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 St. Louis, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jan 18, 11:05 AM CST, 28 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 18, 11:05 AM CST, 28 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
1105 AM CST Sat Jan 18 2020

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Sunday Afternoon)
Issued at 230 AM CST Sat Jan 18 2020

Rain continues to move east thru the area this morning. The last
of the rain shud be across far eastern portions of the CWA at 12z
and quickly move out of the area. The Flood Watch is expected to
be able to expire at 12z if not canceled early. A few showers,
currently over western MO and eastern KS, may be impacting far
northwestern portions of the CWA. This precip shud be rain, but
some light snow will be possible.

Otherwise, a strong cold front will push thru the area today,
bringing much colder air and gusty WNW winds. High temps for today
shud occur by Noon with temps falling thru tonight. The falling
temps and strong winds result in wind chill values approaching
-15F across the northern third or so of the CWA.

Cold temps continue for Sun as a strong surface ridge builds into
the area. Models are in good agreement with temps expected to
remain below freezing across the region despite insolation with
925mb temps around -8C or colder.

Tilly

.LONG TERM...  (Sunday Night through Friday)
Issued at 358 AM CST Sat Jan 18 2020

Models are still in good agreement with a strong surface ridge
building into the region, remaining over portions of the CWA
through Wednesday. Will see continued CAA across the area thru Mon
night as the ridge builds into the area. This will result in temps
some 15 to 20 degrees below seasonal average, as well as another
night of wind chill values in the -10 to -15F range Sun night.

A potent s/w will drop thru western portions of the area on Mon
into Mon night. Model solns differ regarding amount of precip with
this s/w, but with such cold temps in low levels, some light snow
is looking more likely. However, with better chances west of the
CWA, have kept PoPs dry for now.

Some warming shud begin Tues afternoon as southerly winds return
to the area, but any warmup will be slow. Precip chances return
Wed and increase Thurs into Fri. However, a fair amount of
differences in model solns, have kept PoPs in chance range for
now.

Tilly

.AVIATION...  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Sunday Afternoon)
Issued at 1047 AM CST Sat Jan 18 2020

Strong and gusty west-northwest winds can be expected this
afternoon due to a tight surface pressure gradient between the
deep surface low over the Great Lakes region and the surface ridge
building into the Plains. Will only see a slight and gradual weakening
of the sustained wind speed and gusts tonight and Sunday. The
MVFR cloud ceiling at the taf sites should clear out from west to
east later this afternoon into this evening. COU should improve to
VFR late this afternoon with UIN and the St Louis metro area
going VFR by early evening.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL: Strong and gusty west-northwest winds can be
expected this afternoon due to a tight surface pressure gradient
between the deep surface low over the Great Lakes region and the
surface ridge building into the Plains. Will only see a slight and
gradual weakening of the sustained wind speed and gusts tonight
and Sunday. The MVFR cloud ceiling should clear out from west to
east later this afternoon into this evening. STL should improve
to VFR by early evening.
