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 Sioux Falls, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Mar 9, 3:33 PM CDT, 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 9, 3:33 PM CDT, 56 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
333 PM CDT Mon Mar 9 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 332 PM CDT Mon Mar 9 2020

After seeing almost all types of wintry precipitation today, the
remaining snowfall will be pulled out of the area as the surface low
pressure system south of our area moves off to the east. A surface
high pressure from the north quickly moves in leading to a cold,
albeit around normal, Tuesday morning. Due to the precipitation we
had today, there is a possibility for untreated roads to develop
some light ice on them. Models have trended towards colder overnight
temperatures, so have lowered temperatures a bit to reflect that
with lows in the mid 20s.

More precipitation is possible tomorrow as a result of two processes
at work. Zonal flow sends another short wave over our area, with a
pocket of mid-level frontogenesis leading to chances for some snow
mainly north of Highway 14. As temperatures warm, expect a switch
over to rain later in the morning. Not expecting much measurable
precipitation out of this, ranging from a tenth of an inch of snow
to half an inch in areas of southwestern MN. Largely along and south
of I-90, some mid-level instability moves in leading to additional
chances for rain showers tomorrow afternoon. Around a quarter of an
inch of rain is possible across portions of northwestern Iowa. As
the short wave moves through overnight, cooler temperatures and the
loss of the dendritic growth zone lead to the low possibility of
some light mixed precipitation.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday Night through Monday)
Issued at 332 PM CDT Mon Mar 9 2020

Temperatures start on the cooler side Wednesday morning, but with a
shift towards southerly winds and clearing skies expect temperatures
to rebound into the upper 40s to lower 60s. Another system moves
through Thursday morning, leading to another shot of some light
precipitation and cooler temperatures. Mostly in the form of rain,
the forcing is currently focused along and east of I-29 as that is
where the cold front intercepts the low level moisture. High
temperatures have trended lower on Thursday, but the current blend
seems reasonable so currently expecting highs in the mid 40s to
lower 50s.

Dry conditions are expected on Friday, but with the northwesterly
winds continuing the temperatures won't have the chance to warm up
much higher than upper 40s. Models continue to show chances for
precipitation across the area this weekend, however they are not in
agreement on timing or placement so that'll be something to look out
for. Cooler temperatures around normal are expect to continue
throughout the weekend, with a slightly more active pattern shaping
up for next week.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 1249 PM CDT Mon Mar 9 2020

Areas along and east of a KMML to KFSD to KSUX line will see light
wintry mix through the afternoon, with widespread RA/FZRA in
northwest IA and scattered snow/sleet for areas further north
toward KFSD. MVFR stratus prevails with pockets of lower IFR cigs
across the region this afternoon. Improvement will begin by mid
afternoon at KHON, clearing gradually eastward by early in the
evening. North winds will increase this afternoon, nearing 20 kts
at times with gusts up to 25 kts possible. Winds will weaken this
evening, becoming light and variable overnight under VFR
conditions.
