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 Sioux Falls, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jul 14, 10:33 PM CDT, 2 hours 6 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 14, 10:33 PM CDT, 2 hours 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD 1033 PM CDT Sat Jul 14 2018 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday) Issued at 244 PM CDT Sat Jul 14 2018 Relatively quiet weather expected tonight into Sunday with surface high pressure across the Upper Midwest slowly shifting east. With light winds and a clearing sky across northwest Iowa, could once again see patchy fog develop across northwest Iowa where most abundant low level moisture remains. Cold front currently in northwestern South Dakota approaches the forecast area on Sunday. Potentially a weak mid level wave moving along the front may lead to showers and storms across central South Dakota. Can not rule out an isolated shower or storm further to the east, but expect activity to remain fairly isolated in nature. Storms closer to the front will have a bit more potential to produce a bit more rainfall with higher pwat values, but given storms should be isolated - scattered in nature, do not see a need at this point to highlight the potential. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday) Issued at 244 PM CDT Sat Jul 14 2018 Boundary is expected to stall just south of the forecast area on Monday leading to a relatively pleasant day. As boundary starts to bubble back to the north Monday night, could see a few elevated storms develop in the Missouri River Valley early Tuesday morning. Lapse rates aloft are nearly moist adiabatic, leading to a meager amount of instability. A series of wave are expected to move across the region Tuesday night into Wednesday. The ECMWF phases the waves together, while the GFS keeps the initial wave separate and further to the south. Best chances of precipitation with the leading wave appear to be across the south near the South Dakota/Nebraska border if there is an impact to our forecast area. Wave moves across the area during the day on Wednesday, leading to a cool and wet day. Instability and shear appear to be weak, so am not expecting much beyond showers and thunderstorms moving across the region. Behind the wave, upper ridge across the west builds across the western half of the US leading to dry and temperate conditions. Another trough moves across central Canada next weekend, though the upper ridge will keep much of that system bottled to the north. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night) Issued at 1032 PM CDT Sat Jul 14 2018 Quiet overnight period expected weather-wise. Could see some patchy fog Sunday morning around daybreak in NW Iowa but kept mention at KSUX minimal with declining signals in the models. A cold front will swing through the region during the daytime hours switching winds to more northerly and bringing a small chance at hit or miss showers or perhaps a thunderstorm. Chances and confidence are too low to warrant anything more than a VCSH mention at this time. && .FSD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...None. MN...None. IA...None.
