohio Valley and a cold front approaches from the Plains.

LLWS is forecast after 00z/22 as strong low level winds aloft
develop ahead of the approaching cold front.
