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 6, 6:34 AM CDT, 10 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 6, 6:34 AM CDT, 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 634 AM CDT Sat Jul 6 2019 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday) Issued at 402 AM CDT Sat Jul 6 2019 No issues during the short term as one of the nicest weekends we have seen all year is expected, with highs near 80 and dewpoints back down into the mid 50s to lower 60s with mostly clear skies, MN/WI summer perfection! Main change we've seen over the last 24 hours is with the shortwave moving across southwest NoDak on water vapor overnight. Everything, including the ECMWF is in line with this shortwave shearing out and being of little consequence for us today. In addition, weak dry air advection on light north winds through the day will help suppress the instability south into IA and southern WI, so we'll have a nice day with lower humidity and no MCVs to try and forecast the placement and movement of. These nice weather conditions will continue for tonight and Sunday as high pressure slowly slides by to our north. In fact, it's windows open type weather with dewpoints remaining comfortable and lows tonight getting down into the 50s and lower 60s, with highs only topping out around 80. The one thing to watch for precip is out in western MN Sunday afternoon. They'll be getting into return flow and better moisture by the afternoon, with some instability building. The large scale forcing in terms of the LLJ is way out in the central/western Dakotas, but the slight increase in dewpoints will result in enough instability developing out by the SoDak border Sunday afternoon that you can't completely rule out an isolated shower developing out there. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 402 AM CDT Sat Jul 6 2019 The longer term concerns remain timing of next short wave trough for midweek period and then warming trend into next weekend. Latest model trends continue show increasing moisture and instability into at least the MN portion of the CWA during the day Monday. The ECMWF has become more progressive with the wave developing Tue/Wed and has pretty much switched places with the GFS. The 00z GFS is now the slower/stronger short wave trough that moves into the area Tuesday and deepens/closes an upper circulation over the Great Lakes into Thursday. We will need to hold onto the higher chance PoPs for the area during this period. 12z NAEFS standardized anomalies bring 2 to 3 standard deviation above normal PW's back into the region. CIPS analog- based severe probabilities max out on Tuesday and shifts to the east on Wednesday, which seems to match current ECMWF. Still, this looks to be the best severe threat these two days, along with the possibility of heavy rain. Following this system, we see the ECMWF, and to some degree the GFS, begin to build heights to the intermountain west and Central Plains. This leaves the northern states near the main polar jet and possibly close to any frontal boundary into next weekend. This would favor more MCS development/ridge riders across the northern states. We will need to monitor these trends for the possibility of the increasing threat of severe weather and heavy rainfall once again. Overall temperatures trending a little below normal to start with the trough moving through. Then trending warmer, perhaps a few degrees above normal into next weekend, barring widespread MCS development. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning) Issued at 633 AM CDT Sat Jul 6 2019 Showers are stubbornly holding on in western WI, but expect them to be gone by 18z. Then it's benign weather for a change, with mainly clear skies expected through Sunday, with light northeast winds today becoming southeast Sunday.
