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 St. Louis, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 30, 3:45 PM CDT, 2 hours 44 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 30, 3:45 PM CDT, 2 hours 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
345 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Wednesday Night)
Issued at 215 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019

Periods of SHRA/TSRA are expected to continue through Wed
evening.

A warm front was bisecting MO this afternoon, and it is forecast
to continue lifting slowly northward this evening, aided by the
development of a surface low along the boundary. The surface low
will lift northeastward towards the Great Lakes tonight and
tomorrow, but its associated upper trough will simultaneously
de-amplify and also lift northeastward. The motion of the upper
trough and the lack of a strong high pressure center at the
surface means that the surface baroclinic zone will not be driven
through the region as a cold front but will instead stretch from
southwest to northeast as it lingers across the region.

Taken together, this means that not only will convection be
occurring within a very moist air mass, but that there will
likely be several rounds of SHRA/TSRA occurring over the same
areas until the front has finally pushed south of the region later
this week. Given that forecast PW values of 1.5+" are at +3 SD
for April and +2 SD for May, the primary concern through Wed night
is flooding due to repeated periods of heavy rainfall. The
existing Flash Flood Watch looks reasonable and no changes are
planned to it at this time.

There is also a concern for severe weather both this afternoon
and tomorrow. For this afternoon, one mitigating factor is that
the direction of the CAPE and 0-6km shear gradients are opposed:
where the CAPE values were increasing, the shear values were
decreasing, and vice versa. That said, there is sufficient overlap
for ongoing strong to severe thunderstorms to persist through
early evening. For tomorrow, H7-H5 lapse rates are more favorable
(around 7 deg C/km), but shear values are less favorable except
for a corridor across southern MO. This suggests that the risk for
severe weather on Wed would be less widespread compared to today.

Extensive cloud cover and precipitation should keep overnight lows
several degrees warmer than last night. Highs on Wed should be in
the 70s (similar to or warmer than they were today) due to the
slight northwestward movement of the re-oriented quasistationary
boundary. Overnight lows on Wed night should be in the mid-50s to
lower 60s which is similar to what they will have been tonight.

.LONG TERM...  (Thursday through Next Tuesday)
Issued at 215 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019

(Thursday)

Lots of uncertainty exists with respect to convective trends on
Thursday, and it will depend greatly on what occurs overnight
Wednesday night. Models show the lingering frontal boundary
finally beginning to move back to the south and east on Thursday
as a cold front. Like the previous couple of days, this front will
likely be the focus for convective development on Thursday. A few
strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Thursday afternoon,
mainly across portions of southeast Missouri and southwest
Illinois due to the expected frontal timing.

There is also low confidence in high temperatures on Thursday,
similar to convective trends due to uncertainty with frontal
placement/timing. However, general consensus is for highs to be
range from the mid 60s to mid 70s from northwest to southeast.

(Thursday Night - Saturday Night)

The cold front should exit the CWA by Thursday evening, but some
guidance suggests it may stall out just to the south of the area. If
this occurs, an additional round of showers and thunderstorms would
be possible Friday into Friday night for southern portions of the
forecast area.

A welcomed period of dry weather is likely for the most part Friday
night through Saturday night as an area of high pressure exerts its
influence into the mid-Mississippi Valley. Seasonable to slightly
below normal temperatures are also forecast for this same time
period.

(Sunday - Next Tuesday)

The next chance for showers and thunderstorms looks to be Sunday
afternoon and evening with the approach of the next cold front. This
boundary may also stall out just to the south of the area and waver,
providing the focus for additional rounds of showers and storms into
early next week. Obviously, this type of setup if it comes to
fruition could aggravate ongoing river flooding.

Temperatures are likely to remain near seasonal norms to end this
weekend and to begin the next work week, but will depend heavily on
where the baroclinic axis resides.

.AVIATION...  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1219 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019

SPECIFICS FOR KCOU, KUIN: Additional SHRA/TSRA are expected to
develop and affect the terminals, leading to a prolonged period of
unsettled weather. Conditions will temporarily deteriorate to
MVFR or lower during periods of SHRA/TSRA followed by a decrease
in the prevailing ceiling height after 01/00-03z once a broader
area of clouds moves over KCOU and KUIN. Initially easterly winds
will become southerly after a low pressure system lifts through
the region.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL, KSUS, KCPS: Scattered SHRA/TSRA may affect
the St. Louis area terminals for the next few hours followed by
additional periods of SHRA/TSRA during the remainder of the TAF
period. A gust front was noted on radar and the wind shift
associated with it has been timed out as arriving at the terminals
between 19-20z. Initially easterly to southeasterly winds will
become southerly to southwesterly after a low pressure system
lifts through the region.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of eastern and
central Missouri as well as west central and southwest Illinois.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Thunderstorms are likely through tonight. Some of the storms could
be severe, especially this afternoon through this evening. The
primary severe weather threats will be damaging winds, large hail,
and isolated tornadoes.

A flash flood watch remains in effect for the entire area tonight.
See the watch product for specific details.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

The chance of thunderstorms will continue through Friday night
across parts of the area. Some of the storms could be severe
Wednesday and Wednesday evening across the entire area, and again
Thursday and Thursday evening across southeast Missouri and southwest
Illinois. The primary severe weather threats will be damaging winds
and large hail.

The numerous rounds of storms will also result in the potential for
flooding through Wednesday night. A flash flood watch continues in
effect through Wednesday night. See the watch product for specific
details.

In addition to the flash flood threat, the prolonged and potentially
heavy rainfall is forecast to impact the mainstem rivers. A number
of river forecast points on the Mississippi River above Alton are
forecast to return to moderate or major flooding.

There will also be a chance of thunderstorms for parts of the area
Sunday through Monday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will likely be needed through this evening.
Spotters are encouraged to report any severe weather to the National
Weather Service.
