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 May 17, 2:59 PM CDT, 3 hours 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 17, 2:59 PM CDT, 3 hours 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
259 PM CDT Sun May 17 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday)
Issued at 257 PM CDT Sun May 17 2020

The upper-level low pressure system that brought yesterday and
today's rain will finally begin to exit the area this evening.
Locations east of the Hwy 59 corridor will see continued showers
through sunset. Breezy north winds become less gusty overnight, but
remain elevated east of I-29. Clearing skies over south-central
South Dakota could lead to areas of patchy fog, but the overall
threat remains low given a light pressure gradient that will promote
modest mixing of the nocturnal boundary layer.

Models have trended cooler and more cloudy for Monday due to the
aforementioned shortwave becoming vertically stacked and therefore
less progressive. Northwest Iowa in particular could remain more
cloudy than clear, keeping temperatures a bit below seasonal
average. Elsewhere, highs will be near normal with some breaks in
the clouds. Winds shift to light northeasterly then easterly through
the day.

.LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday)
Issued at 257 PM CDT Sun May 17 2020

Tuesday and Wednesday continue to look dry and pleasant, with
warming to slightly above normal temperatures and increasing
sunshine. Have trended slightly cooler than in the previous forecast
as the warm as the easterly wind component continue to advect cooler
Canadian air in from the east.

Southerly surface flow ahead of a longwave trough over the western
CONUS ushers in additional moisture Thursday into next weekend.
Model disagree on the timing of small scale forcing features, but
chances for rain showers and thunderstorms remain in the
forecast. No day currently looks like a washout, but afternoon and
evening convection can't be ruled out. Temperatures during this
period are forecast to be warm, in the upper 70s to low 80s, which
is 10 or so degrees above normal for this time of year.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1229 PM CDT Sun May 17 2020

Rain will continue east of I-29 this afternoon. Further west,
broken mid-level cloud decks persist through the evening. North
winds will be breezy through sunset, with gusts into the 25 to 30
kt range. Rain showers end in the east overnight as skies clear
west of I-29. Patchy fog will be possible where skies clear,
likely in the low-lying spots of south central South Dakota. High-
resolution models do not currently show widespread fog, which
seems reasonable given a light pressure gradient that lingers.
East of I-29, continued north winds and clouds will limit fog
potential. Light northeast and east winds are forecast for Monday
morning.
