MGWhat 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 Sioux Falls, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Mar 9, 6:06 AM CDT, 3 hours 27 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 9, 6:06 AM CDT, 3 hours 27 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD 606 AM CDT Mon Mar 9 2020 .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 343 AM CDT Mon Mar 9 2020 System moving through quickly this morning may bring a short period of light rain or light snow to a few locations, especially south of Interstate 90. There are two areas of forcing driving the precipitation threat. The main area is to the south where a little weak instability along the forcing of the low level jet will bring showers into mostly northwest IA. Will need to watch for the potential for a little mixed precipitation as the LLJ keeps a warm nose aloft in place as colder surface air races south. Farther north towards I-90 a little light snow will be possible but amounts will be minimal. This forcing should exit by late afternoon. The other area to watch is a lower confidence area in central NE and central SD which will move towards southeast SD and northeast NE this morning into early afternoon. The bulk of this forcing is related to some lift and moisture in and around the dendritic layer. The environment below is not overly supportive so amounts should be light if the precipitation can hold together. Lowered highs a bit as upper stream advection of colder air will keep the low levels on the colder side. This should mean highs in the mid 30s along highway 14 into southwest MN, near 40 along I-90 and in the lower to mid 40s closer to the Missouri River. Lowered lows tonight a little as well with light winds and mostly clear to partly cloudy skies through most of the night. Lows should mostly be from 20 to 25. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 343 AM CDT Mon Mar 9 2020 Tuesday into Tuesday night will see the next threat for precipitation for the area. Once again looking at two main areas of forcing to support precipitation. The first has trended a bit north and looks to be mainly north of Highway 14 but could extend south into this area. This is in response to the upper level wave moving through and increasing mid level frontal forcing. South of I-90 the thermal and moisture fields not overly supportive of a band of precipitation with somewhat dry air and a shallow mid level dendritic layer. However, from near I-90 and south during the afternoon and evening some weak instability appears as though it should allow scattered showers to develop and a walk through the forecast models indicates a mainly rain shower threat. Rainfall amounts should be minor with snow amounts near Highway 14 also a half an inch or less. Tuesday evening should see the precipitation exit east of I-29 and bring clearing skies and dry weather into Wednesday. Warmer air will build in aloft and allow for warmer temperatures during the day Wednesday, although maybe a little breezy from the south. Highs likely around 50 in southwest MN and 60 to 65 in south central SD. On the heels of this warm up will be another shot of colder air and another chance for light precipitation. This looks like a fast moving system which should not cause to many concerns. Lowered highs from guidance on Thursday with all models coming in on the cool side and supporting highs more in the upper 40s than lower to mid 50s. This cooler but still above normal pattern continues into Friday with dry conditions and highs roughly mid 40s to lower 50s. While the models are not real agreeable for next weekend they are all hinting at a little bit more of an active pattern. Nothing to really grab on to but a period to watch out for. Did lower highs on Saturday as all the models do indicate a cooler easterly regime that barely supports highs into the mid 30s along and east of I-29. Won;t go that cold but back off to near 40 in these locations and mid 40s along the Missouri River. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday morning) Issued at 604 AM CDT Mon Mar 9 2020 Rain will move into parts of northwest IA this morning and possibly mix with some snow late morning into the afternoon. Farther northwest some light snow may approach I-90 in SD this morning, then MN this afternoon. IFR and MVFR ceilings will gradually improve into the afternoon with most locations VFR by 22z to 01z this afternoon/evening. && .FSD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...NONE. MN...NONE. IA...NONE.
