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 Twin Cities, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jul 1, 7:09 AM CDT, 2 hours 32 minutes earlier.

Updated to include 12z aviation discussion below.

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 446 AM CDT Mon Jul 1 2019

Surface analysis early this morning shows a cold front emanating
from a surface low over Hudson Bay extending southwest through
northeast MN into southwestern MN. A quasi-stationary surface
front which has remained generally in place from the central
Plains through the Upper Mississippi River Valley into the Ohio
Valley persists, residing nearly atop the MN/IA border. A low
pressure center is analyzed along it over the small portion of the
SD border with IA. Aloft, relative zonal flow is in place from the
northern Rockies to the Great Lakes while moisture surges into the
region from the Baja Cali region, on the western fringes of the
flattened upper level ridge. Also, an upper level low is rotating
over Hudson Bay, spinning a few shortwave trough axes on its
southern periphery.

With the upper level low expected to remain with a zonal E-W
trajectory through tomorrow, the slowly-progressing cold front
will push across MN/WI this morning. However, the E-W oriented
surface front to the south will remain in place. With this
continued low-level focus in place while moisture continues to
surge in from the southwest along with kicker shortwaves aloft
around the large rotating low, chances are high for continued
showers and thunderstorms through early Tuesday morning. KMPX
radar this morning continues to show areas of rain and
thunderstorms, some of which are producing heavy rain, and these
areas will slowly move east through this morning. Given rainfall
amounts of 2-4" already across much of southern MN, it will not
take much to exceed FFG, especially with PWATs still in the
1.8"-2.0" range. As such, will maintain a Flash Flood Watch over
much of southern MN through midday. Rainfall is expected to taper
off to more widely scattered showers this afternoon. However,
CAMs continue to show another round of rain and thunderstorms,
potentially taking on the form of another well-organized MCS this
evening (similar to what was experienced late Sunday evening).
Therefore, the potential continues for another round of severe
weather in southern MN with damaging winds and large hail. SPC
continues to highlight southern MN in a Slight Risk and this is
certainly reasonable for this evening.

The low pressure center analyzed along the stalled front will
slowly shift ESE into northwest Iowa by Tuesday evening, which
will allow precipitation chances to gradually diminish from late
tonight through the day tomorrow. While heavy rain cannot be ruled
out for tomorrow in an isolated fashion, severe weather chances
become nil tomorrow with the departure of the surface low and much
weaker upper level support.

As for temperatures, the frontal and precip complications for
today will mean rather extensive cloud cover throughout the day
today so highs will run on the cooler side. Look for max temps in
the mid 70s to mid 80s. With more sporadic precip chances tomorrow
along with less frontal influence, more breaks in the overcast can
be expected. As such, highs will run a little warmer over, in the
low-mid 80s across the WFO MPX coverage area.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 446 AM CDT Mon Jul 1 2019

The idea of having scattered showers/thunderstorms through the
rest of the week and the upcoming weekend has not changed and is
reflected in the latest forecast.

The stalled surface front to the south will generally remain in
place through at least Thursday while another cold front looks to
push through the MN/WI region Wednesday-Thursday. This will keep
the highly moist atmosphere in place along with the low-level
focus for additional showers/thunderstorms over southern MN into
western WI. While severe chances are low, they cannot be ruled out
altogether as the highly unstable atmosphere will be susceptible
to nearly no capping and any appreciable impulse aloft would be
capable of producing isolated strong/severe storms. In addition,
the multiple moisture sources of the Pacific plus Baja regions
will still have pathways to bring ample moisture into the region
for decent rainfall.

By late week, with the passage of the cold front, weak high
pressure will move into the Upper Mississippi River Valley region
for the end of the week into the weekend. This will help reduce
precipitation chances to the 20/30 percent range along with
bringing in a bit cooler/drier airmass into the region. Will look
for highs to drop to the mid 80s to lower 80s for the end of the
week and the weekend. Precipitation chances can't be eliminated
altogether due to several disturbances aloft which look to pass
through the region but widespread precipitation and severe weather
is not expected at this time.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday morning)
Issued at 640 AM CDT Mon Jul 1 2019

Wide swath of mainly VFR showers moving across the area with
limited TS/CB. This swath looks to move across the area and
diminish late morning into early afternoon. Convective models then
appear to have a consensus that another organized thunderstorm
threat, potentially another MCS, looks to develop this evening in
west-central MN then drive ESE across the area. Have indicated as
such via late afternoon to evening TEMPO groups. Uncertainty in
the strength/direction of winds generally prevents inclusion in a
TEMPO but a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms is maintained over
southern MN into tonight. MVFR to IFR conditions are possible in
such thunderstorms.

KMSP...Winds are mostly disturbed due to ongoing shower activity
and is likely to settle back to NE by midday from their currently
westerly direction. Still could see highly amplified winds this
evening with another organized thunderstorm cluster. Thunderstorms
then may well persist into much of the evening and overnight hours
before waning prior to daybreak Tuesday morning.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
Tue-Thu...VFR. Chc MVFR/TSRA. Winds LGT and VRB.

There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms south of a line
from Redwood Falls to the Twin Cities to Eau Claire, with a
Marginal Risk of severe thunderstorms north of the Slight Risk
area to a line from Montevideo to Saint Cloud to Rice Lake. The
main hazards are damaging winds and large hail.

In addition, some thunderstorms may produce heavy rain which could
lead to localized flooding.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Periods of thunderstorms are expected for much of next week. The
potential for severe weather is low at this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SKYWARN spotter activation may be needed this afternoon into
tonight.
