$$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 Aug 20, 7:04 AM CDT, 3 hours 27 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 20, 7:04 AM CDT, 3 hours 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 704 AM CDT Tue Aug 20 2019 .SHORT TERM... (Through Late Wednesday Afternoon) Issued at 402 AM CDT Tue Aug 20 2019 The primary focus in the short term is the MCS developing over Iowa at this time, and where it will move today. The latest radar loop from KDMX is already showing the discrete storms that developed earlier growing upscale into what's starting to look like a solid line. SPC mesoanalysis shows 4000-5000 J/Kg MUCAPE across southern/central Iowa, and more than 4000 J/Kg MUCAPE extending southeast all the way to the Mississippi River in east central Missouri. With that kind of instability and effective bulk shear in excess of 40kts the storms should have little trouble continuing to organize. The forward propagating Corfidi vectors are pointing to the east-southeast, so expect the echomass to start taking a right turn toward northeast Missouri and west central Illinois over the next hour or two as the MCS continues to strengthen. As it develops a rear inflow jet a strong cold pool should develop, forcing continuing southeastward development along the axis of highest instability. Incidentally...there's also a minimum of MUCINH along the axis of MUCAPE. The RAP does shift the axis of MUCAPE further to the northeast through 12-14Z nearer to northeast Missouri and western Illinois...however, models are showing rapid destabilization of the boundary layer after sunrise, so the MCS should have plenty of juice to maintain it as it moves south, and it's likely the strong cold pool will force development to the southwest as well. The primary threat should be damaging wind in excess of 60 mph, but some large hail and an isolated tornado or two can't be ruled out either. This MCS should suppress temperatures today, which otherwise would likely be at least as warm as yesterday if not warmer. It should still warm up quickly ahead of the storms, and temperatures will likely rebound behind the system late this morning and afternoon. However I think we'll avoid the mid 90s with most locations topping out in the mid to upper 80s. Tonight looks relatively quiet with weak ridging aloft and the low level jet focused over the Plains. There may be an isolated shower or storm after midnight as guidance is showing some weak low level moisture convergence. It looks like this moisture convergence may be due to the approaching cold front which should move into Missouri on Wednesday, but forcing looks pretty weak so only slight chance PoPs are warranted for late tonight. The aforementioned cold front is forecast so drift into Missouri on Wednesday. While forecast instability is pretty impressive with 4000+ J/Kg MLCAPE Wednesday afternoon, the shear is 10-20kts over eastern Missouri and western/central Illinois. Wouldn't be surprised to see a few severe thunderstorms pulse up in the afternoon, but organized severe weather like we're likely to see today doesn't seem likely. Highs Wednesday will probably be a little warmer than today, especially along and south of I-70, and dew point pooling ahead of the front will make it pretty humid. Storms should provide some relief, but heat index values will probably approach 100-104 along and south of I-70. Carney .LONG TERM... (Wednesday Night through Monday) Issued at 402 AM CDT Tue Aug 20 2019 There's some disagreement in the models on where the effective front and convection will be on Wednesday evening. Both the GFS and NAM show another short wave aloft moving from the eastern Plains into Missouri late Wednesday afternoon or evening. The GFS is faster and shows a stronger wave than the NAM, and therefore the cold front on the GFS is further south than the NAM has it. The differences between model solutions really aren't that large in synoptic terms, but could have large impacts on precipitation chances Wednesday night. Elevated instability on the GFS is quickly forced south into far southern Missouri by 06Z while the NAM keeps 1500-2000 J/Kg MUCAPE along and south of I-70 all night. Regardless, Wednesday evening at least looks potentially wet with a continuing chance of rain after midnight. The ECMWF tends to support the wetter solution as well, so high chance to likely PoPs continue to look appropriate. Guidance has been consistently amplifying the upper level pattern Thursday into Friday as a deepening low over southeast Canada pushes the cold front south-southwest through Illinois and Missouri and high pressure builds into the Great Lakes. The latest GFS is faster with this process than the ECMWF, and keeps Thursday and Friday mostly dry, however the EC has been more consistent and is supported by the Canadian model so will keep rain chances in for both days. Rain chances diminish to just slights during the weekend under the influence of the high due to lower temperatures and dew points. Highs from Thursday through the weekend look mild in the upper 70s to low 80s as compared with the fist half of the week. The high over the Great Lakes moves east Sunday night into Monday allowing return flow back into the mid Mississippi Valley bringing highs back into the mid and upper 80s and increasing humidity. Carney && .AVIATION... (For the 12z TAFs through 12z Wednesday Morning) Issued at 701 AM CDT Tue Aug 20 2019 The line of thunderstorms southeast Iowa is expected to build southeastward through our forecast area today. IFR flight conditions, wind gusts in excess of 50kts, large hail, and possibly a few tornadoes will accompany this line of storms. VFR conditions are expected outside of thunderstorms.
