What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood watch went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS St. Louis, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood watch went out at May 21, 12:55 AM CDT, 2 hours 45 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 21, 12:55 AM CDT, 2 hours 45 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 1255 AM CDT Tue May 21 2019 .UPDATE... Issued at 945 PM CDT Mon May 20 2019 Grids have been updated to better reflect the spatial extent (central into NE MO) and character (SHRA with embedded TSRA) of precipitation across the western part of the LSX CWA. Kanofsky && .SHORT TERM... (Through Late Tuesday Night) Issued at 326 PM CDT Mon May 20 2019 Elevated convection will spread eastward into our forecast area later this evening and overnight as a strong southerly low level jet brings relatively strong low level warm air advection, theta-e advection and moisture convergence particularly to northeast and central MO into west central IL where the highest QPF is expected. Some locally heavy rainfall is possible in this area. The surface wind will actually strengthen late tonight as the surface pressure gradient tightens between the surface ridge over the Great Lakes region and the developing surface low over the OK Panhandle region. Will get a break in the convection late Tuesday morning and early afternoon, then a line of severe convection will move rapidly eastward through our forecast area late Tuesday afternoon and evening as a warm front lifts northward through our region with increasing surface dew points and instability along and south of the front while a surface trough...dry line approaches from the west. There will be strong low-mid level wind shear due to an 80 kt mid level wind max east-southeast of the negatively tilted upper level trough/low along with at least modest instability. The primary threats will be damaging winds and tornadoes. Even outside of the storms the winds will be very strong and gusty Tuesday afternoon and early evening. Convection should weaken late Tuesday night, but will continue across southeast MO and southwest IL. GKS .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Next Monday) Issued at 326 PM CDT Mon May 20 2019 Warmer temperatures are forecast for Wednesday as upper level heights slowly rise coupled with south/southwest surface/low level winds. Another round of convection is likely Wednesday night into Thursday morning along a weak cold front which will drop southeastward into our forecast area. It looks like the highest chance for showers/storms will be across northeast MO and west central IL. The warming trend will continue as an upper level ridge builds into MO and IL from the southeastern US. Northeast MO and west central IL will be the most likely area for convection Friday and into the weekend as this upper level ridge flattens some with weak synoptic fronts or thunderstorm outflow boundaries sagging southward into this area along with weak "ridge runner" shortwaves over-topping the upper level ridge in this area. GKS && .AVIATION... (For the 06z TAFs through 06z Tuesday Night) Issued at 1211 AM CDT Tue May 21 2019 SPECIFICS FOR KCOU, KUIN: A broad area of rain with scattered embedded thunderstorms was affecting KCOU and KUIN at TAF issuance. Rain will continue at both terminals until the parent thunderstorm complex has moved farther away from the region. After a break in the rain after 21/14z, another line of TSRA is expected to develop and move through the terminals after 21/19z. Winds will be gusty even outside of thunderstorms, and both the wind speeds and the wind gusts will tend to increase with time. Initially VFR ceilings are expected to fall to MVFR at both terminals by 21/12z. SPECIFICS FOR KSTL, KSUS, KCPS: The northern end of a line of thunderstorms was located over central MO at TAF issuance. This line will continue moving eastward over the next few hours, accompanied by a broader area of SHRA with scattered embedded TSRA. Winds will be gusty outside of the thunderstorms, and the wind speeds and gusts will tend to increase with time during the valid TAF period because wind speeds aloft will be increasing. After a break in the rain during the day, another line of TSRA is expected to develop and move through the terminals after 21/22z. Kanofsky && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...None.
